Forums - Microsoft Discussion - The 360's weakness is now its strength

mrstickball on 15 December 2007

About big Xbox 360 games next year:

Banjo Kazooie 3 (was confirmed that Rare has moved all their dev teams to get BK3 done ASAP)
Fable 2 (Fable 1 was a 3m seller)
Ninja Gaiden 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Left 4 Dead (console exclusive)
Halo Wars
Too Human
Alan Wake
Huxley
APB
Sacred 2


If you don't know the Xbox 360 lineup, it's because you don't know the system. As a X360 owner, I don't know half of the PS3 exclusives because I don't own the system. If you own the system, or care about games, you'll know whats there. Most, or all of those listed games will sell 1m+ copies



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wouldn't you agree that the 08 PS3 exclusives are far more widely known. Some of those games I have never heard of (Infinitve Undiscover, Left 4 dead, Huxley, APB, Sacred 2) but most of them I have heard of and have been received well. But they are not being hyped in the same way, or being thrown around on internet forums, they are not something that you are constantly being reminded of

@the original post: I think Xbox 360's game lineup was set to be different from Wii right from day one since they're targeting different demographics. Nintendo has never been strong in the violent video game department, and a system aimed at grandmas and little girls certainly isn't going to change that. Microsoft has mined the hardcore adult gamer market for a whole generation already...in fact it has arguably been mining that market for even longer on PC.


Er... you seem a bit confused.  Bod is saying the 360 is full of the shooter/racer/sports game crowd, and that those make up most hardcore gamers.  Not that those make up most adult gamers.

Very off-topic, but I have a feeling Too Human is going to be one of the biggest flops of the generation from both a sales and reviews standpoint.

Off-topic:

Would it be strange if I have the same feeling :P. I know some people dont want to hear it, but thats what its looking like right now.

Huxley isn't looking too bright either. The latest batch of shots have been looking very underwhelming, compared to the first screens shown.

Infinite Undiscovery looks cool though.

@Munkeh & mrstickball

Both versions of each game are performing well on both consoles. Now shut up, both of you lol.

Anyway, Im having a slight concern about the 360's upcoming year, and what it will be like. Especially now that X07 was cancelled which was the event where they garnered much attention to newly revealed games.

 My friend asked my what big games were coming out next year of the 360 and I did not know what to say. I could remember Alan Wake, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, but I couldn't think of much else. This is probably cause I don't have a 360 so haven't researched these games, but the PS3 has a much more hyped 08 lineup, you can't go anywhere without seeing something about LBP, MGS, GT4, KZ2 and the FF XIIIs


Yes all late 08 if they are lucky.........and FF 13 coming out in 08 has a what .01 percent chance (for states)

I could list all major ps3 games coming out next year, as well as 360 and wii.


Lol, dont start that delaying games shit dude. It was a genuine thought from my part.

I dont expect FFXIII to hit 2008, Im certain its a 2009 title. We'll maybe see some live stage demo of it at E3 or something but it ain't coming out 2008, and I dont expect it to. MGS4 will be there to keep us occupied.
