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.

And at the same time there are tons of retail games not worth $60. What games deserve what weight is personal opinion and in a discussion like this, that opinion is pretty irrelevant because all it does it highlight the agenda a person has. You're trying to say MS abandoned the 360 years ago, I bring up my GOTY so far being a title MS funded and bought the IP for and made sure its fanbase got it and you disqualify it with a "LULZ ITZ ARCADE TITL".

I don't really care what you tell people regarding the N64, the discussion was not about what is the best console. I am not saying one console is better than the other, or that one is supported better than the other. I replied to your tangent about MS abandoning their console and thought I would correct you, that's all. Whatever qualifiers and asteriks you want to add, it doesn't change the games I can play thanks to MS.

What a hilarious end to the reply, where you actually say you're being unbiased by selectively choosing which games are relevant or not.. based on your own personal bias. Thank you for that, LOL. Not going to bother replying to you more on this, toodles.

That's why when I mentioned games which Microsoft has published, I didn't include shovelware. I only listed quality games like Gears of War, and Halo.

I know everyone has personal opinion, that's why you need to make arguements with the general concensus. Microsoft releasing one low budget Arcade game is not enough to say that Microsoft didn't adandon the console. It's a low budget game, and you just can't give it as much weight as a high volume, well reviewed, $60 retail game. Just like I omited Nike+ Kinect on my list, I would omit this too.

I'm not sellecting games based on my personal bias, I'm selecting games on their review scores and public acceptance. Had I made a list of all the worthwhile exclusives on any console, there would be a few games which I would omit simply because the review scores were low and the game sold poorly, even if I loved it personally.

You saying MS didn't adandon the 360 because of a single low budget arcade game is like saying that microsoft added a cup of gas to the 360 car during the last couple years of the road trip. This is in comparision to Sony adding tank after tank, and even filling the car up after it's finished its trip with games like GT6 and Beyond.
