More info on Revolution

[sharplayer]

I am going to do a quicky one on this on so here it goes. IGN (http://www.ign.com) has posted a Mailbag special. Community asks the questions, Mark answers the questions ( *caugh*)...who ever he is.

"Do you think we'll see small, first party games produced specifically for distribution through the Rev's online service?"

"A couple of interesting side notes. First, Xbox Live Arcade is actually off to a great start. Some of the publishers I chatted with said that their games have been selling quite well on the service. Evidently Geometry Wars has sold more than 60,000 copies, too, according to insiders. Microsoft offers 70 percent of Arcade profits to publishers, keeping 30 percent for itself. I wonder if Nintendo will be so generous? If not, it could run into some support problems."

I know we're still waiting on footage and information for ANY game so far, but I think the Revolution will be top class.

I'm not buying into any of this "each company may take all the profits made from each game" thing, because I really don't think Nintendo would let that happen. At least, I hope not anyway, seeing as it would allow companies like EA to charge whatever the hell they like, and that would be rubbish.

Yeah see what you mean but when you think about it was there any decent EA games released. I hated the sport ones,well they were all right but I wouldnt download them.
The world is not enough was quite good but thats only one. And you could say MICROSOFT have their own mini game sorta thing with the ARCADE
