As for software, devs seems to be at a complete loss on what to do.
I see a lot of people say that XB360 moves a lot of software, so all the games will come to it.
The truth is that only some kind of games makes big sales, and most of the others just bomb hard, especially harder since they cost more to make than last gen.
So if all devs were to turn to this console, that's a great pan of the console games genre that will just disappear, with a crash following, as the market will just be too crowded in a few genres.
I'll stop there for now, just saying I feel a big shift taking place, and not for the best. A shift that will leave lots of casualties behind it, at least that's how I feel it.
As for what I see instead of feeling, for now, is a very healthy market, at least in money, but this is mainly pushed by the Wii and DS, which isn't reassuring.

Now, to go back on topic, after the holiday craze, the OP makes no sense to me. At least wait for the month to end before making conclusions.

 Okay... I'm not even going to try and address the first part of your post... it's all over the place.

 

Concerning the bolded text above, here are the 30 million-unit-selling games on the 360.  Notice the variety of games such as Halo 3, Oblivion, Forza, Guitar Hero, Dead Rising, etc.  So much for the FPS-is-the-only-successful-genre-on-the-360 argument.
