I'd be interested to see it broken out by:
Day 1 games
By the end of the year games
Jan games
Feb/Mar games
I'd say some likely Day 1 games are:
Ghost Recon 3
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Madden 2006
Oblivion: Elder Scrolls
Tony Hawk
Quake 4 (maybe end of year - trade places w/Call of Duty)
Call of Duty
Kameo
We haven't heard enough about Microsoft's to know Day 1 for sure, especially w/ PGR 3& Perfect Dark 0

for us launch:
sports: madden 06, nba 06, nba 2k6, nhl 2k6, tiger woods 06, fifa 06, top spin 2
extreme sports: amped 2, tony hawk
racing : pgr 3, nfs: most wanted, test drive: unlimited, full auto
shooter: pd0 (if it makes it) , call of duty 2, quake 4, gun, ghost recon 3, condemned
fighting: dead or alive 4
action/adventure: kameo, tomb raider, king kong
mission based driving (i.e. gta clone): the godfather
rpg: oblivion, ff xi (even if only beta)
seems like a very solid lineup to me, if you compare it to previous console launches, most major genres are covered. if you don't like anything but very japanese games, then I can see that you won't be happy with the lineup, but sorry to say you are in a minority there.. there are many best selling franchises there at launch (madden, fifa, tiger woods, tony hawk, nfs, pgr, call of duty, quake, tomb raider etc.)
is dead rising and frame city killer coming for launch?
outfit and saint's row are for 2006, i'm not so sure though..
then there are all the japanese games that should come here sometime in 2006, such as blue dragon and chrome hounds.
full list of confirmed x360 games here:

Okay, to wrap it up - these are confirmed:
Ghost Recon 3
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Madden 2006
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
Call of Duty 2
Kameo
FIFA 06
NBA Live 06
Peter Jackson's King Kong
The Outfit
The Godfather
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Full Auto
PGR 3
These are most likely:
Perfect Dark Zero
Dead or Alive 4
Saint's Row
Condemned
NBA 2K6
Quake 4 hasn't even a release date yet, I doubt that it will be released by the end of this year. And The Outfit was in fact confirmed as a launch title. I'm not sure about the two Sega titles. Both Full Auto and Condemned are scheduled "fall 2005" and are likely to be US launch titles while the European release of Full Auto says "early 2006"...
We'll see.

There are no confirmed day one titles at this point. I think we all expect Madden to be there day 1, but as with all the games, we just don't know. I think it's extremely questionable to assume that ~most games shown at E3 are guaranteed launch titles, even the playable ones (which were few).
I know that it's probably in some retailers databases, but given that not a single developer actually has been able to even touch a beta development kit, we should probably wait to hear "confirmed" listings before making them ourselves.

This is correct, launch window basically means fiscal year as well.
I'm really excited about Call of Duty 2, Ghost Recon 3, and hopefully Perfect Dark Zero once we hear more about the game.
Condemned is looking good as well. A buddy of mine played it at E3 and told me that if Bumfights was made into a game - this would be it. :lol
WOW! If all of those make it that's an impressive line-up. If they get PDO, Condemned, Kameo, PG3, DOA4 and Oblivion in the launch window it's going to make for the most exciting launch-line-up I personally have ever looked forward to before. Couple that with Madden and hopefully FIFA a little later and I will be one happy gamer for at least 2-3 months
Also Condemned...should be in the action/adventure/survival category...if this game deliver it could be another big title. Rather than extreme sports and racers, this game should have a lot of meat to it. Good story driven horror type game.
Seriously, the 360 is looking excellent to me right now. I could deffinitely say best launch line-up ever and not feel stupid about saying it. Because out of right now there are more than 8 games I REALLY want out of the launch line-up. That's never happened to me before. Almost too good to be true that i'll see a highly anticipated racer, fps, rpg, sports, adventure and horror game all at launch....I forsee delayes. They really don't NEED all of that and I just don't think developers are going to want to tear each other's throats and end up with crappy sales on such highly anticipated titles.

Superfrog said:Okay, let's assume "confirmed" means "most likely to be released with X360".
Btw, wtf exactly does "launch window" mean? Afaik this term has never been used before.
Really? They use it for all of the launches, it just means games that are slated to release in the first few months following launch.

I preordered Madden 06 and Ghost Recon3. Ghost Recon3 just looks too good. When I pickup my X360 I'll preorder Gears of War.
"Is Prey supposed to come out this year? "
No, that's 2006. Looking forward to that one myself.
Why's everyone preordering games? I've nerver heard of game shortages at launch. Am I not seeing something here? I feel pretty safe with just my system pre-order, besides I see bundles again.

Provided my money situation is alright....
I'm definitely getting Ghost Recon 3. It's the one 360 game that has really impressed me. Kameo and PDO could be excellent, so I'm keeping my eye on those. Never been a fan of Elder Scrolls, but Oblivion does look gorgeous.
If GR3 is announced for PS3, though, everything could change. I'll have to see what happens over the next several months.

No. I'm not buying all, most, not all. I'm pretty much done.
AFIAK, MS are considering launch window as the first 40 days from the release of the Xbox 360
also, here is an unconfirmed "launch list":
although, some of the listings are obviously wrong, for example, most people think there's no way Lost Odyssey will be ready by that date...

I like how we've gone from "Launch" to a several month-long "Launch Window" with recent consoles. I can't wait for Nintendo and Sony to start bragging about how many titles they'll have for their "Launch Year."

No. I don't think its existence is even confirmed.
edit: i guess I'm wrong then. I haven't seen a confirmation for the game yet, though I do understand that it would probably only come out on a microsoft console.

I'm thinking about waiting next-gen out for a bit, must stay strong!
One console future depends on it
If a sexy, well made PD0 is out at launch I might just bite the bullet though. Otherwise I'll stick the PS2 until PS3 gets here.
