GamerBytes study shows disappointing sales for XNA Community Games

Mar 30th 2009 5:21PM (Joystiq)
People already buy (or rent) games just for points. Whole communities exist around achievement whoring. I can get several hundred points with a single day of a rental, giving XNA games the same points that XBLA games would have next to no effect. I'm awed that anyone would propose that XNA games having achievements would somehow devalue achievement points as though they actually had any value to begin with.

I'm an XBLA junkie and even I consistently forget that the XNA games even exist. It almost seems set up to fail, from the fact that they're kind of tucked away and Microsoft does little to make the general audience aware of them down to the fact that they're hamstrung by the lack of achievements (which a lot of people care about enough that they'd rather spend $5 for a mediocre XBLA game with achievements than a decent XNA game without them).

Hmmm...tough one...I think I'll go with the first Mega Man, the only one of the series I played. It was fun, but frustrating enough that I didn't want to play the future installments.

I've only played a few of his games, but Parasite Eve kicked ass so I'm going to say that's my favorite.
