It would be a big thing if they announce Halo 4 and Gears 3 for 360 in 2010. But, if they do that, what are they going to have to move Nextbox? It will be at least as expensive as the 360 was at its launch and Halo and Gears are Microsoft's biggest gaming properties. Microsoft doesn't really have anything else big enough to move a new console other than those games.

And if Halo 4 and Gears 3 come to the 360 burn out will start to set in for a 5th or 4th installment of either series on Nextbox as it does in almost all entertainment series. See how the last three Star Wars films are generally not considered to be in the same league as the first three, how the last Spider-Man film turn ed into a groaner for many fans towards the end, and much the same with Tim Burton's Batman film series and many more.

If you really believed this you wouldn't hype GT5 and FF13 in your sig.


Yeah, they would because they are special like a lot of Nintendo projects maybe its because they're Japanese.  On the other hand like the Star Wars prequels and the Spider-Man movies and the late eighties and early nineties Batman movies for some reason Western properties always seem to get burn out following the third installment.

Maybe its because Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Gran Turismo don't really have any challengers in their respective genres while a game series like Gears and another one like Mass Effect come along and do the whole sci-fi thing better than Halo and games like Bioshock and Modern Warfare 2 come along and do th shooter thing much better than Halo and thus steal a lot of its thunder.
