These games were confirmed long way back so this isn't really new. Dead or Alive 5 will be Code Chronus which Itagaki pretty much announced in February 2007; no platform was named at the time, so it seems likely this will be another 360 exclusive.
Gears of War 2, well yeah, everyone knows its coming so no surprise their. Forza 3 is no surprise either, since GT5 will be coming late 2008 so Microsoft must have something to compete against it. And then there is the Peter Jackson game Halo Chronicles which will be quite interesting to see how that pans out.
So that gives Microsoft quite a few exclusives for 2008, which already has Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Too Human, Banjo, Splinter Cell Conviction, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Huxley and Ninja Gaiden II plus the above four.
