| JRPG said: I posted this chart in another thread, but i felt i should share it with you loyal 360 thread users, and by that i mean all the PS3 trolls that haunt the Microsoft Discussion. If you look at the chart you will notice the lack of AAA titles that came out on the 360 between January 2008 and mid April 2008. Lost Odyessy was the biggest release on the 360 until GTA in late april. I don't know if you are new to the industry, but most major releases don't come out till the second half of the year. If i see another doom and gloom thread, i'm gonna crack...especially if its made by a Sony friend.

I can agree with the overall premise to some extent. The problem as I see it (And has MS fans scared and Sony fans salivating at the mouth) is at this late juncture there was plenty more coming out about the 08' MS lineup then there is this year about the 09' MS Lineup. These things don't happen out of thin air, normally. Normally you will see something or hear something. So far it's been very silent on the MS front (For 09' atleast).
The only problem that I personally see moving forward with Xbox 360 into the future is that they do lack big ticket First Party franchises. So while Halo is amazingly popular and practically drives tons of sales for the system (As does Gears), There isn't a whole lot more to their strategy than that, IMHO. Get good third party support and produce a few of our bread and butter games (Halo, etc). The only issue as far as I'm concerned is the short-sighted nature of that for this current generation. I mean feasibly if Gears of War 3 comes out in 2010...I think it's safe to say that the franchise is going to be milked pretty significantly this generation. I just wonder what new IPs is Microsoft going to bring out? This is one area where Sony has capitalized on IMHO.
