Man you guys all argue so much about what is and isn't a game that I wonder if you actually ever play any...
The big games of Q4 are not exclusive (with perhaps the exception of Halo). They are the same big games as were big last year, and the year before. FIFA, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed etc.
Exclusives are nowhere near as relevant as they used to be and to be quite blunt, this generations sales confirm that. People just want a machine where they can play all their mainstay 3rd party franchises.
Being the best place for the big name 3rd party titles is the system that will sell the best too the mass market. Exclusives are the coin toss for the undecided.
Exclusives have their place, and are great, but there hasn't been an exclusive since Wii Sports and Wii Fit that really drove the market in a particular direction and a big factor in them causing impulse buys was a very cheap cost of entry.
