The last month alone has been amazing. Trials Evo and Minecraft. Both "AAA" titles 20 Dollars or under. Both games i have put more time into then any game in the last few years. There is no difference anymore. When i look at the new Ps3 battle royal game, or twisted metal for instance, there is not reason ps3 gamers should have had to pay 60 bux each for those games. Those both would have been 15 dollar downloads on xbox. Especially since the fact twisted Metal has no Online community aymore and they have announced they have no plans for DLC. My point is this: The fact MS could have packaged minecraft and charged 40 dollars and didnt is amazing, TRIALS evo I would easily pay 30 bux for, but it was 15. People just look at HALO 4 and say"OH thats the only 60 dollars game that uses a controller this year? thats the only game coming out, and look its a shooter" Open your eyes people, i turn my xbox on everyday and im never short of a variety games to play. |
Um...Arcade is composed of lower budget games just like PSN. The casual market on PC, tablet and Mac products are still gouging into the casual titles sales on consoles. Retail games are still the main games and it is an illusion that those games are equal. Microsoft doesn't have many of those. Of course Microsoft is going to publish what has the least risk, which is why the best games they have are third party outside of Halo and Forza.
