Windows Phone 7 games portfolio to be 'bigger than Xbox 360'

Tech Radar: Microsoft has told TechRadar that it is aiming to offer more games with Windows Phone 7 at launch than it did on the Xbox 360.

Kevin Unangst, senior global director for Games for Windows, told us that the kinds of games that have been wildly successful will make up the core of the Xbox experience on Windows Phone 7 handsets:

"We're going to have a launch portfolio of games that's bigger than the one we had with the Xbox 360.

and what about Quality?

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

quality doesn't matter. It's all quantity.

[ABizzel1]

I don't know who disagreed with TotalPS3Fanboy, he's telling nothing but the truth.

MS feel the more they have the better, and they'll eventually have some quality title since they'll have so many.

The way this is going to happen is by, making the majority of the XBLA stuff compatible with the phones, and then having ports of all the phones games currently available part of their library which means get ready for a ton of crap with a couple of quality games.

[coolbeans]

to see you're actually getting agrees. To think any company doesn't care about quality is just foolish at best.

[Rush]

O yeah because there's plenty of more quality games out there on the Iphone and Android phones compared to stuff like Halo tards.

[gamingdroid]

I think that since it is now tied to PC, Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 in all one development kit you will see a lot of quality going forward. Whatever you see on Xbox Live Arcade is likely to migrate to Windows Phone 7.

@Rush
Microsoft needs to pump out more good quality games. Halo ain't gonna hold their hands forever.

[shoddy]

Some people prais 3ds as graphic king. The damn screen is so small.

These games are cheap to make.
Look at street fighter 4 on iPhone. The quality get really set back compare to console.

[Strikepackage Bravo]

nathan, did you just claim the 360s game library is small? Are you on heroin? Seriously did you even think about that before you wrote it, because I know at least one console that 360 has more games than, its big black and looks like a grill.

Do some research before you make foolish comments.

[Rush]

I thought that would be Sony that needs to pump out more good games considering there still in last place?

Since your starting an argument completely unrelated to mobile games, and retards happen to think mobiles games are somehow on the same level of quality as console games.

[barom]

I think WP7 will have the same issue Android and iPhone games have, the touch screen interface. Seems like so few games is able to adapt to it.

[MaxXAttaxX]

I was obviously referring to Microsoft first-party games!

Unless you were living under a rock you'd have figured out that Sony has been putting out more(and more varied) first-party and exclusive games.

[VINNIEPAZ]

And yet another MS/Xbox topic full of the Sony Elite spewing the top quality filth we come to expect from N4PS3G.

Keep up the good work guys, Sony loves you.

[shoddy]

I say the game won't be hardcore enough.
It'll be like iPhone games. My opinion.
Psp games are real hardcore portable games. Soon to be 3ds.

I'm a hardcore gamer.

[PS360fanboy]

Yup, failing to realize that +95% of both console's catalogue is basically the same...they think the other 5% makes that much of a difference in terms of quality...

[Babypuncher]

@ tysonlegend:

"oh i have a buetooth/pc/buray pwayer my wittle pstee console is betta than micosoft"

you really are tyson aren't you? you sound just like him!! c'mon admit it!

OT: this is why i think windows 7 mobile won't be as successful as Microsoft hopes:

[fuckoffodion]

VINNIEPAZ whining again. Go figure.

[tinybigman]

i can't take gaming on a phone seriously. it will never be as engrossing as gaming on a console whether it be main or handheld.

[T3MPL3TON]

I have this odd feeling about the Win Phone 7.. I have a feeling it's gonna be big. It has some sort of ridiculous buzz and it's mostly over the games. To think.. M$ could have just went full on hand held and possibly generated the same buzz. Win Phone 7 vs DS vs PSP could be interesting. PREPARE FOR AWESOME GAMES!!!

[VINNIEPAZ]

"PREPARE FOR AWESOME GAMES!!!"

Now thats what I'm talking about! Lets do some gaming!!!!!

[Shackdaddy836]

Looks like I wont be going with Microsoft for my gaming needs anytime soon :)

Phones are meant for calling. Look it up in the dictionary.

[Weaksauce1138]

And computers are meant for compiling data, not being an ass hat on the Internet. Look it up in the dictionary

[OneSneakyMofo]

How can a computer be an ass hat? :z

[shoddy]

It's a tool.

If you think the Move is a dildo and stick it up your ass then it can be a dildo.

[cmacdonald]

I though MS doesn't like to develop games anymore.

[Malice-Flare]

there's a Halo for this too?

[shoddy]

"wildly successful"

There will be Gear and MW.

[OneSneakyMofo]

Typical. This is exactly why Microsoft will fail as a gaming company in the long run. They pour more money into future peripherals with an empty market than an already-large console market.

[Kyur4ThePain]

They throw money into anything anyone else is making money from. Mostly it's a case of too little too late, though.

[kaveti6616]

An empty market? Do you think before you post? No, I'm the stupid one for assuming that you would. Forgive me.

[Kyur4ThePain]

It didn't take all that long for some people to change their "ipod / iphone / ipad is a gaming platform" tune to one seemingly excited about WP7 gaming.
Interesting.

[Trroy]

Big well-known titles too, like Solitaire, Minesweeper, Hearts, Tetris...

Those games are way bigger than Halo, in terms of overall time-played, you know. ;)

Only the biggest games on Windows Phone 7!

[SKUD]

GFWL . LOL. We all know how well that turned out to be.

[Spinal]

I have an iPhone 4, before the new iphone arrived i was so waiting on the WinPho 7 right now im gonna wait til they get more time in the market tho I love the asus an Dell Venue Pro models of the WP7.

[Babypuncher]

list of *confirmed* windows mobile 7-enabled phone exclusive games/content:

Halo: GPS
Ninja Garden
Alan Wake flashlight app
exclusive DLC for bejeweled 2

[CYBERHATER]

I'll pass

[divideby0]

thats really not that much of a feat to tout... and got to see the quality of the games on the phone..

[limewax]

So make me a console MS. Its all well and good to try get in on the market but WAY too late and your abandoning your 360 fanbase while your at it. I wont lie, I love PS3, mostly becuase they have games coming that I want, same as Wii does right now, Skyward Sword etc. However I am a 360 fanboy too, or I was until recently, This year has been a poor year for MS. And now they cant even be bothered to make games for their original fanbase so theyre going to lose it.

I understand that some of you may still love the 360 the way I used to, So I get why you want to defend it, but you have to admit for anyone who paid out for the 360 multiple times due to failure rate, Its beyond cheeky to expect them to buy Kinect and WP7 to get in on the gaming, And to drop pretty much all first-party support for the 360 to hand it to Kinect and WP7 is ridiculous. Yet here we are, this is the truth of it.

I wont be buying the next MS console for one of the two reasons below
1. Becuase I spent all that money over the years just to be dropped like last years trend when they thought they could get richer elsewhere (by the WP7 will never beat the Iphone, Apple are much more valuable that MS these days and its too late to change that)
2. There may not even be a console to buy. MS are losing value VERY fast, and have been suggested lots of times to drop thei gaming division all together. Get comfy with a console with no games, because unless they pull a miracle out of their ass its going to stay that way
