So what does MS have planned for their hardcore userbase for Jan-September? If I only had an XBox I would find this worrisome, especially after MS stated that the reason for this had nothing to do with polishing up or anything, with the only reason being that they want it to be their marquee title next holiday season. The game is ready for a spring release, but instead of giving it to you guys they instead choose to hold it back.
I don't know about all of you, but that tells me that if they didn't delay it you probably wouldn't have had any big exclusive for next holiday season.
Anyone else noticing this?
Microsoft needs to get themselves some more studios.

Their focus has shifted a bit. They're really pushing Kinect and they may REALLY do that between Nov 2010 and the Fall of next year, to really get the message across. They probably have Forza 4 (or PRG5), Gears 3, and maybe Crytek's exclusive for their core fans, and leave the Jan - Sept months to let mutliplats and Kinect do the talking against Sony & Nintendo.

Crytek is still working on Crysis 2 which releases next year. I doubt Codename : Kingdoms is a 2011 release.
Problem with letting Kinect have all the attention during Jan-Sept could be really bad if Kinect doesn't take off, because if the casuals do not buy into it they won't have the hardcore to keep them afloat.
They would have never needed to do it this way if they had more studios. With more studios they would have been able to focus on both.

Crytek Frankfurt and UK are working on Crysis 2. Crytek Budapest is working on Kingdoms.
@OT: Multiplayer better be fixed, Epic!
