PGR: I was going to say the same thing. Microsoft's decision looks a little better after seeing these sales numbers. Maybe they think Forza is enough, or maybe they're not that impressed by Bizarre?
I don't know or care much about these car games, but personally I enjoyed the PGR4 demo a lot more than the Forza 2 demo, so I'm a bit surprised by the low sales for PGR4. Can someone shed some light on this? Is it because Forza has all those car customization options through the livery editor, and an auction house?
And thanks for expanding it to the top 15.
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
