You know what after reading the posts and looking at 2008 releases, I don't think Chrismas 07 or 08 is the most crucial. I changed my mind.
The Xbox360 fate will be decided in the next 12 weeks. Two Worlds and Eternal Sonata (a good JRPG) real soon, Halo 3, and then GTA IV and Guitar Hero III at the end. If these games don't significantly revitalize the 360 sales I don't see unknown franchises like Bioshock or Mass Effect (or $200 Rock Band) doing anything dramatic. It really comes down to Halo 3 and if $50 makes a difference, do people own a 360 and are they waiting or are people going to buy a 360 for Halo 3 later. |
hum if I recall halo was an unknown licence too :) if marketed correctly those two new licence could do the same or at least good.... |
Halo 1 didn't sell as Halo 2, and Halo probably had more copies sold at $20. I don't think BioShock or Mass Effect will have the 5 million copy appeal of Halo. Of course all these games combined may or may not be a powerful system seller. I am not saying 360 will fail, I am saying that the next 12 weeks are the most critical.
A very interesting chart.
