This late part of 2015 is going to be rammed with a number of big games for Xbox One, like Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Forza Motorsport 6 to mention but a few, but Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg promises that the console will have even more big games in 2016 compared to 2015.

In addition to the games already announced, there are still some we haven't seen yet. Here's what he told Kinda Funny Games (via Examiner):

"We expect to sell more games next year and we have more game titles releasing next year than we do this year. If you start to look at that list of things that are coming, we have Quantum Break in April, Killer Instinct Season 3, Recore, Scalebound, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War 4 and probably some we haven't announced."

Greenberg also commented on the sales situation, with PlayStation 4 outselling the Xbox One, which in turn is generating speculation regarding the future of Xbox:

"Globally, if you look at Xbox One sales month by month and how we stack up against where the Xbox 360 was, and I think Xbox 360 was widely regarded as a huge success for us, we are month by month selling more Xbox Ones than we did Xbox 360s.

We're actually widening that gap. As we rate ourselves against ourselves, we're doing very well. We're also selling more more games than we sold last-gen. We're seeing the console market being extremely healthy. If you look at the games lineup this year and you look at the games lineup next year, Halo will sell a lot of consoles, Gears will sell a lot of consoles, so for us it's been really healthy."

Taking all that into consideration, it should mean there's nothing to worry about for Xbox One owners out there, and next year sounds like it's going to be a big one for the console.
