XBLA sales up 200%, looking to continue its hot streak |
Ó
Microsoft was quite pleased with how summer turned out for Xbox Live Arcade, with three releases topping the XBL charts coming from Summer of Arcade - Shadow Complex, Trials HD and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Thanks to Summer of Arcade, XBLA sales shot up 200%. It won't stop there - there's more to come on XBLA to close out the season, so despite the cool breeze starting to blow, the heat ain't over for Microsoft just yet.
“It’s clear that we’ve had an incredibly successful summer, and the Xbox LIVE community loves the innovative gaming experiences we deliver” said Scott Austin, director of digitally distributed games at XBL. “We are the leader in digitally distributed games, have the best partners in the industry and work closely with them to offer the best in downloadable content and entertainment.”
With the new Games on Demand service, plus other titles like 1 vs. 100, the archive now boasts over 40 different titles available for download 24-7 at Xbox Live Arcade.
Hold up, there's more. The avatar-driving Joy Ride is also set to hit XBLA, so start dressing them up if you want to look cool in a car. Strike while the iron's hot, so they say. Microsoft's getting ready to chuck out more for the online service, so we'll be keeping a lookout for that barrage.
Joy Riding is not all your Avatars are gonna be playable in:

this is pathetic compared to the PS3's +999%
just throwing that in
seeing that MS likes to trash talk quite a lot
You mean the +999% increase from the previous week's very low sales? IIRC the ps3 only sold 5k units on that week hence the +999% increase.
It has to be better...you pay for it...it just has to but that mean sony can slack about it...they need to step up cuz the American and EUR PS Store suck...the JPN has nice updates
well isnt +999 still a big leap?
even if the % cut in half, its still quite impressive
@ fearlubu
LOL You're an idiot!
haru3173 speaks the truth.
