Microsoft unveiled its next-gen and Windows holiday lineup during X06, and it’s looking almost hot enough to melt snow. Most of the announcements on both fronts aren’t big shockers. But, all in all, it looks like Microsoft is positioning itself well to compete, especially when the next-gen show down really starts.Here’s a look at the anticipated 360 holiday titles:
