How does Sony have two huge first party FPS this fall and MS have 0?

Once again for perhaps the hundredth time. Neither Microsoft or Nintendo has been all that forthcoming with their releases later this year. Both are sure to have surprises for us over the coming months. Sony on the other hand was backed into a corner, and was basically intimidated into throwing everything they had at the market they laid their cupboards bare as an attempt to keep up with a situation spiraling out of their control.

Microsoft has plans, and Nintendo has plans. We don't know what those plans are, but judging by your apparent ignorance your going to be floored by them. You really think that Microsoft isn't going to have at least two AAA FPS style games by the end of the year? You really think that Nintendo won't have a Starfox, Kirby, Waverace, or Pilotwings. I think Nintendo can swing at the very least four of their best franchises into place for this coming fall and winter.

Right now its a game of whats in the box. You surely don't know. Neither does anyone else. Your basically saying that Microsoft and Nintendo have empty boxes. Something tells me they don't its hard to imagine they have no plans for the second half of this year. They aren't just going to lie down for Sony. They are going to bring big guns. I can't wait for the unloading personally. I think Microsoft is going to bring some real heat at the GDC, and both them and Nintendo are bound to have big E3 press events.

 I dissagree with your theory here.

There are games, then there are console defining huge exclusive games.

You can not ignore the fact that Both Nintendo and Microsoft have already put out huge huge games.

Games that would have possibly competed with Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Killzone, Resistance. .etc.. 

 

Of course Microsoft and Nintendo will have new game announcements in the coming months,(as will Sony) and they will get hyped over time and become huge sellers all the same.

But Sony is yet to release their equivilant of Halo or SMG, can you recognize this fact? 

And Sony will show up at GDC, E3 just as big as the others. With new games, and with news regarding their big guns.

Even though this thread is flame bait in its purest form, the fact still remains that As of right now Sony has the upper hand, (as far as the OP topic is concerned)

 

I do agree with the basic concept that no one would see it coming if Microsoft announced an exclusive rare shooter though. Even this would have to climb the mountain of hype that is SONY.
