Best game I have played this year is State of Decay, a new MS IP exclusive to the 360. People who think MS abandoned the console just need to open their eyes. |
That's not even a retail game, lol. Even when you talk about Arcade games, the best Arcade game ever made IMO was Shadow Complex, but I hear Journey for PS3 is really good.

I don't know, I guess I am old fashioned but I play video games based on the games, not silly qualifiers. I have put more time into State of Decay from the XBLA than any retail game I have bought this year, though Last of Us will eclipse it eventually just due to MP. The bottom line is it's a game MS secured, bought the IP, and published it for their console.

Well, good for you, but in general an Arcade game should not be given the same weight as a retail game. I loved Shadow Complex, but I would never pay $60 for it.
Every now and then there will be an arcade game, or a niche retail game, which is really loved by a small group. I mean, I still play Mario Party 2, but would I tell people that N64 is better then PS1 just because a game I specifically like is on it? No.
It's called being unbiased when comparing games, arcade games just aren't to the same level as a AAA retail game.

Microsoft abandoned the 360 years before replacing it? |
Yup.
What did Microsoft release of 360 in 2013? A crappy Gears of War game, which is really bad compared to the original trilogy, and not even developed by Epic. Plus a remake of a game which is playable on the 360. So 1 game
2012 - 1 Halo game, 1 very short, Forza game, developed by a different studio. So 2 games. +Kinect Star Wars +Dance Central 3 +Kinect Rush +Fable: Journey +NikePlus
2011 - Gears 3, A remake of another game playable on the 360, Forza 4 - So 2 games +Kinect Sports Season 2 +Kinect Disenyland Adventures +Dance Central 2 +The Gunstringer
2010 - Fable, Crackdown, Halo - 3 games +Kinect Sports +Kinect Adventures +Alan Wake +Ninety Nine Nights 2 +Kinectimals
2009 - 2x Halo, Forza, a JRPG, and Race Pro - 5 games +Halo ODST +Halo Wars +Ninja Blade
2008 - 8 games
2007 - 6 games
Yea, 2011 - 2013, 3 years, saw as many games as 2009 and earlier and prior saw annually. If not less, kinda neglected.

Compare that to PS3 which is seeing what 4, 5 exclusive games this year? A couple releasing around the same time the PS4 is launching?
It's worth remembering that Sony will support their next gen system until it stops selling and becomes obsolete. It's stupid punishing Sony for supporting their PS3, something PS3 owners are grateful for. PS4, like PS3,2, and 1, will get the most exclusives per generation. Just wait, don't punish Sony for not being done with the PS3 yet.

Made your list a little bit more complete. Remember, those are all exclusives. Just the ones PUBLISHED BY MS.
Lots of XBLA games missing, Lots of 3rd party games missing (The Witcher 2 e.g.)...
But keep it coming!

So....shovelware on Kinect makes the 360 a good system? You realize 3/4 360 owners do not own a Kinect, and a Kinect peripheral cost more then a Wii system which has 40x as much shovelware. 
Also Witcher 2 is available on PC, we're talking about exclusives right?

He did say "2x Halo" didn't he?
One would be hard pressed to call that compelling sofware outside of Alan Wake.

Exactly, this guy is hilarious.
