I love how these poor 360 exclusive lists seem to pop up every year, and they are always proven wrong.  They useually just turn into PS3 exclusive list circle jerks.

The 360 will have its fair share of exclusives, and even if it doesn't have as many as the PS3.  The 360's exclusives useually sell a lot better so things even out if your looking at it financially.

I highly doubt the 360 just has Gears of War 3 and some average at best Kinect titles for 2011. Although I am with everyone who is guessing Left 4 Dead 3 and Mass Effect 3 (if they are 2011) would be on PS3 as well.

That said, I do think PS3 will have better games in 2011 than 360 though.

IMO that's always been the case with the 360's line up. More of the same, more of the same. Same old, same old. Been there, done that... Every year they release some of those regular titles, keep some of them for next year, add a few titles to the mix; and that's it, that's the line up for each year.

Gears

Halo

Fable

Forza

Mass Effect (no more ex)

L4D (I guess no more ex)

are the titles we hear about every year... And then they throw in the occasional other games like AW, Crackdown and SC, PGR and whatnot. If I were a 360 only gamer, I would be bored to tears by being given almost the same games to play each year. I would probably even stop playing games in general, because of the complete lack of variety in experiences provided. Let's take 3 of the biggest exclusives (at least here / on the net), Gears, Halo and Mass Effect. Even though they are very different in gameplay and are (imo) decent (Halo, Gears) - excellent (Mass Effect) games on their own, they all have these similarities and total lack of variation / "creativity" in certain aspects. Like they are all set in a space or including aliens, they all include gunplay, etc. There are so many recurring aspects in some of the games on the 360, and imo this total lack of variation between some of the games makes me not even look in the console's direction. Yes, there are certain games on the 360 that appeals/appealed to me, like Mass Effect and Alan Wake (could also mention Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Braid, Limbo, Castle Crashers, Rez HD, Ikaruga, Ninja Gaiden 2, Crackdown, Metro 2033, X-COM.. Maybe even SP:C), but most of these are not made by MS themselves and are bound to end up on the PS3 as well, like most of them already have.

 Microsoft has games coming out next year, but most of their in-house second party or third party titles are for Kinect. I know more 2012 exclusives on my fingers than I can account for Xbox 360 exclusives for the core in 2011.

You captured my sentiments. Thank you. :)

Metro 2033 isn't exclusive and NNN2 sucks. Microsoft really needs to beef up their exclusives in the quality department that aren't Gears and Halo. Supreme Commander is on PC and really that games sales will stem from the PC.

The sales of those franchises indicate that plenty of people like buying those games year after year, and tbh, it isn't fair to call Microsoft out for that, when Sony and Nintendo are doing the exact same thing for the forseeable future. I'm not going to go down the Wii and the PS3 future lineups, but you're acting like new IPs way outnumber sequels, when that isn't true at all.

Dude...I am concerned with the hardcore front for the 360 in 2011. You must remember....I am not a fan of kinect, but I wish Microsoft luck on it because it will definitely help their chances to increase installed base.

I've never complained about the 360 exclusive lists. 2011 is going to be the 360's weakest year ever in terms of hot hardcore exclusive titles. 2011 is essentially going to be the year of Kinect if you think about it.
