Great article. It does give some hope for this Next Generation of games. However, I thought the same for the past generation and in my opinion many of the games took a step back (Madden). With the 1 year release cycle, economy woes (layoffs), and lack of competition for some sports, I wonder how much it will really change for this Next Generation.
All I can do is support those developers that go above and beyond to give us the best game possible each year and hope others will hold off buying from those that refuse to push the genre forward.
