Here are my top 5 key upcoming events that could help boost the console this year:

1. GTAIV - It's the biggest, and he who gets the biggest slice of the biggest pie will come away happy.

2. Jasper - RROD may not cost you any money... But it does hurt the consoles reputation a little. Getting rid of it with a 65nm GPU shrink could get quite a few people who've held off to purchase the console.

3. Gears of war 2 - Of course, it's the 2nd biggest exclusive franchise, but it's already made it's mark so it's not first.

4. Fallout 3 - Microsoft is almost certain to pick up over 3/4 of all gamers that buy a console due to this game. It's big too as well. Furthermore it's new blood to the console arena, and not just getting people who already own a console to buy it.

5. Splinter Cell Conviction - It's a big name in its own right, if they can pull off what they're planning then it could sell big.

Notable mention: Everything else, lots of good games that are exclusive+all the good multiplatform ones.

 If a multiplatform game is the biggest key events for 360, you can hardly call that optimistic.

Gears of War 2 should be top that list, with enough advertising, it will sell as well (maybe even better) than the first one. Although how can you top chainsaw on a machine gun?
