Xbox 360 Launch Titles and Information
1up has some information from a recent release of Xbox 360 launch information. They have available for you the Launch Titles list, an assurance that the EU and JP launches will be this year, an overview of the event, and updates on the titles Ninety-Nine Nights and Frame City Killer. From the launch titles list: "Activision: Call of Duty 2, Tony Hawk American Waste, Quake 4, Gun - Capcom: Resident Evil 5, Dead Rising - Square Enix: FFXI - Microsoft Game Studios: Everyparty (from Game Republic), Ninety Nine Nights, PGR3 - Ubisoft: Ghost Recon 3"
Nowhere does it say that these are launch titles. All it does is list some games that are in development for the console.
Am I missing something, or did the submitter not realize that there is a big difference between a launch title and a title in development for a new system?
I was quite excited to see a list of launch titles for the 360, and was quite disappointed...
1UP contributor Chris Kohler cracked the language code, hurriedly translating the list, which appears below. Remember, though, it's a rough translation and the game titles may not be completely accurate.
Obviously they just tried to dump this out as quickly is possible, because w/ a little work you could figure out the year for FIFA or which version of Winning 11 is coming.

Launch list? With half of them untitled and the system coming out in a few months? Hardly. This is an in-development list. Title of this article needs to be edited.
According to http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/metalgearsolid3 /news_6119725.html
the rumor is that Halo3 will be released around the same time as the PS3. Seems a likely strategy, if they can get a sequel done that fast.
