10 new IPs on Kinect? How many people own Kinect?

10 Million

 (At a minimum they are leaving a majority of non-Kinect owners hanging out to dry).

No, i'd have to say a holiday with Gears, Halo and Forza is every hardcore gamers dream.

Jazz2K said:

Then you need to be concerned If they are even full-fledged titles with tons of value associated.  Generally as we have seen with the Motion control movement (Tons and Tons and Tons of Shovelware, regardless of the console

No one cares. They're exclusive and seperating them for their control system means the same applies to things like the DS and the Wii and the PS3 Dual Shock 3.

Speaking of fully fledged content, where do you put something like Twisted Metal and Ratchet and Clank All 4 one in terms of "value associated" because i've seen them on listwars when they're essentially cancelled PSN games forced to retail.

These are third and fourth sequels to loved games.  I'm sorry the luster is gone (Atleast with this current hardware).  What else are you going to buy though?

Stop speaking for everyone, Halo and Gears are as big as ever, bigger even.

Jazz2K said:

The thing is, by having a diverse exclusive lineup, they not only have more chances to hit with success, they have a greater chance to strike joy within every sect of their ownership/fanbase.  Sorry to say it, but if you don't like Forza,Halo, or Gears you're pretty much screwed.

Insert Uncharted, god of war, GT, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon as applicable.

How droll to try and gloss over a companies successful franchises - Hey, if you ignore Avatar, Titanic and T2 - James Cameron is pretty much screwed.

Core gamers care most about the quality of overall lineups with games that have their interests in mind.

For the forseeable future then, at least this holiday, the combo of Forza Gears Halo is of higher calibur then resistance uncharted twisted metal

I'm not going to get into a list war with you, but we all know that the PS3 has more compelling releases to date across various genres for 2011.

I feel gamers will be compelled to buy more Xbox 360 exclusives this year than PS3 exclusives. Stake my account on it.

Jazz2K said:

 And yes they are sequels (As I mentioned above) Gears is working on it's third game (And has notoriety for it's fun multi-player), Uncharted is similar also working on it's third game but Uncharted has notoriety for it's fun Single-player.)   In essence, Uncharted needs , more sequels because for many people once you beat the single player campaign, it's over.

Ridiculous that you try to justify this kind of thing. Plus you basically ignore the fact that Gears of War's campaigns and multiplayer are not seperate entities.  They are one and the same

Jazz2K said:

Forza is working on it's third release with a possible MMO-ish 4th.  A good series but hard to justify making 4 purchases of the same game (In my eyes).

They are all different games, not in your eyes.

Jazz2K said:

And Halo has been the worst offender thus far.  Halo 3,Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach.  There isn't a PS3 IP on it's 4th iteration this generation that I can think of.

Since you're counting spin-offs, we can include God of War, Ratchet, Resistance Gran Turismo, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet and possibly more. None as successful as those Halo games.

Jazz2K said:

If you're not a little Halo'd, Gears, Forza'd out by now, I think there is something wrong.  They need to come up with some new IPs to get you excited for next generation and bring out new Gears, Halo, etc

Um, clearly the sales show folks are more happy with these franchises then most alternatives. I also wouldn't dictate what is the best stratagem for next gen.

Jazz2K said:

Sony has a few like Resistance, Uncharted, Motorstorm.  But they also have many more exclusive titles to release simultaneously with these milked Sony franchises.  Where as Microsoft makes these milked franchises their mantlepiece.

Microsoft can make the franchise it's mantlepiece, it's the difference between having a killer app vs. filler apps.

 

I hope you understand the one you quoted is me but some guy replied to me and you got my name on the replies... anyway!

Saying sequels on PS3 are welcomed and justified but sequels on 360 are unwanted milking sounds like a joke of a response and can not be taken seriously. Especially when he compared Uncharted to Gears... lol that's gold.
