Straight from the mouth of Captain Obvious, it would seem. Next Generation has the latest holiday predictions from analysts Wedbush Morgan Securities, the news is not so festive. "WMS says Xbox 360 shortages, the lack of price cuts on now-generation hardware and consumer indifference to the proliferation of sequels all lead to a cautious outlook."

This doesn't actually surprise anyone, does it? An industry that had been growing off of sequels and a market that is down from last year, when last Holiday season saw both a new Halo and GTA title? Tiring of sequels is one thing, but not having huge AAA titles at retail is another. This is a little bit of both, methinks.
