Homerun Battle 3D reveals the secrets to expanding the lifespan of a game on iTunes
Los Angeles, CA.,-October 21, 2009 – With over 70,000 applications on the App Store but only 100 apps in the Top Paid section, the importance in the lifespan of an app has become increasingly important. So then how does an application survive the onslaught of new application that are being submitted every day? And what prevents a game from falling off into the oblivion after reigning in the Top Paid App section? HOMERUN BATTLE 3D, developed by Com2uS, has displayed a clear and distinct success to maintain a solid ranking while satisfying customer needs.
Released in June 2009, Homerun Battle 3D started off with the title Baseball Slugger and was a game that most users expected to be a hardcore baseball-fan only game. However, with clever marketing strategies and easy-to-use game play, that can turn the most casual gamers to a home run fanatic, Com2uS has been able to outlast most Top Paid games. Despite a great game play and hours of re-playability, what was the key to their success? General Manger of Com2uS America states, “The three marketing strategies we focused on were: regular updates to fulfill customer needs, licensing of DeMarini, and a Lite version”
Com2uS has updated Homerun Battle 3D nine times to add features to the game that users request. Now with Homerun Battle 3D’s most anticipated update, version 1.3.0, the game will sport over 100 new items with 3 fully packaged uniforms from the famous DeMarini. Aside from the DeMarini packaged equipment, Homerun Battle has added a myriad of costumes from Samurais to Biker outfits. Some of the items can be purchased through gold balls while others are sold as In-App Purchase items.
Com2uS has also released a Lite version of their game that has increased their exposure of the game. As of October 21, 2009 Homerun Battle 3D is: Top Paid Games rank 40, Top Free Games rank 28, and Top Grossing App rank 37. With all the attention that the game has received, Apple has featured their game in TV commercials in U.S.A, Japan, Australia, and France.

Capsule Computers : What’s the full story behind your gamertag : Major Nelson ?
Major Nelson : When I started working for the Xbox team, I decided I needed Gamertag that the community could contact me through. I came home one night and my Tivo had recommended an old 60’s TV show called I Dream Of Jeannie. As I watched this show, I realied that Major Nelson (the main characters name) was living a great life: He was an astronaut, lived on the beach and was really having a great time. I thought what a perfect gamertag! (Disclaimer: I am not, nor ever was an astronaut. I also don’t live on a beach…yet) Now I also must tell you that I do have a private Gamertag that I’ve had since the early Xbox LIVE Beta 🙂
Capsule Computers :How long have you been at Xbox / Microsoft and what’s your Xbox 360 Tenure number ?
Major Nelson :I have been at Microsoft almost 10 years. Major Nelson’s tenure is 5
Capsule Computers :Your weekly podcast is now the longest running Microsoft podcast in the History. What do you believe is the secret to its success. What new features can you bring to the podcast to keep it fresh and interesting to your listeners ? One such suggestion for your podcast .. Would you considered Co-Hosts such as fans from across the world to participate in your weekly podcast.
Major Nelson :Thanks for the kind words. There are a couple of elements that may lead to the successful show. One is the audio quality. I try to make the show sound as good as possible. That requires a lot of time and investment in equipment and production time. The second is that I have evolved the show in many ways. Due to my position on the Xbox team, I am afforded access to some of the top names in the gaming industry…so guests certainly add a lot to the show. Secondly, I now have two co-hosts. e and lollip0p. These are two very smart people I work with at Xbox who work on very different parts of the business. They held provide a unique view from their vantage point on the daily topics.
Capsule Computers :What does Major Nelson get up to when he is not working ? What are your hobbies ? What do you do in your free time ?
Major Nelson :I enjoy spending time with my wife. She makes me laugh and she is a lovely lady who is very understanding of what I do. Beyond that I enjoy all the basic geek fun stuff: Technology, gadgets, SciFi and of course gaming.
Capsule Computers :What is your favourite holiday destination and why ?
Major Nelson :I’ve never been to Bora Bora. That to me sounds like what I expect to be my paradise 🙂
Capsule Computers :Have you ever considered coming down to visit Australia for work or pleasure ? Major Nelson has quite a large following of fans down-under. Do you have any plans to visit the sunny shores of Australia anytime soon ?
Major Nelson :I have been to Australia! I thoroughly enjoyed my time there when I was down for the Xbox Water Balloon toss in Sydney. It was a once in lifetime experience and I can’t wait to get back to enjoy more of the country.

There you have it. Capsule Computers would like to thank Larry (Major Nelson) once again for his time in answering these questions and we wish him all the best in the future. Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping all the Xbox fans around the world updated with all the latest news.
