Core games or not they still sucked. They aren't investing in core games the way they should be.

Certainly making a better effort then Nintendo. 

But XBLA seems to be where they are taking risks with new content. Spelunky is a MS published game, coming out next week,  getting great reviews. 

You make it seem like it isn't a free PC game that came out 3 years ago. There is very little risk involved in this release. Microsoft didn't make this game they just changed the artwork and added multiplayer. Maybe there's more than that, but it doesn't look like it. Making new IPs is risky, this isn't. I like the game, it's great that its coming out on XBL, but its not taking risks and its not free on XBL. If you want to play Spelunky now go ahead: http://spelunkyworld.com/original.html

Doesnt change that its getting great reviews and its not available on PS3. Its a 360 win and a great game not available on the competition no matter how u slice it. 

I never contested the reviews, it's a good game. I didn't care about the exclusivity and I didn't try to make this about a "win". I didn't slice anything. Just addressing the topic of risk.
