Considering the bad sales performance of xbox Rare games, I'm not at all surprised. MS gave the studio plenty of chances, but Rare couldn't attract crowd the way Bungie, Epic, and Turn 10 did. Then bam, kinect hits and Kinect Sports becomes the sixth best selling Rare game of all time. As a business, you gotta take everything into account and realize what is working and what isn't working. I would like to see MS give Rare one last low budget attempt via XBLA or something. Let the modern Rare make a whole new Ip. Viva Pinata started out as a great game that ultimately died a sad death, but it was a great example of modern Rare's ingenuity and ability to create something both memorable and new.
