UPDATE:
I'm just starting to put [Exclusive] next to the name for the Coming Soon sections, so if I missed one, please, don't be all negative about it and just point it out. Thanks. I'm also removing some games as a few of you are bitching that they aren't good. If one of your favorite games gets taken away, I'll put it back if you request.
Recently I've seen a lot of threads pop up about "What games should I buy for <insert console>?". So in light of those threads, I've decided to put together a large compilation of popular games coming out for all consoles within the next year or so. I'll attempt to keep it updated the best I can, but I'd appreciate any help as far as updates and inclusions go.
I apologize if I leave out a game or two, I'm going by games I've heard of/were at least mildly popular. If you have a personal favorite that wasn't that popular and I left it out, feel free to add it. :)
I'm also not including sports games. They're easy enough to find and know about on your own.
