Like you I will probably pick up an X1 very late on to play some exclusives. Not much really draws me to the console.

There will be stuff, Halo should be worth $20 end of life, even if there are 4 or 5 different Halo's. Forza's are pretty good, and I'm sure MS will get more exclusives which aren't also available on PC.

I like all the badges you can earn in Forza 4 that is one of the main reason I like it better then 3 it has so much more replay value to unlock all the badges will take forever.  The manufactures achievement was actually pretty easy to get took me a little over 30 hours to get using Peugeot's.  Plus on top of that Forza 4 has a better selection of cars then 3 and a better variety of diffent type of races.  The AI in Dead Rising 1 is pretty dumb but it got a lot better in the second game and in the 3rd game the survivors will actually help you out in the game.

Yea, but there is 1 achievement which requires you to get to lvl 50 with 1 manufacterer, so it kinda forces me to drive Ferrarri's all the time just because there is variety on every performance index.

I just hate upgrading cars, I hate how FM4 makes it mandatory in order to compete. Makes the game feel like an Arcade game instead of a sim.

What I really miss is Project Gotham Racing. I know that was an arcade game, but damn, it was ahead of its time. In car view in 2005, ice and hail which no other game has yet. Plus the selection of cars is great, I don't think GT or Forza have an Ariel Atom yet, but PGR had it in PGR4.

As for Dead Rising, sounds great, but before I get excited about 3, I want to beat 1 and 2 first. As it stands, I have too many games, DR3 isn't enough to get me excited about a new console. Actually very little makes me want a new console, PS3 is getting more new games then next gen consoles, so I'm not ready to jump ship just yet (Drakengard 3, GTAV, Tales of Xillia 2, New Atelier game, Disgaea D2, Dark Souls II, etc, etc).

Only next gen game to wow me, and push me to get a new console so far is X for Wii U, and when it releases I will get a WiiU.
