Kruze, the thing is, as others have stated: you won't sell alot of software for those titles if your not moving systems too. MS could either sell the 360 @ $400, make $150 a system, and sell far fewer games, or sell the 360 @ $300, make $50 a console, but move 5 times the games, recouping a bit of their costs. Don't think they could move 5x the software? Check the tier ratios (Im not saying a price drop would mean 5x the software just for those games and thats it, but over about a 6mo period). Why I said what I did with the reviews: GTAIV will most likely garner a 95%+, regardless if you like it or not. That'll far outweigh anything else, both from a sales standpoint and review standpoint. Mass Effect will win RPG of the year, atleast for consoles because what games are actually going to go up against it? There are no major RPG Wii titles, no PS3 titles to compete against, and KOTOR did phenominally well review wise, and I assume that it'll garner similar, ultra-positive reviews. Halo 1 and 2 either won, or got runner up GOTYs from most websites, so I just am assuming that the trend will continue. Could SMG be a contender? Absolutely. So could MP3 or SSBB. However, I don't know if they'll truely get it, as most websites have been very negative review wise on every Wii title but Zelda:TP. Even SPM, which looks PERFECT to me got a paltry 85%. Far from what's needed to match the other uber-games.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
