I wonder if we're looking at this all the wrong way. Perhaps Microsoft doesn't want to overshadow something else of theirs . . . I did hear that they have more then one title to announce. Or maybe it was show. Either way, a Gears announcement would obliterate most other ones other then a new Halo . . .

Maybe its smart, maybe it isn't. All I know is the VGAs just got less interesting.

That's what I think too.

I'm expecting something else from Microsoft. Big hopefully.

I think there's a better chance of it snowing in hell tonight, personally.

All we'll get are a few multiplats like ME3, Arkham Asylum 2, and Saint's Row 3 (that's a guess, it seems like this would be a good place to announce that). Like I said before, Microsoft doesn't announce anything outside of E3 anymore. The only exception is Gears 3, which everybody knew was coming a month before it was announced. We might see a Kingdoms trailer with actual gameplay, but I'd put that at about a 5% likelihood of actually happening.

But don't you find the lack of Microsoft games for 2011 odd? I'm sure they have something to announce and now would be a perfect time otherwise it goes all the way to GDC.
