Um, the thing is the vast majority of people want the same old things that they have already got, only better.
In Japan all the most anticipated games are sequels, just like here. MGS4, Killzone, the new metroid, the new zelda, the next GTA, the next resident evil, the next final fantasy (so much for final ;) The next Gran Tourismo ).
To be honest I'm no exception, I can't wait for Project Gotham Racing, I actually played the first one a lot more than Halo when I got my Xbox at launch. And the series has improved vastly since the Dreamcast original.
I'm also excited about some of the other games. The thing is that without repeat franchises no one would be interested in the new system at all.
To attract consumers the best strategy is to give them good quality titles they are already familiar with. Just look at Nintendo, and Mario. Just how often does he have to rescue some silly princess. And when is Linc going to change his clothes?
I think the Xbox360 lineup is the best ever for any console to date. And there are a few games coming out that look like they are going to be fantastic, just not being familiar with them at all, I'm quite happy to wait and see how they turn out. The excitement for new unknown titles is much less than the ones I know and love.
First on my list are project gotham, and Oblivion. Allthough if money was no object there are at least 6 titles I'd buy on the spot.
