The old "MS leaves everything to the last minute" myth again. I hope we get Alan Wake 2.

Myths usually aren't proven every year. I would have thought after the last 5 years people know M$ dont upset their fans.

Alan Wake was announced in 2005 at E3, it released in 2010.

Fable 2 was announced in 2006 and was then released in 2008.

Lost Odyssey was shown at TGS 06 and was released in 2008

Blue Dragon was announced in Feburary of 05 and was then released later in December 06.

Mass Effect was announced in 2005 and released in 2007.

Halo Reach was announced in June of 2009 and it was released over a year later in September of 2010.

Halo 3 was announced in June of 2006 and released over a year later in 2007.

Too Human for the 360 was announced in 2005 and was released in 2008.

Spinter Cell: Conviction was announced in 2007 and was released in 2010.

Fable 3 was announced in August in 2009 and was released over a year later in October in 2010.

Mass Effect 2 was released a year after it's announcement.

Gears of War 3 was announced in April of 2010 and it's being released well over a year later in September of 2011.

I can probably find more, but basically, it's a myth. Just because Microsoft have the announcement and then release it shortly after a few times (Forza 3, Gears 2, Viva Pinata), it doesn't mean that the vast majority of their releases aren't announced a full year or more before they release.

Actually what Sony is doing now is playing catch-up due to their lackluster holiday 2010 lineup.

Because MS had a great exclusive holiday 2010 line up? Fable III Kinect  (and if you want to do some spin you can add the in the summer released Halo Reach)    Even with halo Reach included this is an ok holiday at best...  Sure with Sony only releasing GT 5 and some PS2 collections it is for sure not doing better...But with DC Universe Online, Little Big Planet 2, Hyperdimension Neptune, Killzone 3, Yakuza 4, some move games, Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel, MotorStorm: Apocalypse,    and etc...Sony did not only catch up with MS's holiday 2010 line up..They striked it down, shit on it and is laughing with it;..

People like you make me ashamed of being with the X360 family..Grown up like the rest of the X360 fans did and hope MS is going to announce some good stuff..


 

They released the best selling exclusive game on their platform, the fastest selling gadget in history on this spinning marble and a 4 million exclusive... So that is an Okay lineup... Got it.

I am not a hardcore fanboy. I do play the PS3, I do play the PC, but I do prefer the 360. That's it.

People just forget that about 16 exclusive games were released on the Xbox 360 in the past 7 months.
