Boston (TheNextXbox) – The Xbox and the Xbox 360 were both highly-successful consoles.  One thing that is clear though is that a console is only successful as the games that it has on it.  Ask any Nintendo gamer out there and they will tell you this first-hand, it is all about the games and the first-party as well as third-party support that goes along with the console.  The Xbox brand itself has had many successful franchises tied to it, but some of them have gotten lost in the shuffle in a sense.  Today, we wanted to go back and take a look at five lost Xbox franchises, and weigh how likely it is that they are going to be making a return on the next-generation Xbox 720.

Microsoft has some stellar franchises in its first-party arsenal, especially with companies such as Rare on board.  Microsoft has produced some stellar first-party exclusives for its console.  Some of these that immediately come to mind include Halo, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing, and Fable.  There are some franchises though that would be first-party exclusives from Microsoft which we have not heard much about, and we will a few of them today.
