It seems like that's the case almost every year (Although 360 usually has 2 or 3 games to list). I'm sure the 360 will pickup some games as the year goes on so I wouldn't be worried just yet.
....But this is something that I have felt for several years now will really cripple the 360. They just don't have enough first party studio's. I've felt for this entire generation they are relying primarily on
(Gears sequel/Halo IP game/ Forza sequel / Fable / Third Party Exclusive).
This lack of first party studios becomes even more astounding when you think about the Kinect. They better pray that Kinect garners a ton of third party support, otherwise they are going to have a hard time pushing a concept that's never really been done before and proving that it works and works well.
What happens when what happened to Sony (Losing almost all third party exclusivity) happens to Microsoft? I mean we're already seeing Bioshock/Mass Effect/Portal/etc big time games jump ship over to Sony. I think Sony will clearly out produce MS in this regard because they have the ability to pump out several IPs per year with their sheer amount of First Party.
I guess to sum it up, MS is notorious a 'last minute' surprise type of company (Especially this early in the year) where as Sony announces their games 5 years before they hit the market (See GT5 :P)....So there is some time for MS to announce a beefier lineup, but overall I think we will start to see this more and more and tilt in favor of the PS3. (Especially if we've seen the last Halo / Gears ) this generation.

heheheheheh yea yea so true man...like Alan wake which was done in 3 months....oh no wait
anywho yea its true..by this time last year we knew of Reach didn't we? and Fable? Splinter cell? Crackdown2? I know MS fans would like to this MS is huge on surprised but E3 is done...GC is done...and we do not know more than 2 games that's for next year....also it's not like Sony doesn't keep surprises either...LBP2 was announced and such this year and they have a huge line up of possible exclusives that can be announced at next E3 too..like UC3
so yeah imho it's not looking too good for 360 fans.....even some of my most hardcore 360 fans are annoyed by this
oh and btw...you missed Forza Kinect..

Alan Wake was announced by Remedy, not Microsoft. I do find it funny, however, that most of the people worrying about exclusives the 360 has every year, are mainly in the PS3 camp. I, on the other hand, don't give a flying fig about whether games are exclusive or not. I'll enjoy Gears of War 3 and all the great third party stuff the 360 gets next year like Dragon Age II, Rage, and Mortal Kombat.
