Forums - Microsoft - Microsofts Strategy: Release legions of awesome games within 5 months?

OP

you gave yourself your solution in your last sentence. Releasing a bunch of "good" games in a short period of time only sabotages individual game sales. The development companies then won't make a profit, and then....well....goodbye 360 as a viable platform for big budget games.

Halo 3, COD4, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, GH3, Rock Band, and Orange Box say Hi.

Being multiplatform is irrelevant. But where is your proof that all those games sold better on 360?

ToV is AAA?

Star Wars: TFU?

Fallout 3?

And most importantly, Sonic unleashed!?!?

Your score for AAA is a metacritic of what, 46?

Fallout 3 is easily going to get above 90% on the majority of reviews.
