Youre forgeting something called Gears of War which was the reason many people bought a 360, including me.
Also, MS owns the Halo IP, Bungie or no Bungie, its not very far-fetched to predict that MS will continue massaging this IP.
Mass Effect publishing rights is still owned by MGS, so unless some money changes hands, its still 360 exclusive. BioShock seems more likely to go multiplatform as with 2K, no one knows whats happening anymore.
And let me just say that at the end of amazing 2007, this same argument was put forward. Everyone said, oh look 360 has no more big guns after 2007, and then Gears 2, Fable 2, NG2, Banjo 3, Tales of Vesperia, Too Human have already set up 2008 for 360 owners. Its not going to stop anytime soon.


 Sure, they still own the IP's, but you need a top of the range studio to develop the game. And MS needs AAA devs to make them exclusive games. If they don't get developers on Halo 4 and Mass Effect 2 NOW, then they can forget about releasing them in the Christmas '09 period.

Bioware is developing Mass Effect 2 duh, and Wingnut Interactive headed by Peter Jackson is developing Halo: Chronicles.

And yes, Gears of War 2 is a big gun.

But Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable didn't shift many units.

Fable sold 2.6m on XB. Thats more than the latest SOCOM and Tekken did on PS2. NG2 admittedly is not a super seller, but if you have been following the media, its going to be a great exclusive game, one that would help PS3 Japan's fortunes.

Banjo 3: Rare hasn't made a realy good game since its N64 days (the old Rare guys all work at Free Radical Design now, and are making Haze)

So the only way left to go is up.

And seriously, if you have to use names like Tales of Vesperia and Too Human to prove  you got a good end-of-year line up,  you ARE in trouble.

I dont see how this is an argument when people are using LBP, White Knight or Afrika in their PS3 argument. These are all new IPs which are meant to extend the base of console owners.
