I'm Calling It...

The Xbox 360 launch is a bust. I know the sales numbers are actually pretty good, but the 360's launch line-up and piss-poor follow up since then have left me sailing the sea of apathy on the H.M.S. Disinterest.

The upcoming titles don't really excite me that much either, besides Oblivion and maybe Gears of War. Other than that... yawn. The PS3 has me more interested int heir titles, spurred mainly by the great late releases the PS2 has had.

I don't know, maybe its console gaming thats boring me. Everything seems to have been done before, especially in the FPS genre, and everyone is just cloning each other's work. Ouside of Day of Reckoning 2 (I just made One Man Gang, and he's DEAD ON) I've been playing PC games exclusively for the passed couple months.

I think MS entered too soon and didnt give developers more time to get games polished. Look at EA's games, EA had to rush it to get it out in time (and supposedly built it "From the ground up").

The games look like somthing I'd like to try for 360 but not at $400 to ensure I get the full 360 package. I plan to at some point get a 360 but not yet.

Hopefully PS3's extra time to get games built will help (depending on how long companies have had dev kits also) and that they dont purposely limit supply.

Patience is a virtue lost to a generation of kids who expect everything lightning fast.
