It's too bad Sony's "exclusives" are already out for Nintendo. Either way, I imagine that whatever this is, it'll be filling in Gears of Wars space on the exclusive list. People can argue about lack of variety all they want but Microsoft is about business and when 6 of the top 10 games played on Live right now are shooters, it seems smart to produce more of what sells.

Though I do not agree Sony's and Ni ntendo's exclusives are similar in any way. I agree MS is doing what they know will sell and it is the right thing to do. Corporations hardly ever cater to minorities complaining about variety on forum boards.    The funny thing is, I fit the MS gamer description more, yet play many more shooters on my ps3. Oh how the lines blur.!

Shooters have been and will continue to be popular in the future. The problem is the funneled spending habits in the west towards such genres in large consumerist nations like America. Companies like Microsoft don't make games for the sake of variety and testing them on a market. They will only invest in profitable games which of course will give the gamers a small library of games in the end. The era of cultured gaming is over essentially.
