Nick Chester Writes:
Chosen as an introductory game for all owners of Kinect for Xbox 360, Kinect Adventures could and should be considered the first piece of software for Microsoft’s ambitious motion sensing camera. In many ways its a fleshed out tech demo, a proof of concept for both developers and consumers, the game that shows off just what the hardware is capable of.
If you’re purchasing Kinect hardware, you’re getting Kinect Adventures, no questions -- it comes bundled with the sensor. But is it any good, a title that shows off the bright future of controller-free gaming?
Want to know what the the best selling Xbox 360 games of all time are? Well look no further, as we delve deep into this consoles' catalogue.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, the PSP, the Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation 3. This week it's the turn of Microsoft's second home console, the Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 is the seventh best-selling video game platform in history and the fifth best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the second best-selling home console not released by Sony and has thus far sold 84.97 million units lifetime."
Interesting to see the difference between consoles, when compared to the previous "10 best" article.
This really shows the success of Kinect. It was bundled but so where other games on the competitions console, and none of those made the list in the last article.
360 has 3 times as many exclusives as the last article on the PS3 as well, a testament to the phenomenon that is Halo. Halo 5 has only been out a week but has outsold almost every other current gen exclusive.
Still a lot of the same multi-platform games though.
Edit @Men, that's it 10m
I would have expected much more considering GT has been around since 1996 and halo 2001. Also consider the 100m PS1s, 150m PS2, compared to ZERO MS consoles in the 1996 - 2001 and just 24m Original Xbox.
Could you post the numbers for those games on PS3 and 360 so we can see an apples to apples comparison?
I expected the COD titles for sure. Didn't know that Kinect adventures was such a hot seller though. Pretty interesting.
Michael and Gavin are back withe more Play Pals playing Kinect Adventures.
good stuff
