Wow. That was a pretty darn good read Squilliam. And I agree with all of it pretty much. However I don't think you can necessarily put it into a group of bullet points to sum it up. To say that Microsoft's plan for the 360 has been "interesting" would be a huge understatment.

Very few 1st party offerings / studios
letting their biggest 1st party studio Bungie go independant
Landind surprising and controversial partners (Sqare Enix)
Not buying 3rd parties and transforming them into 1st parties but instead buying right to the series (Halo, Gears of War) and exsclusive DLC
Not announcing huge AAA games far in advance like Sony (Killzone 2, FFXIII, etc) but insteadonly a few months before release (Gears 2)

Microsoft is a very interesting company to watch this gen and honestly i never really have any idea what they have up their sleeve
