Well, the exclusive series( you can decide the best for yourself) on xbox are:
PGR
Halo
DOA
Unreal Championship(?)
and Top Spin(?).
Xbox's Mario is the Master Chief.
Xbox's Metroid Prime/ Killzone is Halo.
Microsoft is making good buisness, if they keep it up and Halo 3 is a success, Microsoft might have just won it by then.
Well you could add Gears of War to that list, but Unreal Tournament 2k7 is a PS3 title aswell as a Xbox360 game, Epic games have only made GoW an exclusive because the 360 is out first and had readily available dev kits for them to use over 3 years ago.

and UT2k7 also from Epic is on all formats because it is a kick ass PC title aswell as a next gen gamers dream.

You could have just said Halo, it would have been quicker.

To the emboldened type... yeah games do need sequels but its turning into the whole Final Fantasy thing which is already heading for its 12th freaking reincarnation... yes sequels are good up to a point but like the PS3 yes has some amazing titles but like none of them are adding something new oh except maybe some more fighters in the case of Tekken 6 and a visual upgrade, not really a huge incentive to buy, yes there will be sequels of the original 360 releases but atleast it will be adding to a reasonably fresh idea... like all of the PS3's sequels have been around since day one, PS1 11 years ago... getting bored yet? i know i am.
but how can you say that when you haven't played any PS3 games I agree with what taker said about a potential uproar if sequels were not made. you have to understand that sequels are made because of the fans. you rarely see a sequel made for an unpopular game. sequels are literally born from popularity and fan-fare, so obviously there are enough people who want sequels to continue to be produced. if you're bored of the same series, then thats your opinion, but besides that, its also hard work and takes longer to come up with a completely new game, as opposed to using a proven, exisitng background for a sequel.

Tekken shouldn't even be used in the argument because every fighting game in the existence of video games is guilty of being the same basic game, but thats just the nature of the genre. oh, and final fantasy has had only 1 sequel(X-2) in the entire "series." every game exists on its own and has nothing to do with any other.

re: XBOX 360 Will Die by next Year.

Gears of war? Well, if it will come out with some sequels, and make it an only for xbox series, it would be a premeire series on the xbox consoles.

Yeah the closest Gears of War will get to another machine is PC, which Epic say it won't but Bungie said the same about Halo, yet that is now on PC and Mac lol

but yeah Gears of War is the new kick ass baby of Epic games the guys behind the the franchise Unreal Tournament and is hopefully going to be the 360's main flagship game if Halo 3 isn't a sucess.

Oh and to Illmatic... i know this because all sequels are the same, once they get past their 3rd they generally get worse, i think the only game breaking that mould right now is Metal Gear Solid 4 and Splinter Cell 4, both atre aging their characters and sending them down different paths.

re: XBOX 360 Will Die by next Year.

I think the 360 will die by next year too. I just watchet a 5 min trailer of MGS 4 for PS3 and too me, the GFX look alot better than 360. Also in IGN, they has 2 articls, ones title PS3 Vs 360 and Nintendo Rev. Vs 360. 360 got beaten by both but thats just what anylists say.

IMO 360 will be overwhelmed by PS3 and Rev.

re: XBOX 360 Will Die by next Year.

ammad, from a pure hardware standpoint, the 360 will be as overwhelmed by the PS3 as the PS2 was overwhelmed by the original XBox. Did this mean that SONY was immediately ousted from the console business? Of course not. I might agree with you that the hardware edge could do Microsoft in, were it not for the fact that they are obviously in this console war for the long haul, not for the sake of getting their feet wet, so to speak. When a company like MS puts the kind of resources into a product, almost any product, it will succeed more often than not. The fact is that regardless of any technological edge that the PS3 will have over the 360, you should consider the fact that there is an advantage to being the FIRST of a particular generation, and that edge, of course goes to Microsoft. Not only that but the 360 is a high quality product, and high quality products, as a genital rule, succeed, regardless of the competition.

re: XBOX 360 Will Die by next Year.

Sony need to watch their dev's too. I mean if dev's see their contract (or however it works) coming to a close, or a new one offered is not as much as they want, then they might go ask MS how much they are willing to pay. I mean take a look at companies like rare, you could argue they made up for about 70% of the 360 launch lineup appeal with PD0 as the big one and supported by kameo.

So all I will say is that sony need to think how they can keep all the series/dev's that they have got without possibly paying stupid amounts of money to keep them.

re: XBOX 360 Will Die by next Year.

I think that, just like fans, developers become loyal to a particular platform and not just for the money. Lets take Rockstar for example. They have clearly stated that they enjoy making their GTA games exclusively for the PS2 (and now PS3) and only porting them over to the PC and XBox later on. I think that sometimes companies develop relationships over years and that becomes sort of like a friendship. Although, admittedly its different in business, because in the end, its mostly about the "bottom line". However, I think that a good deal of the developers that were loyal to Microsoft in the last generation of consoles, will stay loyal to Microsoft, at least with the titles that started out on the original XBox. The same is true for SONY and Nintendo. There are just companies that have a preference for programming on a particular platform, for whatever reason. Yes its about money too, maybe even more so, but don't underestimate the power of "tradition" in this discussion.

Oh I got it! How about this... <Drumroll please>

The Royal Pain in the Ass

  • This console would be a completely laid back and plain design, with no distinguishing marks whatsoever. All of the MP3's included on the HDD would either be Beatles, Monty Python Audio, or extremely emotionless expressions of distaste with American culture in genital.

  • It would play only British DVD's, since everyone knows that we Americans HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR.

  • The games would all consist of some variation of a re-enactment of the American Revolutionary War, where Britain wins and all of the so called "Founding Fathers" are hanged for treason against the Crown.

  • Since the Euro is more valuable than the US dollar these days, you would only be able to purchase the system with Euro's, no US currency.

  • Whenever you *bleep* up on a level in the game, you will be continuously taunted by a very proper sounding chode speaking in pure King's English telling you how worthless you are, and what a piss poor gamer you will only ever be.

  • US region games will feature custom tailored insults aimed directly at us, using words such as Yanks and Wanker and you will be laughed at for electing George Bush as President, even if you didn't vote for him.

    Fightstar are England's best band actually.

    Yo forgot that there would be different consoles/games for each social class. Such as I being of high descent will have and upmarket console whereas people such as Crispy will have a Burberry one. Oh wait, you american's wear burberry still LMAO!

    Chiro unlike you we have history before 1700's and we don't even make many game son it, you have like a few wars which you repeat in games/movies over and over. Oh and for the record WW2 started in 1939.

    Yeah um, tried looking up your family tree? You probably came from the Europe. In fact it's very likely.

    Besides, Britian rules, lets take a look at the launch.

    PGR3 - UK
    PDZ - UK
    Kameo- UK
    Burnout-UK

    Also, here's a company you'll like.

    Rockstar North, UK.
