Halo Wars wont sell, it has two things going against it, one its an RTS on a console, and they dont sell well on consoles, second its based off a game that is popular because of its gameplay, as a FPS, which Halo Wars is not.
FFXIII is exclusive to Sony in Japan, where the FF series sells like nuts, and Sony's install base is basically identicle in Europe so sales should be split there, in America I think there are more people that bought PS3's in anticipation for FFXIII then most people give credit for. Of course they bought those PS3's before SE gave a port to the 360.
Gears 3 is rumored to not be published by MS and I would be utterly shocked if it doesnt go multiplat, especially if Epic goes through EA's partners program.
COD:WaW is Multiplat, so is COD5. (not 6, that hasnt been announced yet, though it would not be made by Infinityward, so I dont care either way)
XBL and PSN are virtually identicle now and PSN is free.
Alan Wake still doesnt have a release date and the last news out of the developer was "We hit some snags".
Halo's 3rd person shooter has a decent chance, but I still doubt it will pull alot of those FPS players from Halo 3.
Mass Effect 2 will be published by EA, and if the rumors are true Mass Effect will hit the PS3 next year and ME2 will be multiplat, but I dont know about those rumors.
You do have the XNA and Netflix thing right, good thing you have to pay for those on top of the XBLA charge.
Personally, I think either the 360 will barely break last years numbers, or fall short slightly, making last year the year it peaked.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
