It's the beginning of the product life cycle. I think some may be expecting too much too soon. I think others still expect too much overall. I mean, what do they want the 360 to do, clean and press their pants?
It's a game console, I expect better graphics and sound from next gen. Gameplay is gameplay and it evolves independent of console generations. The 360 has already produced, and I look forward to the future as developers learn to harness the power.
What I do find annoying is how people say the 360 must really be hurting for quality titles if everyone is so thrilled with Xbox Live Arcade. Hello, new ways of playing games is what it's all about. I'm never played any kind of tetris or puzzle game, but I got hooked on Hexic for hours the other day.
Old arcade titles aren't generally worth picking up for 20 bucks for the compilations. But 5 bucks to relive some Joust or some other classic? That's a no-brainer.

I definitely think it's next gen enough.

It ain't perfect, but I think they got it right.
