is thinking this morning that if Sony hadn’t so badly bungled the PS3 launch (in terms of retail price), even Xbox might be selling more today.

I stayed up too late last night checking out some of the Indie Games titles on Xbox. My favorite of the ones I tried was radiangames JoyJoy, a thrilling and beautiful evolution of the twin-stick shooter. It’s innovating within a narrow slice of game design but doing so brilliantly.

I’m really proud of the game and of my teammates. Three weeks to go!

We released this teaser video today showing a Kinect game sending player motion data to a cell phone in realtime so that somebody sitting on your couch can play along with the player jumping around. The basic tech is the interesting part for now, but the teaser’s demo of our Rally Ball game explains the concept well enough. Doing really cool things with the tech is still to come.
