Soul Calibur is releasing at the end of July and that will definately carryover to August, we have Madden NFL coming out August 12th and Mercenaries 2 coming out at the end of August as well. So it should be quite a decent month for Multi-platform releases.
On the exclusive front we have two pretty good RPG exclusives coming - Tales of Vesperia and Too Human, which should help kick-off Microsofts RPG push towards the end of the year.
It will be interesting to see how well both games get reviewed and their sales should help telegraph the impact of future exclusives/multiplatforms such as Fable 2 and Last Remnant/FFXIII and we should be able to see if Microsofts targeting of the RPG genre this year is going to pay off for them in terms of software/hardware sales or if it looks like it will fall flat.
The sales of the Two RPGs should indicate somewhat whether Microsoft is having any success in attracting RPG fans to the consoles - so the relative sales of these two games and any changes to the rate of hardware sales should also indicate whether or not they are being successful at drawing new untapped market segments to the Xbox360.
Tease.
