Forums - Microsoft - Current Xbox-affiliated franchises

So I did a thread on franchises housed on Nintendo systems and I thought, "eh why, not?", and decided to do the same for franchises on Xbox systems. To be considered on here, the most recent/future entries of a series must be Xbox exclusive. For fairness compared to my Nintendo thread, I consider 2011 release as recent. There must be at least 2 unique games in a series for it to make the list. It doesn't necessarily have to originate on Xbox, nor be a first party series, just any series where at least 2 of the most recent, unique entries are Xbox exclusive as of 2011. PC and mobile ports don't disclude franchises here for no particular reason. Note, this is not meant to be a troll thread, nor is it meant to stoke any fanboy wars or what have you, I made out of innocent curiosity.

Xbox

1. Halo

2. Fable

3. Forza

Xbox 360

1. Gears of War

2. Kinect

3. Dance Central

4. Crackdown

5. Pinball FX

6. Splosion Man

7. Alan Wake

8. State of Decay

Xbox One

1. Killer Instinct

2. Max

So 12 total. I miss any? Thoughts or Questions?
EDIT: I forgot, here's my others for comparison:

2. Sunset Overdrive



Xbox: Blinx, Fuzion Frenzy

360: Viva Pinata

If Killer Instinct is on there I'm assuming old IPs can be included is so you can add games like Banjo for 360.

None are current. The last Viva Pinata was 08, Frenzy 07, Blinx 04, and Banjo 08. Must be 2011 or later

The Xbox games don't count since they were individual games not franchises. And Viva Pinata doesn't count since the last 2 games weren't Xbox exclusives (there was a DS release).

Banjo hasn't had 2 new releases exclusively on Xbox has it?

Blinx and Fuzion Frenzy got sequels.  But it looks like non of them count.

Blinx and Frenzy both had 2 games. Banjo has not had 2 Xbox releases.

I already looked through that, and most of those are either individual games, told old to count, or PC only.

EDIT: And I didn't see your edit. :P

Here's hoping they add to their catalogue more this gen. Already off to a good start with Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Scalebound, etc.
