OP

you gave yourself your solution in your last sentence. Releasing a bunch of "good" games in a short period of time only sabotages individual game sales. The development companies then won't make a profit, and then....well....goodbye 360 as a viable platform for big budget games.

Halo 3, COD4, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, GH3, Rock Band, and Orange Box say Hi.

 

Halo 3, COD4, Rock Band and GH3 were going to sell regardless. Just like Madden always sells millions. Leaving Bioshock, Ass. Creed, Mass Effect, and Orange Box. Mass Effect took a couple of months to reach 1 million sales, Bioshock was released in August 2007, and Ass. Creed was a hyped "look the Xbox stole another PS3 exclusive" game.
