Next-Gen has predicted the top 20 games that will take Xbox 360 through the competitive holidays and into 2007. Estimated sales and analysis are included.
Unlike PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 has already taken strong steps to defining itself. It has history, and its prior success can to some extent be used to predict future software successes.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.
Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-
Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
"Gears of War
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Epic Games
Estimated Release Date: November 2006
Estimated Sales: ~1,000,000"
I expect more even. over 20% of all 360 owners bought games like COD2 and GRAW. Over a longer period of time, but this Christmas there will be 10 million 360 users. I'll bet if I read the forums that at least half of all the owners will buy Gears. And many can't wait till november even
It'll sell like hot cakes, that's for sure!
Just Sales.
What about Pro Evo 6? surely that is going to be a big seller
ha well I honestly believe that like 3 million will buy GOW, if not more, and cod3, ok cod 2 that's the best selling game to date on the 360, once again much more will buy COD3
that gears of war will surpass even halo2, i say ~1,800,000 because at least the majority of people in the US and EU will get it. And for COD3 I say ~1,000,000.
