'I'm being sincere here. It could mean that MS may stop putting so much focus on Kinect titles and shift it's attention to core games more.'
Why is it so hard to contemplate that MS can have a motion control peripheral and support the casual audience and still put out it's biggest core titles like they have just like Sony and Nintendo?
Sony released the same casual titles for Move and we already know what Nintendo...
Love Halo 4's Campaign. Love Spartan Op. Bumgie edges them on what came with Reach day multi on day one.
Halo 4 is finally catching up by adding Grif Ball and other faves.
But the difference maker is Spartan Ops continues episodically which is essentially having an on-going campaign.
Far from a disappointment especialy the campaign.

Kinect is an overall success. It's stil being bundlesd with the 360 and of course the longtime rumor has been it will be bundled with the 720.
Sony will also keep Move as a part of it's strategy and is rumored to be bundling a Move controller in each PS4.

We know how when somone pins you in on an argument you just make new ones and derail the original argument.This will go on and on and on.
Here are YOUR arguments..your words..
About NEW Ips:
'Maybe if more NEW IPs were released, we'd see more of them selling. You pretend people aren't interested in NEW exclusives, but what new 360 exclusives have there been to be interested in? Just Dance? Kinect [Insert gen...
I am not offended at the ads, just the fact it's ads on a paid service and the usual suspects will keep defending it.'
Bingo..none of the 'real' usual suspects are offended by ads at all. But you know why they make comments pretending they are..

I heard that Major Nelson interview on Gamertag radio after this was anounced weeks ago and he already said there will be no 'more' ads outside of the little optional box that says 'advertisement'.
Nothing else promotes anything that is not a part of Xbox Live.

'Of course you would take issue with common sense, and of course it's all to defend Microsoft, rather than respond to the actual point of my comment about gamers' interest in new IPs'
I simply pointed out that MS is approaching this gen the same as Sony. But see how you need to take shots first. Now if I take shots back then we know who will cry wolf, so I'll keep to what you have used about IPS out of your own mouth.
FIRST you say:
@ Nukeitall
I disagree in saying that there are people who don't want exclusives. But, definately agree that just because a game is exclusive or it's a new IP that it's somehow more anticipated or received by the gamers simply for that fact.
Ezz is right that there were people that blew off XBLA games every year. But after Walking Dead and Journey those games are finally getting love.
'You pretend people aren't interested ...
As a gamer that's owned both the original giant and the 360 at both of their launch windows, I actually believe MS is in it's best position to deliver the goods than they ever have been.
MS is in the driver's seat of it's own destiny at this point.
Xbox Live is going to be huge for the early adopters. MS just needs to keep improving it at the same clip that they have this gen.
EVERY system relies on it's go-to franchises ...

What's wrong with only defending Sony? You do realize that you only defend MS right? Am I allowed to call you a hypocrite and all sorts of other names? '

The rumored Specs aren't going to determine the winner at sll.
In the case with the 720 I believe that Xbox Live will be a huge factor in the early success of the platform.
I know I wouldnt give up all that I have attained this gen on my 360 account for ANY game on any console now, there is no way I would do it next gen either.
Being able to still play COD, Halo, Gears, Forza, GTA V, Bungie's Destiny across both consoles over Live a...

I love Pachter. The entertainment value he brought to gaming has been a blast to watch.
But, he's definately eaten his lunch quite a few times.
The greatest thing about Pachter was hiswrong Wii HD prediction was really the one that gave him his fame.
The irony is that had Nintendo launched a Wii HD a few years ago, it would have been a massive hit. We all would have bought one and it may have extended the Wii's life at the top a c...
LOL @ Diver..
I love when my posts got these random profiles from hypocrites who clearly defend the PS3 on post after post, but try to call out others because they can't stand MS.
I could care less how many Sony goggled profiles like yourself see me. I'm gaming fan period. If you honestly think that I or anyone on a gaming forum doesnt have a life because they love this hobby then you are delusional.
Here is the facts, if I was in eve...

LOL..Exposing who? I know exactly what I wrote and reposted it. Why? Because that's what I thought they would do 378 days ago. And at the end of the day, they STILL showed the 720 behind closed doors and a STILL releasing it THIS year, like I said.

Lol..Halo 4 is confirmed as the fastest selling Halo in Franchise history. Its at 7 million and will probably outsell Reach. It will be a staple on Xbox Live until the next one arrives.
Show me all the hardcore exclusives out there that have outsold it in the same amount of time since Reach and show me an exclusive this year that will outsell it in 2013. You won't. In fact there won't be actual games that will outsell the total of what it will pull in 2013 alone. You...
@ Nathan
Are you really going to pretend that Kinect prevented that one major core title from releasing? It didn't.
It wasn't MS that led the holiday with Wonderbook, Little Big Planet, or a Super Smash Bros game. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that lineup.
But let's be real, those are casual experiences. Had MS had the same lineup and a game like Wonderbook getting major time at E3, I guarantee Nathan and many other w...
