The New Year is upon us. In the aftermath of the Xbox 360 launch and its 19 games, what is left? Given that we're in January 2006, and this is Microsoft's first full year supporting only the Xbox 360, you can expect a lot. This is the year that things heat up big time. We'll see the second wave of Xbox 360 games, and Sony's PS3 and Nintendo's Revolution culminating in an enormous winter holiday bonanza this fall. Sony's strategies, its console, and its boomerang controller will finally manifest. So how will Microsoft fend off its one-year lead and with what games? Will Microsoft's first-year strategy pay off? Will Xbox Live explode with greatness? Will the potentially new IPs take off? Will we see Halo 3? And can Microsoft really take Sony's two-gen crown? In this, our second prediction piece, we'll look deep into our crystal ball and speculate about what this year will bring. (If you missed the first article, check IGN Predicts the Future 2006, Pt. 1) If you don't believe how good we are at it, check last year's predictions (IGNXbox Predicts the Future, Pt. 1 and IGNXbox Predicts the Future, Pt. 2), we did well.
