Of course there will be new games for the 360, but looking at this from the big perspective, it's likely Halo 3 had a much bigger effect on hardware sales than a Halo 4 would have for the 360. The bulk of hardcore Halo fans already own one or more 360s, Halo 4 needs to be really amazing (unlike Halo 3, which may have dampened some people's expectations for another sequel) to draw in many new 360 owners.
Apart from Fable 2 all important XBox sequels have been released to lure XBox owners towards the 360, Microsoft needs to try a lof of new stuff. I don't think their games development teams are as powerful and creative as Sony's or even Nintendo's small skilled team.
I have no real doubt the 360 will end a distant 3rd this generation.

OK then after GT 5 what other big franchise does PS3 have? Ofcourse it'll have KZ 2 and Resistance 2 for now but they, like you said about the 360 are not tried and tested franchises. Final Fantasy is a 360 exclusive so you cannnot really count that in. So apart from GT 5 what else does Sony have? Ofcourse it will get new games but you know.
End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m
