Interesting stuff! Its always bothered me that most games don't come with any apreciable level of local play considering 59% of people play with others. It explains why the sales of games like Halo 3 are so high relative to other games.

 

 I didn't quote all the statistics but there are more including rates of online play. Given that the rates of local play are at least three times that of online, I couldn't agree more.

 

It explains why I have been playing Boom Blox all weekend. Do you know I actually got my my girlfriends mother to play Castle Crashers? Whats even stranger is that she enjoyed it. Simple, elegant gameplay one stick and one button essentially. 

Seriously these ****ing developers should get their heads out of their ***es and stop targetting 720P and instead release games which support 2-4 player local multiplayer. Its even simpler than online, they don't have to support online servers or try to patch out the inevitable lag and it helps sell the game. Its one huge DUH! Really... Heck even Rockstar would have done better by releasing GTAIV at 576P on both consoles and included 4 player local multi-player.
 

 



Tease.
