After nearly four years Nintendo brought us a rehashed Gamecube game (Zelda), a Mario similar to it's previous installment besides story and a few new characters, Brawl... which is I admit prob the best fighting game ever due to the fun factor.. and then a whole bunch of random Wii this and that's, which barely qualify as an effort on Nintendo's behalf. I think the OP's trying to make a list of the developers who have made the greatest strides from the previous generation. ND may have been great with Jak, but they created a fantastic new IP which has no similarities to their previous game, doesn't even look like the same company made them. Same thing with Epic and Infinity Ward. I do think Betheseda should be on there though.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
