Mattrick Returns: Mattrick And Moore Discuss His New Position At Microsoft
...
GI: Thats exciting. You have Halo in the stable. Whats the next big thing from Microsoft Game Studios?
Peter Moore: Well, Crackdown just shippedand by the way is doing phenomenally well. Were getting calldownswell, were 48 hours into it, but the numbers look very, very strong. Then were of course youve got Forza 2, youve got Mass Effect, youve got Too Human, Halo you mentioned. Youve got Project Gotham Racing 4there a tremendous slate of titles from MGS in there. And also exclusive to the platform this year will be Bioshock and the next Splinter Cell from Ubisoft. And of course, old news now, but GTA4 day and date was very important to us for this calendar year. All signs are Rockstar will be able to deliver in October, as per their commitment last year. So, I add it all up together, and Im able to bring the thread that is Xbox Live across all these experiences and then add Shadowrun into the mix, which will be the first cross-platform game for us, that will also come from MGSIm feeling pretty good about the content lineup. I probably missed a title or two there, but those are the titles that spring to mind now that I think are going to continue to move the needle forward in calendar year 07
