Is it just me or does Microsoft's line up look really weak? Besides Gears 2, those are all average at best. Haha. And Gears has to be better than Resistance 2 to even matter, which I really doubt.
But of course some people will believe them and say "WOW THATS AN AWESOME LINEUP!"
Who the hell buys a $200+ console for Fable or Banjo?
And we already saw how Too Human is fairing...Microsoft is knee high in crappy lineup right now. |
How many games do you buy a year? These are just some of the games coming out this year for the system and there are likely surprises at E3 (Rare, Lionhead, Mistwalker, Obsidian, Bioware, EA, and Bungie for example are all working on unannounced games for the 360).

Those games are either unproven, multi-platform, on PC, or will end up selling to the existing userbase while no one else will take a second look at any of them. Last year, when people were hyping up games like Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Lair, etc for the PS3, they caught all kinds of hell because they were unproven games, but now, the same people who were giving them that hell are doing the same things with games on the 360 that are no more proven than the ones on the PS3. GoW2 and GTAIV are the only ones worth mentioning as "highly anticipated," and the latter is on the PS3 as well. The gaming public at large could not care less about the rest of those titles. 2007 is the last year that the 360 will have had any advantage as far as software is concerned. |
You don't even know what other games Microsoft has that are unannounced. They already said they're saving some surprises for E3, TGS, and Leipzig. As for caring less about the other titles who knows what big hits might come out this year. Maybe there might be another Gears of War or Bioshock or Guitar Hero or whatever that takes the gaming World by storm and wasn't an eagerly awaited sequel. Look at Call of Duty 4, one of the best games of last year, it wasn't even announced until April 25th of last year and went on to be huge and it did sell systems (at least 2 of my friends bought systems after trying the game, I'm sure there were a lot more people who did as well). |
The chances of any game announced at E3 or later making it out by the end of year are slim to none.
As for your list, Cry On is a 2009 title, is it not? And Supreme Commander will be butchered on the 360 because of ram limitations (not that RTS isn't usually butchered on consoles for other reasons). The entire premice of SupCom revoloves around multiple 500+ unit forces duking it out on battlefields tens of kilometers wide.
