The XBOX 360 is set to have its weakest year so far while the PS3 is set to have its best year so far. I just wouldn't expect to hear something like that when the XBOX 360 has next to no exclusives game coming out in the near future outside of Kinect games and the flagship titles like Halo, Gears and Forza.
I understand now because you were including Kinect titles, don't worry, I was thinking more about hardcore games.

But a lot of upcoming Kinect titles are core, even though most aren't. Steel Batallion, Rise of Nightmares, Ryse, and debatably Fable.
It is true though, that MS needs to establish a new IP. Those Kinect games won't be AAA, but they may sell close to what Sly Cooper sells.
Then agin, do you consider something like Sly Cooper hardcore, or casual?

Core =/= Good
I don't have faith in any "core" Kinect game, it just doesn't seem feasible to have core controls with a Kinect game. I was focusing on games from highly rated and well respected developers, preferably without motion controls.
It would be great to see a new IP from Microsoft, they need to throw some spare change at Rare and kick their asses back into gear.
As for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, I wouldn't call it hardcore or casual, it's a game for everyone. I haven't actually played it and I don't plan to either, but it reminds me of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, it's a game that both casual and hardcore audiences can love.

A game for everyone huh? So where do you draw the line for a casual experience? Is Mario Kart casual, or for everyone? What about Just Dance, or Wii Sports?
As for a "core" Kinect game. I can see why anyone would be skeptical. Remember how many people were skeptical of Wii when it came out? However it works, Metroid Prime 3 is probably the funnest FPS I have ever played, but most good Wii games don't use the Wii-mote to it's fullest (Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc).
However showing "core" Kinect games, skeptical as most gamers might be, they are still "core." It's just not traditional controller based core games, and I'll agree MS definatly needs more traditional games.

Mario Kart is a game for everybody, it's simple and fun. Wii sports is crossing the line, moving into a casual title, Just Dance steps way over the line.
And can you blame me for being skeptical, the difference between the Wii and Kinect is that the Wii has buttons (as Sony like to put it). Body movements cannot replace 17 buttons and 2 triggers, I stand by my word when I say every Kinect game will have to be on rails as well. Only a minority of hardcore game can be on rails, panzer dragoon for example or an arcade shooter.
