IMO, I think VP is going to attempt to be Microsoft's #1 family-friendly franchise.

MS needs to focus Rare (since they own it) on the Viva Pinata franchise, as well as the Banjo Kazooie series. Rare's just about the only good non-Nintendo company for family friendly titles (atleast in terms of putting a ton out that are great).

VP was a masterpiece of a real-time simulation game and vastly undersold and underrated. But with a system like X360, it needs ALOT of games like this, like JRPGs, to build the userbase - the base isn't already there, but if enough games come out like VP, VPA, and such, they will start selling real well.

 Microsoft need's it's Mario, the Viva Pinata characters are not to the caliber that's needed.  Sony got it right with Crash Bandicoot...  send the mascott off to Nintendo's headquarters and call them out.  Too bad Sony didn't keep with Crash, maybe we wouldn't have gotten all those horrible sequels on the PS2, GC and Xbox if they had.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
