Original Xbox would have been a fart in the wind if not for Halo being a full exclusive(for 22 months anyway). That game was a huge system seller much like Super Mario 64 sold Nintendo 64s. Exclusives are needed to entice gamers over.

I agree. And 2 years of exclusivity may be the sweet spot. That way Microsoft shows their commitment to the Xbox brand and at the same time supports their Windows platform with highly optimized ports (2 years of optimization). Additionally, they should create original PC exclusives of course like they did with Age of Empires (Ensemble Studios), Black & White (Lionhead Studios), Zoo Tycoon (Blue Fang Games/Frontier Developments) and Flight Simulator (Aces Studio).
