Fixed.
That's a fair point. Besides some PSN games (Dead Nation for one) and DC Universe it's hard to think of any new IP's within the past year or so. But their exclusives are so strong that they can keep iterating on them and people will still be happy for quite some time.
I couldn't disagree more. Exclusives are what drives someone to buying and ultimately keeping a system. If MS doesn't step up their game what point will there be to own a MS console next generation? If you could only buy one why wouldn't it be a Sony console? You get all the third party games and way more exclusives. MS only has Halo, Fable, Gears and Forza right now, although they are all strong IP's. Halo, while I think it will sell quite well obviously, I think has faltered significantly. I don't know a single person that still plays Reach consistently. Whereas people played Halo 2 and 3 until their hands bled. Fable 3 was apparently a HUGE disappointment and the Kinect game looks absolutely atrocious. Forza is Forza. Gears is the only exclusive that seems to get better with each game and who knows what is going to happen with that series considering the trilogy is "over".
Sony does have Starhawk in the immediate future, although I know it's technically iterating on Warhawk but it seems to be completely unrecognizable from that game. Plus I Am Alive is coming down the pipe.
