        In general going multiplatform is a trend, as adding a platform usually adds to ROI, except where a game is moneyhatted to be an exclusive. No one is moneyhatting exclusives for the PC. So with enough similarity in architecture to make a port to 360 easy (have I got the technical terms right here?) they increase their audience at little cost.

        If the principle issue were PC piracy it hardly makes sense to release FIRST on PC, now does it?

            • The Xbox 360 experienced "record-breaking console sales" during the post-Thanksgiving weekend, Microsoft corporately gloated today. It estimated a 25% increase in sales from Black Friday 2007 and boasted that it outsold the PlayStation 3 three-to-one.


              The Xbox 360 experienced "record-breaking console sales" during the post-Thanksgiving weekend, Microsoft corporately gloated today. It estimated a 25% increase in sales from Black Friday 2007 and boasted that it outsold the PlayStation 3 three-to-one.

              Don Mattrick, senior VP of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft, said that his company anticipated Black Friday sales with "cautious optimism," according to a statement, but has seemingly thrown caution to the wind with a bold press release. Mattrick says sales have "laid the groundwork for continued global sales momentum in 2009." Oh no, they're takin' all the momentum!

              Microsoft also boasts European Xbox 360 sales are "up as much as 400 percent" since its September price drop. Man, they're taking Europe too? Greedy.

                  How much will 360 outsell the Wii?

                      • Been playing Dead space. Got it for $30 on Black Friday

                        highly recommend. a good example of achievements and weapons/powers stretching the gameplay beyond the initial 10 hr run through.

                        pretty high on tension level, especially playing at night.

                        story is pretty generic-rip off of Solaris/Event Horizon.

                        • I'm going to pick that up as well when I see it on offer. No hurry as I've got loads of games to play at the moment.

                            • Just finished the first run through. one of the easier final bosses I've faced. fun twist, if predictable.

                              solid value for $30. Not so much had I paid $60.

                              • Apparently the Wii sold 800,000 units in the US the week of Black Friday: http://uk.reuters.com/article/techno...00318920081208

                                Staggeringly high.
