They won't drop Reach and Gears 3 in the same season.

This.  They're already sure-fire hits that'll make at least 5 mil, they're gonna keep Gears 3 back (or should) 'til 2011, which is pretty good is terms of more time to polish among other things.


I would not be so certain. You have to remember, pre-E3 anyone whos anyone would have said that 2009 was the Halo game year and 2010 was the Gears 3 year. Gears 3 in 2010 was logically and naturally, expected. It's Bungie who surprised us with Halo Reach, which people did not expect to see and so it's altered peoples expectations somewhat.

So logically it could be 2010 or 2011, depending on other factors and by that I mean Xbox 3, if Gears 3 comes 2010, Xbox 3 will be 2011, but if G3 is pushed back to 2011, then 2012 for Xbox 3 would seem likely. They wouldn't launch Gears 3 & new console in the same year.

 

 


Why not? Gears 3 would be an epic launch title. (However if Natal is a success at selling consoles I would not expect the xbox 3 that early.

I think 2010 might be the 360 last year. So MS is going all out. And you left out left4dead 3.


yeah you are probably right. They release additional hardware (Natal) in October just to drop support in January. -.-

 

But even though I know you don't have one, what is the reason for this assumption?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Microsoft would not let their 2 best games compete so Gears 3 will release Spring 2011 i think.

like a slim? So PS3 slim is the end of PS3?

or like PS3 for the PS2? So the PS3 was the end of the PS2 in 2006?

I have to agree with you on one part - that would be a HUGE line-up. I just doubt that it will happen basically on the grounds that it would be too huge. MS has to know that if you release a bunch of titles at the same time they will cannibalize each other. I still expect 2010 to be a really great year to be a gamer (especially compared to 2009) but I expect there will be at least a few delays simply to spread out the release schedule.

Natal isn't really inherent to Xbox 360 though, it's just a USB based peripheral for motion control. Even if all Xbox 360 development stopped 1 year after Xbox 3 launch, Natal could still be sold for the same purposes for Xbox 3, as long as it had a USB port (pretty much a given).
