Xbox 2...15+ Games on Release?
During today's Xbox 2 related browsing I came across this site which reports "According to the latest rumors, the Xbox 360 will debut with roughly 15 to 20 games, with additional waves being released every few weeks." I haven't read any other reports that would validate that information but it seems logical that the Xbox 2 (Xbox 360) will need to have a nice sampling of titles available when the console hits the shelves. After all, who the heck is going to spend $300 - $500 on a console that only has 4 or 5 titles available?
The same article mentions "Halo 2.5". There's speculation that not only will Halo 2.5 be ready at the time the Xbox 360 is released, but that Xbox 360 will come with Halo 2.5 pre installed on the console's hard drive.
I think to really get off to a flying start Microsoft and the Xbox 2 team need to work without pause to make sure the selection of titles available at release has some weight behind it. Without a decent selection of game titles to choose from I think sales will suffer. As I mentioned earlier, who wants to pay top dollar for a system with a handful of games ready?
