Next-Gen highlights notable 360 games planned for 2007 while examining the console's chances of success next year. The piece explores several analyst opinions suggesting the 360 has fallen short of expectations despite a solid 2006 and its many in-roads in securing additional third-party games from the hands of PlayStation exclusivity. From the article: "In sum, from a gamer's standpoint, yes, 2007 will be a great year for the Xbox 360. From a business standpoint, it'll be a year of truth." We're not sure what "year of truth" means, but if it's what we think it means, 2007 could be a year of truth for all three console makers. Granted, a system's second or third year usually paints a better picture of its long-term potential, but every year counts.[Image credit]
