It's 2009 and the gaming world continues to bicker over the console war and NPD numbers. Should gamers and journalists be focusing all their attention to these silly arguments, or should they actually focus on the important things like games themselves.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
Not a bad read, but the irony is palpable. Flamebait articles/titles about how this console is doomed, or this game is going to destroy this other game...Well, that's just counter-productive, if you actually had an interest in celebrating and enjoying the actual games.
Took you long enough to realize you don't play sales.
sales arguments are retarded
look at sonic and mario and the olympic games, its sold like 6 million i think. talking about preying on children.
Politicians argue as to who as the best policies/philosophies. If it's OK for them, why not for gaming?
The forums talk more about the best games than the games companies do. You'd think that Uncharted was only worthy of being considered a niche game given the lack of marketing that Sony seemed to do for it.
They had a game that some say is the best of the generation and they decided to devote their resources to taking on the Xbox 360 at its own game- the FPS. Killzone 2 got great reviews but not outstanding sales. I'd say that the hardcore FPS fan is more likely than not still going to have an Xbox360. For me, Sony need to concentrate on adventure games like they did with the PS1 and PS2.
