Gamecyte writes: "With today's news that Microsoft's Shane Kim and Phil Spencer have been promoted in the wake of marketing VP Jeff Bell's departure, Next-Gen has an interview with the two about the future of the Xbox 360. Spencer and Kim make some upbeat promises for the system - Gears of War 2 will be "huge." Fable 2 will be "huge." Surpassing the success of Halo 3 is just "another benchmark, another milestone to exceed in the future." It's far from unusual for game executives to talk up their consoles and software, but we at GameCyte got to thinking: How many grains of salt should we be taking these with? What sort of a track record do Microsoft and others have when it comes to delivering on their promises? In this, our first look at the promises - and results - surrounding our game systems, GameCyte takes a look back at what the Xbox 360 claimed it would do, and analyze where Microsoft execs have led us astray."
