Gaming: Big things to come in 2006

By Blake Snow

Business Week
 gives a primer on what to expect from the game industry in 2006, covering all three major next-gen consoles.
From the article: "[The game industry] is not like the early days, when top hits like Super Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog sold exclusively for the Nintendo or Sega system, and provided compelling reasons to buy one console over the other. Third-party-published games make up the majority of sales on consoles today
(last December, they accounted for 90% of sales on the current generation of consoles, according to NPD). That means it's going to be harder for Microsoft and Sony to differentiate their game portfolios this time around."

So how do you think 2006 will stack up against 2000-2001?
