It is possible that the system could suffer from exhaustion in this genre, but with Epic already having created a hit for Microsoft, and the fact that they can market this game under the banner of being from the creators of Gears of War, will possibly allow it to push ahead of the pack and stand out. Also, this game has the Unreal Tournament name behind it, which is well respect.
I do not believe that the news of a timed exclusive ( I already knew about it at the time of the post) will hurt this game. First, the PS3 will not have as many systems when this game is released on that system as the Xbox360 will have when this game is released on it. From this I think the news of it not coming out this year due to a timed exclusive will actually help it, since the Xbox360 will have a chance to gain even more consoles due to the winter boost (and the likely boost due to Halo 3) so that when this game is released it will actually fair better than if it had been released earlier. Also, if they release it during a drought (possibly in January or next summer) they could seize upon a more open market rather than having to face competition for people's attention during the winter/Christmas season.
