There are a few surprises of games we haven't heard are getting a "next-gen" release, LEGO Marvel Superheroes and Skylanders come to mind. We do know Call of Duty: Ghosts will have some sort of co-op mode, but it hasn't been talked about yet and we heard some rumbling at E3 that Dead Rising 3 would also support co-op.
Either way it looks like a fairly solid launch lineup, but the launch lineups are never the issue. It's the wait until the next batch of games that usually ends up being a problem. If Microsoft doesn't have a solid, steady stream of titles over the 6-9 months, it could definitely hurt the system as we saw happen with the Nintendo Wii U.
