Lost Planet Sales & New Xbox 360 Platinum Hits
The first bit of news today is that Xbox 360 exclusive Lost Planet was the top selling game for January. You can be sure that Capcom is looking at those figures when thinking about Devil May Cry 4’s future and that Konami is also taking note when it comes to their big name titles. Nobody is going to ignore the system with the biggest install base, especially when that same system is the one with the best developer tools and support, not to mention the premiere online platform.
There was also an official announcement of more games joining the $29.99 Platinum Hits line, there are the following:
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (Electronic Arts)
- Burnout Revenge (Electronic Arts)
- Call of Duty 2 (Activision)
- Dead or Alive 4 (TECMO Inc.)
- Fight Night Round 3 (Electronic Arts)
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Ubisoft)
- Top Spin 2 (2K Sports)
- Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Rockstar Games)
This goes into effect on March 16th.

Wow. Capcom games are selling an assload. It would be financial suicide for Capcom to NOT release future games on at least both PS3 and 360. But once PS3 has a solid sales base, the chance of 360-only games will be slim to none. Well at least it had two kick ass exclusives…

Asky,
Nice find, front page material. I had heard Mercenaries 2 was coming but I couldn’t believe that it wouldn’t come to the 360. That would just be a dumb move from a pure financial stand point. But after reading that it is coming, another light shines on the 360.
