Games in the ID@Xbox program have generated $500 million in revenue

The ID@Xbox program remains to be one of the greatest facets of Xbox, period. Bringing some truly unique ideas to the industry by empowering independent developers, ID@Xbox has been an almost exclusively positive influence on the creative progress of the medium. Recently, the ID@Xbox Twitter commemorated an amazing achievement for the program, revealing that $500,000,000 in sales have been racked up from ID@Xbox games since the program's inception. The program has been one of the big saving graces of Microsoft's console, after a rocky beginning to the generation. It had a big part to play in shifting public opinion back towards Microsoft in lieu of Sony and remains to be a huge powerhouse for new, valuable IP. The most recent example of an ID@Xbox success story is Cuphead - a game that came out a few weeks ago to tons of praise, and still is managing to remain relevant. With more games still on the way for the program, it should

All games are the power of the X. Considering the flack MS got for not showing them love, id say this is better than before

Ianora. It is part of the sum. The XB1 AAA titles, the X360 titles, the OG Xbox titles, and indie titles...all get enhancements to form the Beast known as XB1X. Voltron isn't Voltron without all the parts.

Can't tell if you are being serious or not. Xbox is doomed

Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.

Good guy Nintendo
Microsoft and Sony are the bad guys

Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.

And you make profit off of outdated hardware.

I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.

I didn't want to say anything but drivxr is right.

Nintendo always sells at a profit because they purposely use tech that's always 5 or more years behind. And it's also true their games hardly ever get price decreases.

Don't get me wrong, it's great they kept most of their workforce, but making a point to have your tech specs behind everyone else affords that luxury.

If they ended up kicking people out after all of that stated above, it would be truly shameful.
