If I understand correctly, Microsoft wants a piece of Nintendos casual market. My question is why even bother designing new games to tap into this market when XBLA has casual games already. I know it's a little more then that (e.g. Wiimote) but nothing can be done about that.
My girlfriend and I have been looking through the XBLA games and every casual game we own on the Wii is also available on XMLA at a fraction of the cost. We paid 90 bucks for Geometry Wars, Puzzle Quest and Luxor when we could have gottent the same games for a fraction of the cost and without the Wiimote hickups.
We didn't know these games were available on xBox until a couple of you guys told me. Why doesn't MS just run a commercial and show off some of these XBLA games?
I'm not sure if Sony has downloadable casual games but they could do this too.
