1) Yes. $100 by Xmas.
2) Yes. Both Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey before Xmas.
3) No. I like the Zune comment from Casuality.
4) Yes. MGS is gone finally and officially...
5) Yes. All are far enough along.
6) What about Alan Wake (Remedy has been really quiet for a long time) and Too Human (Dennis D. said Chapter 1 went to ESRB for rating) ship date / quarter?
The cool keyboard add-on ship date. (Out There Comment: And with it Browser support through the XB blades to make surfing with the XBox a reality)
Rare will be big with BK3, then Perfect Dark or Kameo and a Viva Pinata sequel. BK3 will shipfor Xmas this year.
Unveiling of the new Bungie IP (unrelated to Halo universe) for Microsoft Game Studios.
Two new Microsoft Game Studio game announcements that haven't been heard of or seen yet in addition to Bungie announcement.
New Shadowrun maps and enhanced single player.
Another major Gears of War update and maps. And annoucement of GoW for Xmas 2009. Maybe even a teaser...
Really out there comment: Microsoft will also announce the purchase of a major studio or publisher... Maybe Atari as they would be cheap and are stuggling and Microsoft's cash could turn them around as they have ideas but no means to execute. And the Atari name could be associated to future family content as it is a popular name among adults that have kids.
What is Microsoft going to announce to counter the momentum that Wii has (New controller or interactive add-on... More family friendly content... Maybe something totally new to go after the casual / non-typical-gamer market)?
What are they going to announce to go after the Japanese market more (Lost Odyssey is old news, Maybe a demoable Infinite Undiscovery or a bunch of new stuff altogether to change course)?
I also assume there will be more announcements about XBLA expansions much like the 3 new Sierra games stuff on Team XBox's site.
What about All Points Bulletin from Realtime Worlds? I assume Microsoft will publish it as was Crackdown. And a Crackdown 2 announcement. Expect MMO to be a major theme for XBox through XBox Live.
Good Things for XBox from 3rd Party:
Expect many and big 3rd party family-oriented announcements.
I think Lucas Arts, Ubisoft, Sega, and EA will show a larger than expected commitment XBox 360.
Saints Row 2 showings.
The Grand Theft Auto IV content that MS paid $50 Million for will be elaborated on. Expect some awesome new features for GTA on XBox. Maybe taking advantage of Live fully to make it more a MMO on 360? $50 Million is far too much just for basic content.
