You have no less than seven heavy hitters coming out between September and December; Halo: Reach, Fallout: New Vegas, Gran Turismo 5, Metroid: Other M, God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, and Sid Meier’s Civilization V. That’s at least one game per major system! And there are still more games coming out in those four months. You still have Fable III, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Call of Duty: Black Ops, LittleBigPlanet 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, GoldenEye 007, et cetera. And the list still goes on, but that’s enough for now."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
It still remains to be seen, of course, how many of them don't get pushed back to early 2011 at the last minute ;P
they say this every year
Ah it's this every year. It'll kick ass, like pretty much any other, but then, quickly on to Q1 which looks even better. The next 6-8 months, your not going to have trouble finding a few great games to play, whatever platform.
I think they're been trying to prolong Xmas momentum with Q1 the last few years, spreads the games out to, which aint a bad thing.
And Spring 2011 is going to be SICK!
I agree with this article. This is shaping up to be one of the best years ever for gaming.
