Why do you think 2010 would be bad, J? Games in 2010 started production 2 years ago. Its not like any current projects are being canned. For the 3rd party news, that'd affect 2012. So maybe 2012 will be a bad year. That said, 2012 is likely the year the next gen stuff comes out anyway, so in the end this "doom and gloom" news really doesn't mean much of anything.
