XBOX 360 Predictions 2009

The 360 had a great year in 2008, despite the steamroller that is the Wii usurping it in every way as far as sales go. Here's a few predictions for 2009 and some things I'd like to see

Halo 3 ODST will sell better than expected but will still be beaten by COD Modern Warfare 2 as far as games played goes.

Microsoft will sign two more 3rd party exclusives that are pretty big. They need to counter God of War III and other PS exclusives.

Will Alan Wake be out this year? It supposedly will, but who knows.

Microsoft will begin to charge for outfits for your Avatar, thus angering the "Horse Armor" crowd.

A version of Internet Explorer will be released for the 360 during an update. Lots of fans have been clamoring for it, and it will happen in 2009 since both Nintendo and Sony have an internet browser

In a desperate attempt to sell more units and to try and catch Nintendo, Microsoft will drop the price of the Arcade version to $149. I predict this will happen around the time of E3.
