Arcade, Atari 2600, Intellivision Coming To Xbox 360?
According to a consumer survey, discovered by a Joystiq tipster, it looks like Xbox Live will be getting its own Virtual Arcade space for your Avatar.
The screenshots above, taken from the survey, show multiple player Avatars playing some old titles. While they appear to be playing on Arcade cabinets, you'll spot that an Atari 2600 is attached to the hood, and the player appears to be playing RealSports Basketball.
Atari games don't appear to be the only console available - one of the banners at the back suggests that Shark! Shark! is playable, which is a Intellivision game.
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
