Now be for you read this most news not if all will be copyed and pasted from gameing news websites.


The day before Home launched I got a (clearly unrelated) briefing from Xbox product manager Aaron Greenberg and I brought up this topic. I asked: When/how/how-often will we see cheap clothing options for our Xbox 360 Avatars available for paid download?

“I don’t think there’s where you’re going to see a tremendous amount of revenue,” Greenberg said, phrasing his expression of Microsoft’s disinterest in selling Avatar clothing in way that argues there’s no profit in such a technique. Recently, Microsoft gave away the first batch of new Avatar clothing for free. They don’t think they’re leaving money on the table.

The kind of Avatar upgrading that Microsoft is interested in will involve gamers unlocking items for their Avatars through the games they are playing. The tools for this are now in the hands of developers. So when will we experience the first results? “As soon as developers get it done,” Greenberg said.
