Word in the industry is that First Person Shooters will still contain gun-firing elements for some time.

Yeah, the X-Box 360 titles look like they've been seriously rushed out... but then, so were the X-Box titles of their day (it begins with 'H' and it makes my skin crawl even now) and so are the titles of most console launches. Sorry to break it to you, but beyond basic e-penis and playground bragging privaleges, owning a console the minute it's released only gives you the distinction of being the silly tit who brought a machine before it was worth having and when it was considerably more expensive than it would eventually be. edit: excepting those who then sell them ebay for far more than they're worth, in which case you're an entrepreneur and inclined to steal from homeless people

IMO, PS1/Saturn/N64 to PS2/Dreamcast/GC/X-Box wasn't any more than much better graphics either, but still people insisted on calling it "next gen".
