GameDaily BIZ has received the latest monthly Famitsu marketing data service report for the period covering October 1 – 28. Although software sales fell by over 14 percent, hardware sales climbed 30 percent, resulting in overall industry growth of 2.2 percent.
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."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
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
Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.
I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!
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.

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.
I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.
Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.
They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.
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.

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.
No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!
Yet the 360 hasn't managed to put a dent in Wii sales.. or the ps2's record for the 2 year mark.
Celebrating non-victory is what xbots are best at. Xbox has no victory over the competition that has been out as long as it has.
The XBOX 1 flopped in japan. Its like how Xbots celebrated a store which had 50 360's getting sold out.
at least they arrived at 5,well....at least they arrived close to 500,000 in half the time.in 2 more years,they will hit a million sold in japan.can't wait to see that.
while the other two companies are selling over a million consoles in EACH region in 1 year,lets see if microsoft can pull it off in "FOUR."
in order to win overall,you must sell consoles in EACH region.right now the celebration of a onesided victory will be short lived.
can't get to 100 million that way by selling only to the FPS crowd.but good luck to them.
mag lev..................
1up.com, someone post it.
lets see if it can finally meet 1M ...lol....
and it will probably drop back to 2k/week starting next week...
and opps...if the sale of PS3 take off in Japan..i wonder if it will be able to hit 2k point anymore....
quote "resulting in overall industry growth of 2.2 percent."
notice that, industry growth!! thats what we all should be focusing on. But oh no?? the 1st two posts are sony army typical rhetoric, and the 3rd post is typical xbox army rhetoric.
grow up people. competition keeps prices in line. competition allows for innovation in games.
