Everyone seems to think Gears of War. This was my first thought, but FM2 seemed to cannibalize sales of PGR4. Do you think it's possible Microsoft wont want to risk sales of GeoW2?

I think there is a good chance they will bundle casual titles that wouldn't sell millions on their own ala Viva Pinata last year.

The issue with Gears 2 and Fable 2 is that they are second and first party respectively and will sell millions of copies on their own. That means Microsoft sacrifices loads of profit on the game to create a bundle.

@Squilliam.

How you doing mate? You havent been on much the last day or two?

Nothing will risk the sales of GOW2, its their apex title this year. It'll sell bucketloads and I'd be surprised if it sold less than 6 million. They'd probably position the title with the Elite because thats the console that suits the target market, the hardcore crowd. They can do a custom decal with it and make it a limited edition console, which should move quite well for the die hard fans and people who want something special for Christmas.

Banjo+Viva are an excellent pair together for another bundle. Boy/Girl, both with enjoy the console and they compliment each-other perfectly.

@ Cost of the bundles they sacrifice less profit than if they use 3rd party titles to create the bundle with. They are better off with those titles than without. They are perfect for bundles BECAUSE people want them, whats the use in putting games that noone wants into a bundle?

@Starcraft.

Im great mate! I've been online here a few times I just didn't find anything interesting to post about. I can't make another post until I think of something cool to write for my 2000th! xD This is 1999, and i've never posted this much on any forum before. Im such a whore...
