Oh come on people.... most video game website are saying that the XB christmas line up is one of the best ever seen... don't tell me they are all XB fanboys with bias opinions....

even me I never had a list of wishes that long for any console in the past..... between the exclusives and the multi plat XBox is offering one of the best choice we have seen during the same period of time.... and not just on couple of genre.... but most of them if not all..... with, forza, the darkness, over lord, blue dragon, assassin's creed, mass effect, kane and lynch, simpson, GTA 4, mercenarie 2, bioshock, stranglehold, tony hawk, naruto, halo 3, COD4 and all the sports game, rock band, viva pinata party etc.... don't tell me the line up is not Fing awesome... that's pure heresy..... and that's not being a fanboy to say it..... it's just being realistic..... and it doesn't mean it wills sell either..... but if you don't like the line up either you are either a 100% WII fan and then I understand (and I have nothing against it).... or you are simply not made for video games and should find a new hobby....

If it is such an unbelieveable lineup which everyone should recognize its greatness why is the XBox 360 not selling better? Just because it suits your tastes doesn't make it a great line-up ...

Seriously, in games that have scored 85% or better on Gamerankings.com you have:

1 RPG (and one expansion for that RPG) [Oblivion, Shivering Isles]
5 Shooters [Gears of War, Advanced Warfighter 1+2, Ranbow Six, Call of Duty 2]
1 Zombie Game [Dead Rizing]
1 Fighter [Dead or Alive 4]
3 Racing games [Burnout Revenge, Project Gotham Racing 3, Forza 2]
Fight Night Round 3, Castlevania, and Geometry Wars

For a system that has been out for 18 months you think they would have a few more genres well covered ...

 

 

 

 ???? what are you trying to prove ???? that the consumer is not aware enough ???? if tomorrow consumers are doing educated choices... I am out of work.... when i'll start to judge a game or anything else by public ratio it's going to be heaven on earth.....

i can do the same example again and again, why windows is the most used OS in the world it's not the best and it's not the cheapest..... why Dreamcast didn't work when it was one of the best system out there.... why mcdonald's is doing better that better quality fastfood..... it just doesn't make sense but it's the way it is...... and you want to know why.... because you have thousands of people like me around the world paid to make sure that it's mcdies doing better or windows or  anything that put the means to it..... exactly what sony did when PS1 came out.....

 

and what you are saying doesn't make sens also because even if it has been 18 month and just that few games are considered good, it's still the best you can find out there right now though..... so even if it's not that much, you don't have better elsewhere....  

 

but before continuing on that road just tell me in your opinion which chrismas line up has been better in the past... i'd like to know????? 

I can't say what would be the best line-up for everyone, or the best line-up for you but in 2004 every company seemed to release a sequel to their major games and many popular genres began that year... The PS2 had Metal Gear Solid 3, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Katamari Damacy, Jak 3, Viewtiful Joe 2, Prince of Persia 2 the Warrior within, Burnout 3 and Alien Hominid.

Those were all were games that scored more that 80%+ (most over 85%) on Gamerankings and were released in October, November or December of 2004. The only reason the PS2 didn't break records that year was Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2, Half-LIfe 2, and World of Warcraft were all released at the exact same time.

What made the PS2 so good that year was that there was an excellent quality game for EVERYONE, not just FPS and Racing game fans.
