You know exactly what you're doing as others have pointed out in this thread, why don't you come back any make this thread after E3 if you dare.

is there giong to be that many games announced in july that nobodys knows about that will come out in 09?  90% of the 09 game release dates should be known by now no?

MS published 9 games between August and November of last year, we know of at least 2 for this year, so there's at least 7 other titles - probably more since MS 1st party grows 2-3 titles every year -either to have a confirmed date or just be announced flat out, so a majority of the 360s 2009 exclusive linup is still under wraps.

Odds are people like you, deep down, know this, so are fitting all their 360 "lineup" 2009 trolling into the 5 weeks before E3, because you aren't going to be able to pull these stunts afterwards.

I am so tired of these threads.

• Assassins Creed 2
• Bioshock 2
• Modern Warfare 2
• Halo ODST
• Forza Motorsports 3

are enough for one year and that is just what we know so far.

There is probably no PS3 game this year that might match Halo ODST saleswise but for whatever reason, PS3-Fans do not accept this as a game. "Just an Add-on" - talk is sooo stupid. This Add-on will sell more than any full game for the PS3 this year (GT5, if it gets a 09 release, and Modern Warfare2 are the only games that might have a chance) 

And there are games we already know they are coming out, maybe this year, maybe next like

• Alan Wake
• Splinter Cell Conviction
• Huxley
• Risen
• Mass Effect 2
• Gears of War 3

The Xbox360 has a bright future gamewise.

Indeed.

It looks like these months of poor sales performance has driven BHR-3 mad =/

Don't worry boy, some day Square will put games on your console.

Some day.

Actually, Microsoft only published 8 games in that time period. You're in the Movies wasn't published by Microsoft. Regardless, of those 8 Microsoft-published games that released between August and December, only three were not announced by this time last year. Those games were Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Scene It? Box Office Smash, and Lips. Not exactly AAA games by any standard. Your assumption that there will be "at least 7 other titles" announced by Microsoft for this year is quite comical in that regard since, taking into account that Viva Pinata was announced in May, Microsoft will only have 2 self-published games to reveal by the time E3 comes around if we're just going to compare this year to last year.

Of course, making guesses purely off of comparisons with last year is pointless both in your example and in my own. What matters is what Microsoft 1st and 2nd party developers will possibly have games ready by the end of the year.

That was funny...I know making the XBL avatars does not count as a game...But I'm sure it took so time..

.And as far as E3 goes...Major Nelson said on his twiiter that the games that MS will show at E3 are game projects that are far into the future...they are hinting at a lot...but we will have to wait for E3 to see...As for the dumbness of this thread...Really, everyone forgot the March NPD report..Really...No one remembers....Jeez..PS3 fans need to stop thinking that Japanese sales affect American sales

Not saying that I approve of the notion of this thread at all, but I just want to say there are absolutely TONS of games this year on the 360 to buy as it is already without an E3. There really should be less of this the-game-needs-to-be-exclusive-to-be-better attitude.

So anyway Im just posting the games Im very interested in and have potential to be big big sellers as well.
