Retail games aren't lacking on 360 though. And I question how much you use your 360 if you didn't even know all XBLA games have demos. Either way you're a huge Sony apologist, that was the point regarding the comment about dismissing XBLA.

Actually, no, I am not a Sony apologist and I used to bash Sony for not making enough games when I first joined. When I got my PS3 it was a huge paradigm shift because there were much more games in 2009 than I thought that were out, they were just new IP's that werent marketed properly. Microsofts exclusives new IP's were never up to snuff unless they were being created by the top third party and if you dont see the trend here I dont know what to tell you. (1st gen: Bioware, 2nd gen: Epic, third gen: Crytek and...?) Unless third parties are doing a large part of the work for them their they dont continue on but less than a handful of names. I have no loyalty to gaming companies, I focus on the games. Yes, I will get on the case of companies whom are falling behind on game development and I will praise the companies that are doing what true gaming companies should, which is not cut corners and make games.

"Microsofts exclusives new IP's were never up to snuff unless they were being created by the top third party and if you dont see the trend here I dont know what to tell you."

Subjective. Because not all of us are as impressed with Sony's 1st titles as you. Its silly to say games like Halo 4, Forza, and Fable aren't "up to snuff." Great titles developed by MS's 1st party studio. Sony has also relied heavily on 3rd parties and sometimes buys the studios that actually make hits. I guess your gripe is MS isn't buying more studios?

I guess no praise for Sony this year.
