IMHO the 360 has the best games line up for 2010 including: Halo: Reach, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, etc. You forgot to mention Mass Effect 2(console exclusive) and Crack down 2(exclusive)- two games that will not be on the PS3. The Wii has Super Mario Galaxy 2 and a New Zelda game.
Multiplatform games in 2010 include FFXIII launched in the west along with Bioshock 2.
PS3 only has God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5 and Heavy Rain and I would not hold my breath on M.A.G.(hardcore online only game) or Agent(never heard of that game) they are unproven games. FFXIII Versus and FF XIV may not arrive in 2010.
Natal is the 360s secret weapon in 2010. Oh it also has upcoming price cuts that will further attract more consumers especially the lower end of the market when the Arcade 360 hits the $149 in 2010.

Alan Wake is also unproven and i dont believe you have not heard of Agent.
As for me i think Sony will take the first three months then Sony and MS will run neck and neck for the rest of the year.

Alan Wake has as much chance or probably more chance of being successful than Heavy Rain on PS3. New IPs are unproven. By the looks of things Alan Wake looks a lot more appealing than Heavy Rain. Issues have been raised in articles regarding Heavy Rain's game play but I have not heard much bad press on Alan Wake. Both Heavy Rain and Alan Wake screen shots look impressive from a visual stand point. But we can not solely judge games on their visuals.

I do agree with you in your main point (truly)
I just want to point out that even if Alan Wake is not directly released on PC, the "first lover" community is ... on PC meaning that a lot of people were expecting AW to be on PC too before it becomes Xbox360 only. so depending of "port or not port" policy it is hard to comment on AW success.
By the way, same goes for ME2 even if is a proven IP it will also be released on PC. IMO, I could play ME and ME2 without getting a 360.
I m wonefring if it is true for Splinter cell .... checking .... it is also PC/360 game ...
That does not change that the 360 line up is really on par with the PS3 one for early 2010 if you take away GT5 because of his "big brand impact"

Halo:Reach will sell more ltd copies than Gran Turismo 5. Halo series is now the biggest exclusive non-Wii console brand name this generation. Halo:ODST released last September an expansion pack has sold around 4 million and counting. Halo 3 sold over 10.5 million and counting. Gran turismo 5: prologue released early 2008 has sold below 4 million. Gran Turismo series was big on PS1/2 but the market has changed this generation. FPS games have taken over.
"Console exclusive" is the key phrase: Mass effect 2, Splinter Cell: conviction and Alan Wake will actually sell more genuine copies on the 360 than the PC. PC gaming is plagued by bootleg copies and you have to have a fairly powerful machine to run the latest games these days.
