dont get me wrong, i will buy this game on day one, but wouldnt the stereotypical 360 gamer (late teens, severe blood lust), prefer a new Conker?  If RARE made a new conker game with all of the profanity, violence and gore, rendered in beautiful HD, with a decent multiplayer component, i think it would do considerably better than banjo.

Just guessing, but maybe it was more popular/sold more and MS wants them to make that rather Conker? I don't know, I'd rather have a new Conker game though.

Banjo appeals to a much larger audiance then Conker, that's why.

  Well for one conker live and reloaded is backwards compatible, Also banjo is a great game to ages 16 and down (imo) why wouldn't you buy it.

Banjo rocks my socks off.

Plus, it's good to seethat Rare went with Banjo instead of Conker (not that i wouldn't love a new Conker) because it goes against the stereotype that all Xbox360 owners want is violence, gore, and bloodshed, you know?  Anywho, it's been a long time since a really good platformer came out, so count me in.

Except anyone older than 12 should realize that there was nothing redeeming about Conker.  It attempted to be "mature" to the point it became immature, the gameplay was garbage, and its was just trash that the kids liked.

Banjo however was actually decent

A new Banjo game is what these people have been asking for because it's the game they had fun with as a child.  They might be in their late teens now but they remember games like Banjo and how much fun it was to play.

Because MS needs to expand the audience of the 360, not simply appeal to the same demographic.  The need more AAA E and T rated games.  Kids play games too, you know?  It'd be nice play something with my nephews and niece that isn't a sports game ...

Well, they need to get a broader audience. Also, most of the blood-lusty teens played Banjo on the N64 before they started comitting mass-suicide :roll:
