Perfect Dark Zero is the only title that catches my eye. The other ones I am interested in are all coming out for the PC. If this list is the true lineup, I'm not so sure I'll be picking up a xbox 360 at launch. What happened to Gears of War? If Microsoft wants to win the console wars, they really need to beef up their lineup of games. Of course, they could have something up their sleave (Halo 3).

Thats one thing that's always turned me off about Xbox, very few exclusives.

I think they've got a pretty strong lineup (not to mention that there are going to be about another 18 games at launch not listed there). You've got to remember that not everybody has PCs that will be able to run Quake 4, Oblivion and COD2. With nearly a year head start over the ps3/revolution, I'm sure they'll have a solid library of games by late 2006.

While it pains me to admit it; Microsoft has a pretty large fanbase right now that will probably be giving Sony some good competition in the next gen wars. And Gears of War was never set to release at launch or in the launch window.

Launch is weak to me, alot of those games dont appeal to me and the few that do, are coming for other consoles or for pc and id much rather build a new comp than buy the 360 right now. I probably wont buy one untill later next year.

The launch is pretty weak although I doubt that is every launch title.

Anyways i don't plan on buying a 360 becuase i think midway through the console generation it won't be able to shake a stick at the ps3 because of the media. Blue wave discs can hold something like 5x that of a DVD9. I think that will be the downfall of the 360 cause with the crazy graphics texture sizes are going to have to be huge.

The amount of storage will never be utelized. that's like saying you pick the revolution because it has a teraflop of storage. Who gives a fuck, I wanna play my game this year. Not in 5.
