its very well saying that MS have game x, xx, xxx all coming out that will be great games, but that hasn't helped them much in the past, or now. The expensive PS3 is selling well with virtually no games at all, while the 360 has lots and is the cheapest machine on the market (in the UK at least). If it was purely down to price and quality of games the 360 would have a massive lead over its competitors.
I'm sure when MGS, FF whatever, LBP, Home and whatever else is due is released sales will see a significant increase, NOT a blip in sales which we have seen with the majority of major events in the 360's history.
MGS4 will sell machines to new customers (me being one of them), GoW2 will sell to the same people that already own a 360 for GoW1.
MS need to break away from the over saturated 'dude' market they have spent the last 5 years targeting and provide more than crappy cartoon licences for everyone else that has an interest in gaming.
Offering PC games on console is a good idea for a while, but I am currently playing Orangebox, COD4, Bioshock and GoW on my 2 year old PC, which can be built reasonably cheaply now and anyone with a PC already can upgrade very cheaply.
As a fps fan, these 4 games would be the 4 main reasons to buy the machine.
As a cheap way to get high end PC games, the 360 is too old to be an advantage for that, especially as the majority of those games play better on a mouse/kb (at least in my opinion).
