Sony doesnt like to dumb down their product. Too prideful of a company, truthfully. My money says if the Eyetoy was a commercial hit Microsoft would've never purchased Primesense. 

Well at the end of the day that is all just what ifs.  You should go talk to that guy )Dannesandin I think is his username) who does the what if threads and tell him he should do a thread "What if the eyetoy was successful" or ask him if you could do that thread.  I would do it but I wouldn't feel right making a thread when he has already planned a series of threads like that.

If a Halo remake lets me shoot the OP pistol and run people down in a Warthog in photo-realistic graphics, I'm there.

Sounds boring, but I guess we'll have to see what the new IPs actually look like. I really think I'm going to skip out on the Xbox next gen, which is funny since I got a lot of play out of my 360 and the original competes with the Gamecube for my most played 6th Gen system.... but Fable isn't what it used to be, neither is Rare, and I don't care for Halo. With that said, I don't see what advantages it could possibly have over my PC, but hey, maybe they will wow me.

This is the first Gen were I feel like I already know what I'm going to do console wise; I'll pick up a PS4 after the first slim model- if their first party can impress me again. I already have my Wii U because I know I'll want to play Nintendo's first party. Beyond that, I'll probably stick to PC, which is a safe bet since most big third party releases are by Western devs.

Too early to think this way I guess....

If it had an active online community and no massive changes besides updated visuals I'd actually get the nextbox and a subscription to live just to play it again.

Let me phrase it like this then.

I don't think the Halo game that launches the 720 is a remake. There could be one besidees the new game, but I won't belive they're launching a new system with a remake.

well for a mixt audience I think MS is the master of ceremony on that one.... instead of launching a complete product with full option at launch.... they do stages and the trend looks like it will go on next gen with several elements on top of the box that could be released several years into the console life cycle, like Kinect 2.0, or the AR glasses.... nobody said those concept were releasing at launch or cancelled.... and it is rather smart...... you let Nintendo cater to the casual beginning of gen.... you sell your console to core gamers for a couple years build a reputation of a powerful device then you cut your price several times drop in a new more casual accessory and the casual that have a really short attention span in general jump in.....
and it is also an excellent approach for devs... that can iron their technic on big titles at the beginning, then work hard on new IPs or the one that paid of by just doing little spec bumps every iteration and throw in the mix a bunch of cheap titles for casuals... cause even a stellar looking casual game requires less work or resources usually than an FPS or a strategy game or games for core gamers.... so it's a win win approach for the entire production line of the video game industry that MS is using.... that's why that line up is more something that make sense than a rumor.... I bet you a ton of new IPs or unannounced games are in the pipe line... those are just the most likely title to arrive within a year of launch.... and who knows the halo remakes might be 3D or with Kinect support or both or even AR glasses who knows....

but I could have told you about those title 5 years ago for the most part without taking to much risks...... now the title I can't wait for is the new bungie title Destiny.... looking at what leaked it is a perfect title for XB....

They have become precitibale? They have been around for 2 gens and now there is a patern to them?

Anways even if they do drop their new titles down to 3 or 4 that will give them

Halo

Gears of War

Fable

Forza

Alan Wake

Last gen.

Halo, PGR, Fable,- insert third party exclusive from a PC company -(Bioware PC multiplats). Depend on third parties for the rest.

This gen.

Halo, Forza, Fable- Insert Gears second party from a PC company- Depend on third parties even more than ever.

They probably have the exclusive Bungie game as their primary title for launch. It seems it has been about 6 years in the making so there is a very good chance they could have another Halo for launch.
