Greenberg says Reach will be the biggest game of 2010

Aaron Greenberg lookin silly.Microsoft had a great November. The Modern Warfare 2 launch pushed through 4.2 million units, nearly a million more than Halo 3 did at launch. Among other things, the 360 outsold the PS3, even though overall sales were down year on year. Microsoft’s product management director, Aaron Greenberg, had a lot to say on the matter, but the most notable was his prediction for Halo: Reach.

“I feel confident that there’s nothing that will compare in size. Halo: Reach will be the biggest game of 2010.”

So what else releases in 2010? Here’s a short list:
-StarCraft II
-Mass Effect 2
-God of War III
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Gran Turismo 5

Greenberg thinks the Master Chief can beat every one of those. A few on the list, sure, but GT5? Final Fantasy XIII for the West? I have my doubts.

Reading Material: Joystiq Interview With Xbox’s Aaron Greenberg

Xbox's Aaron Greenberg.I’m starting this column as a way to transfer the interesting and entertaining articles I get to read most of the day to you guys. These are mostly articles that I can’t appropriately rehash here without some pretty serious plagiarism and a lot of extra time I simply don’t have.

This week’s entry comes courtesy of Joystiq and Xbox’s Aaron Greenberg. Greenberg sat down with Joystiq this week to discuss the rollout of Microsoft’s new Xbox 360 price structure. The interview is long, so don’t get in there unless you’ve got some time free to do a good bit of reading.

Greenberg was gracious enough to cover everything from basic competitive strategies for dealing with Sony to holiday release titles to services destined for Xbox Live glory. Of interest to most of you will probalby be Greenberg’s take on Hulu or Amazon Unbox coming to the 360. He says seeking those sorts of services is akin to, “asking out a really hot chick on a date, they don’t all say yes.” Sorry gamers, Hulu is just out of your league. Why don’t you stick to what you know, like paying for your television content the Microsoft way.

The rest of the interview is a good way to catch up if you’ve been on a desert island for some time now. It’s like a survey course in recent Xboxian history. Hit the link below for the full article.
