The most anticipated games of 2008 are going to the Xbox? I didnt' realize that MS was getting the following exclusives:
Super Smash Brothers: Brawl
Metal Gear Solid 4
Mario Kart: Wii
Gran Turismo 5
The most anticipated game the Xbox is getting for 2008, GTA 4, is shared with the PS3. And the ones MS thinks are so anticipated, such as "", are about as anticipated as Killzone 2 -- that is, they're anticipated by the fanboys but not as much by the general public.
MS doesn't have the best lineup this year.
Gears of War 2
Fable 2
Banjo Kazooie 3
Halo Wars
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Tales of Vesperia
Grand Theft Auto 4 Episodes 1 & 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Cry On
Dead or Alive 5
Halo: Chronicles
Zero of those games are as anticipated as the four I posted above. GTA 4 episodes aren't highly anticipated. The game itself is. Halo Wars? Halo Chronicals? Please. I don't know anyone outside of fanboy circles who want that. Fable 2? That game is a joke even among the industry: Molyneux never delivers. Never.
Infinite Undiscovery? Cry on? The very fact that I haven't heard of these, and I follow games fairly closely, suggests these aren't the hugely anticipated games you'd like to pass them off as.
