The author of the article is right..Kinectimals is going sell Kinect alone for all the families who own the 360 and have young ones in the house..
Everyone is complaing that Microsoft went after the casuals..but look at ALL the MOVE games released in 2010 and they are all casual too. The fact that you can use Move as an alternate control device for Heavy Rain doesnt make it a Move title..
It's all about the Wii Sports copies and supplying thwe casual ...
I agree with Razted above..
If you take away PSN and PSP from this list it's clear Sony is betting the farm on Move + casual games and finishing the year off with Gran Turismo..
I say this ALL the time..Sony NEVER maximizes their lineup in the second half to maximize sales of it's big exclusives..
Look back at 2009..
I bought Uncharted 2 day one like many PS3 owners and it colected all the big rewards
...
I can't WAIT for Reach..but I would never grab this one..
It's all bout the midnight launch and the excitement for me..
Every 360 gamer I know is talking about this game..most of us are plotting not being at work for the next 3 days after the Sep 14th launch..
The BIG ban is coming..can't wait to see all the spiders Microsft catches this time..
It's so good to be a gamer these days..I salute the real g...
However, when one is considering buying an HD console and looks at what is and isn't available on each console it MAY have an impact
I completely get the point..but if you put it that way then the 360 wins in this case because you can only get both ME games on the 360..
The choice..Mass Effect 1 & 2 for 40 dollars on the 360 right now
or wait till January for only one game for 60 dollars
Continouus saves throu...
Timed ports to the PS3 just havent sold as well..but the one better ones do a about 50%..Bioshock was the example I used..because it was the biggest based on the success the game had on the 360
But you have duds like F.E.A.R. to Elder Scrolls which did 3 Million on the 360 and 1.3 million on the PS3 as a timed exclusive..
Mass Effect 2 sales on the PS3 will be interesting..but a million might be tough..only time will tell..it'll either do well and go Elde...
If you don't think ME2 going to their biggest competitor doesn't concern MS, you're delusional. 360's game line up is so boring I can't even know where to begin.
LMFAO @ at you pretending EA bought Bioware yesterday..
Look you can keep it fan kid all you want..call Microsoft's line up 'boring etc etc..lol
The 'delusion' is pretending that Mass Effect going multi-plat is the nuclear bomb that destroys...
LMAO @ listing 360 games that are coming out this year and then listing PS3 games that wont even be here for over a year and a half
The 360 fans got two Mass Effects games and over a year later the PS3 fans will be blessed with the same game..period
Nothing else changed..except BOTH 360 and PS3 fans get Mass effect 3 a year and a half to TWO years later..
LOL..at pretending 360 fans are actually twiddling our thumbs waiting around sayin...
Wow..if they pull that off..other than Eden and sports..that's the game of the launch
Let's keep it 100% real..
ME2 going to the PS3 was announced by Geoff K. on Game Trailers BEFORE it even launched on the 360...
The game was absolutely amazing and it is actually a great thing that it went multi-plat..Bioware deserves to benefit from more sales that the PS3 will bring..
But this doesnt affect 360 owners one bit..other than Bioware is getting more money to make the final game of the series the best it can possible be...
I've been calling a million plus pre-order forever...
All along I've said..Reach will break all records..MW2 was simply an indication of what the 360 install base could accomplish..
But wait till they get a load of what the first true Halo game since Halo 3 is about to be unleashed upon us..nothing will come close
Bungie went absolutely bezerk and created a game that we might be playing for the next four years straight
...
My Day one Kinect game..The E3 demo on stage looked amazing..can't wait to play on my 65inch HDTV with the surround sound blasting on high..
Eden FTW..

LOL @ people not allowing the man to collect a paycheck. He's an established voice actor..Uncharted is his most successful role..but why should he be used in as many games as he can.
It's like a Hollywood actor doing multiple movies..do you hear people saying that they are 'overused' every new film?
When people watched Toy Story did people hate on Woody because Tom Hanks had been a huge amount of films?
Both Uncharteds ...
'the only thing i dissagre with in your post.
GT5P pushed nearly five million and that game came out three years ago when the install base was not great.'
And I am not arguing that number..but look at ALL the numbers out there and you may understand where I'm coming from
Look at the last two console GTs
PS2's GT4 had an install of 100 million and sold 10.55 million
- GTP 1st week..650K
'Hate to break it to you, but GT5 is the biggest game exclusive to one console this year. In terms of overall, I'm pretty sure COD:Black Ops (as much as it shouldn't) is bigger than Reach'
LMFAO..hate to break it to you..keep dreaming..I've been saying this for over a year..Reach will even break Halo 3 records..and that was before we actually saw how amazing it is
GTA 5 will be huge..and it will be inside my PS3 Slim day one..but this ...
LMFAO @ the haters screaming gloom and doom over the ALWAYS low key Gamescom..
Why would you announce anything at this point when you are in the drivers seat..
Halo Reach is THE biggest game on the console this year..and it's coming in less than a month..Gamescom is another great opportunity to showcase it
The other priorities Microsoft should be promoting is the new re-model, Kinect, Fable 3, and Gears 3..period
...
LOL @ trying to make money from what we have been doing with our movies and music on our 360s and PS3s since day one..
Absolutely LOVE the media capabilities on my 360 and Slim...plus Netflix and Zune HD complete the package..I'm in movie heaven
side note..the PS3 'PLANET EARTH' screen saver while playing music is my all-time fave..
Evil
Huge Lost fan..but wow..that's an amazing match..
Always thought a M.E. movie would cost a 100 millionn if done right..hope it gets a great budget..
On the flip side I wish Bioware could do a Serenity game..

Halo 3 was the best midnight launch of all time..
I don't do Best Buy..I'm Gamestop all the way for my launches..
The best part is just the comradarie of true gamers gathered together in anticipation of the biggest game at the time
Most games arent even worth it and I'll usually wait till the next afternoon to pick my copy up...
But the Halo Reach launch is going to be is going to be bananas..
...
The only thing that was missing from E3...
I own Ico and honestly I'm cool with the upgrade and all..but Shadow HD would be absolute gaming HEAVEN...
Even if they don't show the old games..
Last Guardian new trailer + release date For The effing win!!!

Achievements are easily one of the best console moves from the Microsoft camp of ALL time..
The #1 reason why I never buy multiplats on the PS3
The #1 reason we suffered through the Veteran levels of Call of Duty 2, 3, 4, and MW2 etc..
The #1 reason I rarely trade my games back to Gamestop (achievement potential)
The #1 reason why this gen's replay value has dwarfed every gen before it
