MS has found plenty of third party games and some will definitely be apart of the 15 exclusives at E3 for sure. Geoff Keighley has said we are going to be blown away by MS and Sony offerings at E3. MS has never really gotten down the rhythm of long lasting game development and game options. In their first gen they shared exclusives with PC, it was terrible to argue for why someone should game on console full time when MS was doing that. 

I'm hoping that it isn't the case, but it probably is. Timed exclusives aren't good for gamers.

? They are certainly good for the gamers that own the 1st console that gets it.

When someone buys a timed exclusive they are paying for something that is a negative for the owners of the other console, rather than a positive for their own. It doesn't affect the owners of the 1st console as they would get it anyway.
