Well, not quite. But less than a week after my article, ‘How the XBOX 360 Failed‘, Microsoft quickly redeemed themselves by annoncing a software suite that will allow novice developers to create and share their own games on the XBOX 360.
“Microsoft is trying to change that. Today the company is expected to announce the fall release of a product called XNA Game Studio Express, a basic version of the company’s game authoring tools that will let aspiring designers write games on a PC and test them on an ordinary Xbox 360. (To test games, the designer pays $99 a year to translate the game from the PC into the Xbox format.)”
