Everyone seems to forget that this year is Huge third party year.

LOL at any RPG to go up against Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 both out this year.

Also L.A Noire is out during E3 and we also have Battlefield 3. I think it would be rediculous for anymore than 3 or 4 first party titles to come out this year. The year is looking great for any consoles, not really because of first party titles.

Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, UC3, Forza 4 and Gears 3 will be the top selling titles this year. Not in that order though. Third party offerings this year are pure golden.

That's why you release Killzone 3, Motorstorm, inFamous 2 and SOCOM 4 early, and save Uncharted 3, Resistance and Ratchet for Christmas!

The thing is 3rd party games will keep most Xbox fans happy, but they are not going to be selling Xboxes, there is still plenty of room for 1st party games as well as 3rd party games

to be honest I think the sheer number of PS3 exclusives this year is going to cannebalize sales.  LittleBigPlanet 2 is already slowing down big time and Killzone 3 isn't matching Killzone 2's pace.  With the sheer number of excellent 3rd party games available as well it kind of makes titles get drowned.  Not that I'm complaining though its given me plenty of stuff to play!

And for the record 3rd party games do sell Xboxs.  And PS3's.
