lol, it's irrelevant that 750,000 copies of the game were packed in a Christmas bundle (together with Forza Motorsport 2) and sold to typical X360-gamers, most of whom probably never put the DVD inside their console more than once? Yes, there definitely is a market on the X360 for casual games if you shove it into a bundle lol. |
Too true :P I left myself open there on purpose. But I wouldn't agree with the assertion that the people didn't play the game! From all accounts its a decent enough game. The bundling strikes me as an attempt to create demand for casual games, which was the entire point of my post really (see wii sports, it helped create the casual market for the wii). It'll be really interesting to see if its paid off with the new pinata. But nevertheless casual games are selling ok on the 360. Scene it being my major example, which is probably over 500k with others. Now that may not be a stupid amount of sales but its mildly successful. I don't see the issue with trying to get more casuals? It strikes me as a good move, its not like its alienating the hardcore 360 users as the 360 has many great hardcore releases coming this year.
