Epic is making their final exclusive game for 360 (I could be wrong but think Gears 3 is their last game as an exclusive).

Nothing confirmed yet. Only that this is the last Gears game of "this" trilogy, expect more next gen. I doubt Epic will walk, if they didn't care for Sony following the success of the PS2, they won't care with the failure of the PS3.

 Rare is out making kinect games.

Being a 4 studio team, I doubt that is all.

Will Microsoft have to continue to rely on 3rd party exclusives?

No more so then usual. Perhaps even less.

SO is Microsoft in trouble with the lack of 1st party studios?

People have been asking that question since 2001. Sony's in last place and 360 1st party games outsell PS3 first party games signifcantly. Whatever they're doing, it worked.

 

You should probably also note, that last generation, we had no idea Microsoft was also doing / Gears of War/ Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey/Crackdown/Mass Effect when the Xbox was awaiting Halo 2. They're probably doing the same now for next gen with Studios you never even knew existed.

The 360 has 1 major selling 1st Party title. I doubt that one title alone would be much against an entire arsenal of 1st party games, which it isn't. Halo is hardly a reason Sony is in last place. Nice effort on the spin though.

OT: They may lose some fans here or there, depending on how far they go with Kinect and what it means for their future. Since Halo and Gears are a HUGE part of the Xbox experience, I doubt they'll be abandoned next gen, and like this gen, Microsoft could find franchises next gen and strike gold again.


1 major selling franchise?

Last time I checked Fable is a major selling franchise in fact its outsold Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Infamous, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, and others.

I think you ought to be careful calling others out for spin CGI.
