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.

I don't think that crytek game will be ready until 2012 at least. Ain't Crytek still working on Crysis 2. They probabley only have a team of 10 working on the 360 exclusive. Also if Sonys main focus was on move next year only and all the PS3 was getting was multiplat then I'd be a very pissed off PS3 owner. Miscrosofts handing over sales to the PS3 with that delay
