Am I the only one becoming concerned about the number of (exclusive) titles MS have announced for this year?
Whenever I bring this up people always tell me that the exact same things were being said at this time in 2008 - but thats not strictly true, by this time last year we knew about ninja gaiden 2, fable 2, too human (with gears 2 heavily rumoured) - currently we know of......Halo 3: ODST, which isnt even a full game , oh and ninja blade (woo...). And with no GDC keynote this year to announce anything - So that leaves E3. Remember what "game announcements" we got at E3 last year? lips? you're in the movies? I think you see were I'm coming from.
Dont get me wrong I would love to be proven wrong at this stage - but here lies a fundamental flaw in MS's gaming devision. Whereas sony is getting its fans excited about the year ahead with streams of media on several games, MS is leaving their fans wanting. I've heard aaron greenberg talking in interviews about "underpromising and overdelivering"; well there isnt a halo or a gears lined up for this year, so they're going to have to SERIOUSLY overdeliver.
Many 360 owners will look at the 09 lineup for the 360, and look at the 09 lineup for the PS3, and may well end up picking the latter up. I'm sure this isnt what MS wants to happen.
