2009 was a pretty lackluster year for Microsoft's console, all things considered. While sales for the Xbox 360 were up slightly over 2008 for most of the year, there wasn't much growth to be had, which is a problem in year 4 of a console's life cycle. The question is, why?"
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.

Bu bu but Halo will save them! HAHA NOT!
Pretty good article...I'm surprised Xbox 360 did as well as it did in the face of stiff competition.
They pratically didn't have anything in the first party department, Halo Wars, Halo ODST, Forza 3....I'm sure i'm miss some others, but either way that's not exactly a stellar. Lets just say Xbox 360 had in previous years a better first party line up, in my mind.
They did like the article mentioned a pretty good downloadable title in Shadow Complex...and some GTA IV Download-able content.
And 3rd party exclusives were Left 4 Dead 2, and few others i'm forgetting...
