The best thing is that M$ usually waits to announce the really big games until well into the year.

 

I'll never understand this mentality.

Games like Banjo and Fable were announced over two years before release.  Many big games for next year have already been announced as well, like Halo 3: Recon and Ninja Blade.

You may get an announcement of a sequel to a game that has already been released on the 360 well into the year (if by "well" you mean before March), but that's it (like Gears 2 this past year, and probably Mass Effect 2 next year, similar to Sony announcing Resistance 2 and MotorStorm 2 near the beginning of this year).

Halo 3: Recon was announced at TGS last month, and that won't be coming to next fall.  A full year before launch. But that's "well into the year" right?

I hate people who have the mentality that MS doesn't do the same thing that Sony does.  H3: Recon announced a year earlier than coming out is not "waiting" to announce anything.  People expecting many new unannounced games to be announced and launched between Jan 1, 2009 and Dec 31, 2009 are going to be sorely disappointed when the only games that do that are "You're in the movies 2" and "Lips 2" cause that's what was announced between those times this year, IIRC.
