You can look em up, but I myself remember that there were spikes for each of those 3 games listed. ME2 had a 360 bundle as well.

I remember that with Bioshock released, combined with a 2007 price cut, 360 sold more then PS3 in Europe alone, a first ever for the Xbox brand.

The games you listed...

Mass Effect 2 moved 30k consoles
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion moved 40k consoles
BioShock moved 20k consoles (more due the price cut)

I think we will see these boosts with these games even if they are multiplat... so the helf of timed exclusive is a little false to me.

Games help to sell consoles? Of couse but these timed exclusive means nothing.

Exclusives helps.

Bold is highly subjective. Think the hype and marketing (and the irritation to wait) would lead to higher system selling then if it was multiplat day 1. But agree to disagree.
