Ofcoure xbox arcade is composed of casual / low budget gameslike the psn, yes. But also they are pushing the boundries of what you get for 15 bux.
And too say the best xbox games are third party is a matter of opinion, dont pass that on like its fact. My favorite games are Halo, Gears, Forza (not fable) and a bunch of others that are first party. MS takes many risks, just look at the entire Kinect Line up. Hundreds of thousands of people bought SW kinect (i was not one of them) and alot of people enjoyed. Those are not the types of people to head to an internet messege board and complain about the game or even go read a review on it.
Im not sold on Kinect by a long shot but i have to give them credit for trying to be innovative, Star wars kinect, Stell Battalion, Fable the journey, all games that are simply not possible without kinect. Whether they deliver is another story. atlast they took the risk.
I like what MS is doing with their portfolio. They want a Diverse Library of games. If xbox owners can get an experience witha multiplatform game, then why would MS go into development in a game of the same calibur and just keep it xbox exclusive. Doesnt make sense. there are so few original Ideas no a days, id rather them take there time and find a truly innovative product. (example being how MS was to purchase crytek and decided not too due to the fact they were working on crysis 2. Theydidnt need another sci fi shooter, they had halo)

I'd say Nintendo and the 360 have the highest quality JRPG's under their belt exclusively from third parties in the Last Story, Xenoblade and Lost Odyssey. Wouldn't you say so as well? Isn't Gears a high quality game or even Alan Wake for that matter? Mass Effect or even Dead rising? You don't think those games are even on the top ten of Microsofts exclusives list? Ok fine...Left 4 dead, Witcher 2. Imo third party made exclusives are not only the lifeblood of the 360 but were also the lifeblood of the original Xbox thanks to Bioware. Less risk for Microsoft by publishing or buying games hot companies they don't own. Halo itself was in production before Microsoft saw it and took it from Apple. Bungie wanted Apple to buy them, but they didn't so Microsoft scooped them up immediately after Steve Jobs said no.
