Lair is the dragon game for PS3 being developed by Factor 5.
Last gen I had more fun with Halo than any Nintendo made game. Halo was one of the hottest games period last gen. The only nutters who say otherwise are biased fanboys.
Halo one the hottest game period last generation? Well we know without a doubt that any "hot" game means it is a great game. Most of those games you listed that are exclusive new IPs are shooters of some variation, and little in the way of "new" concepts. Gears of War looks to be a shoot em up 3rd person action game along with the rest being a variation of the shooter genre with a couple of exceptions. Your argument that Wii's new IPs are made by "unproven" studios is also ridiculous, because even if that was true, up and coming studios can put out great software as well. A few of the proven studios are Ubisoft, Konami and of course Nintendo. Unlike most of those other IPs you listed the exclusives from those companies are trying to expand into new territory.
Eelbits-A wacky looking game. Not sure what it is going to turn out but it has promise to do something innovative
Red Steel-We still have only seen the tip of the iceberg on this one, but it shows alot of promise if they get the controls straightened out
Day of Disastor- Once again not much is known about this but monolith is a proven developer so it has potential
Sadness-A small developer that is getting a ton of help, sounds like it could potentially innovate the psychological horror genre with the Wiimote
Excite Trucks-Pretty much an arcadey off road racing game, probaly the most generic of the bunch
Project Hammer-Again not much is known about this except for the short demo, it obviously falls within the beat em action game genre.
I cannot comment on the rest of the new IPs because I know nothing about them. This list obviously doesn't include some of the exclusive IPs from Nintendo and their 3rd party developers like Rayman, Mario, exclusive RE game, Batallion Wars, and the host of other exclusives. Unlike those so called "new" IP experiences on Xbox 360/PS3, nintendo's new games have promise to do something completely different. Sure some will be letdowns but at least they tried and didn't stick to a particular genre like the "realistic shoot things" genre that Xbox 360 and PS3 will have. Don't get me wrong I am sure a few of those new IPs on PS3 and Xbox 360 will be fun games but they will most likely not expand video gaming as we know it. Not to mention alot of those are coming to PC so they aren't even that exclusive, and I will probaly get that version of the games.
