I am quite dissapointed this year.

To be honest...from the exclusive front, this year was a bust for the 360...I enjoyed Halo Wars and Halo ODST, and Shadow Complex was a very good DLC game, imho, but that's been it...and Natal at E3 was great, but "Where's the Beef?" in exclusive gaming? M$ had better step their game up in 2010,...I'll give them some slack, as 2008 was GREAT...and the line-up is might strong right now with ME2 and Halo REach, but they had better have a beevy of AA+ at least titles by E3!

You are correct. But even in 2010, which will be the best year for xbox exclusives since 2007, there will be a megashittonload of AAA multiplatform games due to the pressure from MW2. So I think that would take some of the heat off of exclusivity, due to too many good games being multi.

 

I haven't seen any new franchises though, which I would like. Mainly cool sequels to fable, mass efffect, halo, KUF, and crackdown. All of which were AAA or deserved that identification. Well.. I guess alan wake is new.. But that's only one new series.

I'm looking at 2010 and beyond...Why are exclusives like Killer Instinct just wasting away?  Look at MechWarrior for example...M$ leased that back to have a 3rd party develop the upcoming game...WHY?!?!  M$ doesn't have enough money?  That's just stupid, imho.  M$ has a TON of potential AAA IPs...they are simply sitting on them, and It's a head scratcher.  MSGS needs to get project teams actively working IPs...instead of whatever the heck they are doing...
