Nope, this is a myth.

Anyway, MS do have an OK lineup this year. I'm willing to bet Splinter Cell and Alan Wake will get Q4 release dates and Forza 3 & Killer Instinct 3 will be revealed soon.

 

 Really what about Gears 2?  One of their biggest games ever?  Also a Microsoft rep came out and said they would be announcing to more exsclusive games for 09 sometime soon.

Announced in March 2008, released in Nov 2008. That's 8 months. Sony and Nintendo both reveal certain games close to their release dates as well, I'm not sure why so many people give Microsoft credit for it. And both Sony and Nintendo both have unannounced games for 2009 also. But yeah, this thread is about Microsoft so I'm expecting KI 3 & Forza 3 for 2009. And hopefully Crackdown 2 although I'm not too optimistic about that one.

 

 

One of the big critism Sony is receiving is announcing games too early, MS is just trying to be different and hold their cards closer to their chest. They've mentioned it a couple times - the 360 has a couple cards that no one knows about...

And maybe MS is learning from Apple.. it makes sense not to announce games years in advance, hype can kill a game just as well as make it a blockbuster!
