I'm sorry but a 74ish average is not good enough to sell well based on reviews alone. The way games get rated these days would mean anything below a 80 is not worth the money/time. This is not simply by my logic but by many peoples alone. Being a new title people are not going buy your game based on name alone. Multiply this by the fact that 1-3 arcade titles get released a week during the Fall/Winter period, your game is going to have to go at a lower price just to get noticed or have some strong advertising.
With that said I'd like for MS to have every XBLA title have It's own little window on the main dash board for the first few days of It's release at the least.
The best thing about XBLA titles is you can get a demo/trial of every single game released. As long as your game gets noticed chances are the viewer will give it a try unless they feel right off the bat that the game would suck.
It's just that simple.
