No, first I'm talking about how the 360's peak year was 2007 because that was when its best games were on it, and it did have a sales spike from these games. Then it should have strengthened this in 2008 if most of its games had lived up to their expectations (which they didn't do which allowed the PS3 to outsell the 360 in Others and Japan most months of the year), but still managed a sales spike from Fable II and Gears of War 2 (even though they were still both mildly disappointing games compared to the hype placed on them) and two pricecuts.
Now in 2009, it doesn't seem to have any exclusives announced at all that seem to really have the potential to really be outstanding games (maybe Forza but its up against GT5 and maybe Alan Wake but it could finish anywhere as low as the last Alone in the Dark or as high as RE5 in reviews, but I don't think anyone expects it to be better than RE5 which was only a 9.0)
