DICE: Was 2007 Xbox 360’s Peak?
2007 was a stellar year for Xbox 360’s software library—but can Microsoft pull it off again in ‘08? Microsoft’s Shane Kim, expectedly, believes so.In a one-on-one interview between Microsoft Game Studios VP Kim and New York Times reporter Seth Schiesel during the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, Schiesel pointed out how Xbox 360’s 2008 software lineup pales in comparison to a year that saw BioShock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, The Orange Box and other heavy hitters.
The 2008 games lineup just doesn’t seem as “stacked” as last year, Schiesel said.
“I think the pipeline is very stacked. You just don’t know about it,” Kim laughed coyly.
But at a glance, it would seem that Microsoft’s exclusive library has taken a potential hit. Last year, Activision acquired Bizarre Creations, developer of Project Gotham Racing, a franchise that is synonymous with racing on Xbox platforms.
