I don't. But being a developer, I know about this.

Bollocks. Consumer sales are easily accessible. All console manufacturers release their NPD numbers. Except when they get fucked over, in which case the person who wins tells everyone. 360 has led sales for more than a year. Microsoft have not been shy about announcing that. Nintendo and Sony haven't been so vocal on…

Sony doesn't count shipped instead of sold? [www.digitaltrends.com] One of many examples of them doing exactly that. The sales numbers are not "inflated". They come from NPD. Here's just one of many links showing the numbers sold just for Febraury. You'll notice the 360 is at the top, for the 14th straight month: [www.…

Yet casual XBLA games cost a fraction to develop and can bring in very healthy numbers. I believe Fruit Ninja Kinect has shifted over 1,000,000 copies. What do you reckon was spent to port that over compared to what's been made in profit? There's obviously money to be made in that area.

If the Obsidian rumours are true, then they at least claim to have been in development for the next Microsoft hardware for 7 months already. If true, we'll have hardware on shelves before 2014.

"obviously the 360 is dying" Despite the facts and numbers showing that it isn't, right?

"MS counts shipped as sold, which Sony does not." Couldn't fit more wrong into that statement with a crowbar.

How is it not going to help them? Sales are incredibly healthy and seems to be trending upwards. Why kill that off, especially when there's nothing on the horizon to take away from it?

"...it also outsold all other TV-connected devices like DVD players" I'm a big Microsoft fan and 360 gets more playing time than any other console I own, but: Bollocks. Utter bollocks. Not only do I not believe for a second that statement is true, there's no possible way for them to know that. They're not letting Phil…

"I would say that 24 to 36 month development window isn't that farfetched" Yes, it is.

What's the stuff falling off the shuttle right after lift-off?

Pretty sure you'll get a Gamecube memory card for less than the cost of this game.

Or course framerate is something that's always on their mind. They know what poly throughput they expect the engine to handle and that's all that needs to be considered at this point. Getting consistent FPS and other optimisation is something that is dealt with very late on, not at this stage. I've been involved in…

If it was 15% to 20% just 8 weeks ago, it hasn't progressed too much. Frame rate is also something dealt with late in the game, not something you worry about at 25% in.

Keeping equipment in the dark is a fantastic idea in case anyone breaks in or happens to walk by. They don't just let anyone have a light, you know.

Sure. A survey of 200 women is conclusive of what women like.

Do you even know what's in the BBC catalogue? Are you British or at least have lived in the country for a decent length of time?

Already available on DVD and BluRay if someone wants it.

Interesting. The average development window for a launch title is 12 to 18 months. You say this title was for the next Xbox and already 7 months in? Well, hello new Xbox announcement at E3 and launched for Christmas.

"...with development at around the 15-20% mark..."
