Crisis 2 is hopefully undertracked. And the Kinect and X360 hopefully undertracked, or else we're in big trouble.

Also it's hard for me to believe the Wii sold as good as the X360.

Its hard for me to believe kinect and the 360 are undertracked. There has been no good release of games in a while, and no exclusives in months

Yeah and yet they both were selling like hot cakes up until February (according to both NPD and VGC). And all of a sudden they're tanking. Doesn't make sense.

Besides, there's been several great multiplatforms released this year, more than usual. Ded Space2, DA2, Bulletstorm, Crisis 2 etc.

That was the kinect effect, and there were new games out for it. But now, where are the games? So i does make sense. MS is losing big on this one by having a really low ammount of exclusives. Imagine if the ps3 had no games in 2009, the gap would be at 6 million right now lol.

Like i said, it was kinect that carried the 360 all of winter, but now that kinect has a very low amount of games it is bound to die down. (which is happening now).

I've been saying this all last year, but people called my a fanboy/hater/crazy/whatever. Now suddenly I can buy a used Kienct for $99, and amazon is sending me emails for a $50 giftcard if I buy Kinect. The fall is already starting, as expected.

It's a simple concept. The hardware needs games in order to keep selling, even a hardware add on like Kinect, because GAMES are its primary purpose. If it doesn't get the games, there is no longer a reason to buy the hardware. Kinect Sports and Dance Central can only do so much. Even the phenomenal success NSMB Wii could only carry Wii for about a year.
