Xbox doesnt have the brand power and games to sell "a lot of consoles" outside the US and Halo isnt what it used to be. They tried what you suggest with the 360 -good HW at low price- and in the end PS3 took over. It's all about the games, MS just doesnt have them. They haven't cultivated a 1st party that puts out great IP at healthy intervals, instead relying on their "triforce" and moneyhatting 3rd party exclusives like Bioshock, Mass Effect, GTA IV, COD DLC etc but they were all temporary measures prolonging the arrival of a big ass problem, which is hurting them now. Xbox will never dominate gaming, anyone that believes otherwise just hasn't travelled the world enough to know how weak the brand is outside Merica. It will never sell another 85M. MS doesn't view gaming thru the same lens as Sony and Nintendo. They tried to bruteforce their way in just like Zune and Windows Phone and the fastest way to do that is to buy 3rd party exclusives instead of making them. |
The OP isn't asking what MS can do to "dominate the industry" or outsell Sony or Nintendo, it says return to 360 sales. So when you say "they tried what you're suggesting with the 360" I'll just ignore the irrelevant rest of it and say thanks for agreeing :)
