Ahh, but I have an advantage over the traditional long jumper. Whilst most long jumpers simply hurl themselves at the ground, daring gravity to touch them - I create a series of logical steps for me to later walk over, allowing me to turn what would otherwise be a big leap into a series of small steps.

1) There is a MS 1st party working on multiple Microsoft consoles

2) Therefore, there is more than one Microsoft console on which to work, otherwise 1 could not be true.

3) I use the definition of console to rule out other platforms that the team could be working on.

4) I make the obvious assumption that they are not making an original Xbox game.

5) Thus they are working on a game for the 720.

5 easy steps. I have barely worked up a sweat, while the long jumper is wishing he had shaved his privates to reduce drag.

6) We assume that the amount of time between developers starting to work on 720 games is approximately the same as it was for the 360, PS3, Wii2 etc, all of which we know.

7) We go that far in the future from today and arrive at an approximate date.

8) We then take into account the sorts of months that companies like to release consoles in, and throw in a bit of uncertainty, the company could be just starting on the 720 game or they could be part way through.

Which of these steps seems big to you?

LOL It must've sunk in that they cant have bioware now. If they cant have bioware they need to find somewhere else in Canada close to gifted talent.

Devs got Wii 2 kits in August 2010, and given they plan to launch, at latest, Nov 2012? I doubt 720 dev kits are out right now. Probably August this year or early 2011, for a late 2013 launch.

Or I could be completely wrong.

Anyway, more 1st party studios, at least MS is acknowleding the problem and fixing it!

Microsoft Game Studios (Zipline Studios)
Feb 2010 to Present

at least this shows they are listening to their fanbase after a few years now but it does show us they listened to us by this

that was before they were acquired right? I read that they had made a game called Relic Rescue or something under that name but don't think it was for the 360. But you're right it can very well be that they had something going on the for the 360 before the official acquisition. I hope so, will make E3 even more interesting. New Game announcements are always fun

wait found this on Gamasutra

"Microsoft Game Studios has launched a web site for a new Vancouver location that is reportedly working on a "core" Kinect-based shooter for the Xbox 360."

So the word is it's gonna be a game for Kinect it seems unless they have multiple projects going on.

a core kinect shooter sounds amazing , i know big park their closes neighbor but just wish they wouldnt get resources from them joy ride was terrible lol

First good thing about MS in months. Not liking the idea of it being kinect only. Still should be awhile until its operational unless they are almost finished constructing it.

That's the way to go with Kinect, most third parties won't bother developing good core games for Kinect. If MS wants Kinect to attract core gamers, the worst thing to do would let third parties stamp Kinect controls on a Move/Wiimote game. I'm not saying third parties can't do good Kinect games, but they need to develop specificaly for it and most of them won't bother with the different motion setups.
