Don't forget Portal, Southpark, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Vigilante 8 are still to come. With the new Xbox Experience, Xbox Live Arcade could get even better next year.

I really love XBLA. A game like Braid wouldn't be possible without Arcade. Nobody would have ever played it. It is a game by 2 independent developers. Now this game made $ 2,300,000.00 revenue. It is so nice to see that a creative gameplay, even if the game is low-budget, still sells well. Too many times I payed 60€ for a game that turned out to be crap.

How would Braid not be possible without Arcade? It did sell great, but it would've sold far more on PC.

 

 

He meant in regards to the 360. Without the XBLA, that game would not have been available through normal retail channels.
