| Rpruett said: 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. |
i see the same thing from Nintendo and it upsets me to no end, but the dif is Nintendo has the IP's.
i think everything you said is right except the Halo and Gears coments? i'm not convenced we've seen the last of these two games with 5 yr's left in this gen. the new studio behind handling everything Halo will haft to prove they can do a good Halo game so i think theres room for 1 more Halo game.
as for Gears?, Cliff bleszinski has already stated that theres more that can be done in a 3rd person cover based shooter so there maybe room for another if not a new TPS for all platforms. (i know Gears was planed as a trilogy)
