IGN doesn't list any big games for December 2008, I'm trying to remember if the 360 had any big games in December last year.
The last really big games I remember from 2007 were Mass Effect and Rock Band, and those were both released on November 20.
Considering most Americans do their Christmas shopping at the last minute (instead of getting it done the Friday and weekend after Thanksgiving like in the past), I'm surprised there are no big games scheduled for December 9 or even December 16.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
