Microsoft expect Rare to have made 5 games in the next 2 years with the first appearing in Spring next year.

So not only do they have to convert current games onto the new platform they need to be made in the next 2 years....

HA HA HA HA HA either Microsoft are stupid or they are rushing Rare.

But what about all that talk of Nintendo still owning the rights to Perfect Dark Zero and the Banjo games and the rest??

It's Conker.

Or.... they're trying to grab more punters as soon as possible by releasing ANY game that Rare can cook-up in 5 minutes, just so that everyone can look-on and see that a Rare Game has been released, and that now the time is right to get an X-Box.

But that won't work! :P

The only way a Spring Release will work is if Rare have been secretly working on several other games for the GameCube which they will now have to covert (in their near-finnished form) to the X-Box.

But that can't be possible!
It's taken them the last 4/5 years to get Dinosaur Planet finnished and done, and-so they must have been spending every waking-hour on that and nothing else.

I'm confused.... but I know Microsoft are doing the wrong thing!

Nah! It's going to be like it was on the N64.

Game scheduled for release in Spring.
Spring comes, along with the word "delay"!

Basically, MS know that Rare are going to delay a game as much as they can (being perfectionists and all), so they're setting the date early.

Either that or some of Rare's projects are closer to completion than we thought...
