According to a
top ten list of all
Xbox Live Arcade purchases,
Midway's classic arcade titles,
Gauntlet and
Smash TV are selling extremely well, ranking second and third respectively. Topping the list is the ever addictive,
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.
These sales statistics should bode extremely well for
Midway's continued support of the
Xbox Live Arcade. This success should also raise the probability of the
Mortal Kombat series making an appearance in the
Xbox Live Arcade. Luckily with the
planned Street Fighter II release on
Xbox Live in March,
Midway is going to have some significant pressure on them to come up with an experience that is on par with what
Capcom is
planning on delivering.
But will
Midway shun the development time and push out the release as quickly as possible in order to turn a quick buck? Or will they take the time to make sure the experience is as deep and rich as
SFII is planning to be? Let us know your prediction.
