????每年年底這個節日扎堆的季節都為游戲玩家提供了很多嘗鮮下一代電子游戲的時間，很多人已經用圣誕節獎金訂購了2014年值得期待的幾款大游戲。據研究公司Newzoo統計，隨著新一代硬件投放市場及當前一代硬件的降價，今年視頻游戲行業的市值預計將增長7%，達到704億美元。

????Newzoo公司CEO彼得?沃爾曼認為：“隨著兩款新游戲機上市，今年對于游戲行業來說又將是非常有意思的一年。由于習慣原因，當前一代游戲機的玩家人數在幾年內還將多于下一代游戲機的玩家人數。在很大程度上，針對新設備開發的游戲會有助于下一代游戲機的成功增長。”

????微軟（Microsoft）的Xbox One和索尼（Sony ）PS4在視覺精細度和性能上可以說是針尖對麥芒，因而針對各自設備設計的獨家游戲對于兩家公司來說都將十分重要。但是整個行業仍然要在全球范圍內支持8000萬臺PS3和8000萬臺Xbox 360的需求。各大游戲發行商仍將在各大主流平臺上為當前一代和下一代游戲機的用戶發布更多的游戲（不過任天堂的Wii U并不在很多發行商的計劃內）。以下十款游戲就是各大發行商2014年最受期待的大作。

????With the holidays offering plenty of free time for gamers to catch up on the first crop of next-generation titles, that extra Christmas money is already being spent on pre-orders for the big games of 2014. According to research firm Newzoo, the video game industry is expected to grow 7% from the $70.4 billion it's expected to generate this year, riding the wave of next-generation and lower-priced, current-generation hardware.

????"With two new consoles fresh on the market, it will be another very interesting year for the games industry," said Peter Warman, CEO of Newzoo. "Traditionally, current-gen console use outnumbers gamers on next-gen consoles for a number of years. To a large degree, games launched for the new devices will help determine the successful growth of next-gen consoles."

????With Xbox One and PS4 being neck-and-neck with visual fidelity and performance at this early juncture, exclusive games will be a key driver for Sony (SNE) and Microsoft(MSFT, Fortune 500). But the industry, as a whole, will continue to support the 80 million PS3s and 80 million Xbox 360s in homes around the world. Publishers will release many games across the key platforms (you'll notice, however, that Wii U isn't included in many publishers' plans) to deliver both a next-gen experience for early adopters as well as a current-gen game for the masses. The following list of 10 games focuses on some of the most anticipated officially announced cross-platform games from third-party publishers coming in 2014.
