At this point, it's pretty much a given. When publishers release new downloadable maps for their shooters, they sell them for 800 MS Points. At least, that's the case when they know that they
can. Sure,
COD4 and
Halo 3 players will pay 800 MS Points for a handful of maps. Both games have so many players that the publishers are bound to sell enough content to make money (it doesn't hurt that gamers
have to download maps if they plan on playing with their map owning friends). When your title doesn't even
crack the Live top ten, some more strategic planning is required. Thus, the
Turok Velociraptor Pack, which contains 5 new maps (more than either of the
upcoming packs for
COD4 or
Halo 3), will
debut tomorrow for a mere 400 MS Points.
Touchstone also announced that
Turok has shipped over 1 million units worldwide. No easy feat given the competition mentioned above. If you'd like to get your hands on one of those copies, don't forget to enter our
Turok giveaway, which runs until Friday afternoon.
