OK, so to re-cap that's 17 games confirmed for launch. So all this "Nuh no titles yet" talk can stop being so tiresome and wrong.

To be honest, most of them just seem like they're being released for the 360 rather than the Xbox.
Out of the list, I'd say about 5 were created for the 360.

"Project Gotham Racing 3
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
Madden NFL 06
NBA Live 06
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Need for Speed Most Wanted
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup."
Out of that 8, 5 of them are EA games that we can play on the Xbox/PS2.

Perfect Dark Zero
Madden NFL 06

From an interview with J Allard at X05:
Allard declined to offer any details of the 360's launch day software line-up but did confirm that Microsoft is hoping for "All three of the first party titles to be there on day one."
"We're hoping, though. We're not going to sacrifice quality to do it," he said.
"If something's not ready we'll hold it back... I mean these games are not far from being done, and if they're three weeks after the launch or they're on launch day I don't think it makes a significant difference."
Sorry to break your homecoming orgasm, peeps.

Yeah, because 17 games just won't be enough...
Out of interest my '8 games' quote from gamespot was also taken from X05 and from an MS employee to boot.
Oh yeah and then there's the other 9 games comfirmed by the ACTUAL publishers as being ready for the launch.
Sorry to stop you clinging to your one quote from someone at MS but there you go.

To be fair, the one quote says it all.
J Allard is God, though, so he is clearly just playing it down so when all three are available at launch we'll all want to kiss his big, bald, frictionless head.

The non-MS one saying "here come 9 games at launch that aren't from MS or EA"?
I agree with you 100%.

Project Gotham, Perfect Dark, Kameo and Madden will all be AJ's.
w00t.

Heh, just because the publishers say they will launch on release doesn't mean they will; they have to pass their games through certification, then they have to go gold for manufacturing; anther words, when and only when the first party (MS) have given them the full seal of approval i.e. confirmation from them, will it be certain.
