So a fair few titles for next gen by the look of things. I suspect Sony first party are in the same boat.

I've only heard of 4 of those studios. Rare, Turn 10, 343, and Lionhead. Aka, the only good ones, and even calling Rare good is pushing it.

To be fair, most of them are new and many haven't released any games yet, so it's too early to judge what the quality of their output will be.

This list simply shows that there will be some core next gen first party titles along with a fair range of casual, low budget and Kinect titles in the not too distant future.
