Forums - Sales Discussion - GTA IV the beginning of the end of the XBOX 360?

Is this the beginning of the end for '360 is dead' threads?
I sure hope so.



Around the Network

OKAY, I HAVE TO WRITE THIS IN BOLD, SINCE CLEARLY, SOME PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP DURING READING COMPREHENSION CLASS.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT HARDWARE, NOT SOFTWARE.  ABOUT HOW 360 ISN'T AHEAD OF PS3 HARDWARE, ON (ARGUABLY) THE BIGGEST RELEASE OF THE YEAR, THE RELEASE THAT THEY'VE SECURED EXCLUSIVE EPISODIC CONTENT ON, AND ON THEIR CHEAPER CONSOLE.  

THE QUESTION POSED IS, IS THERE ANY OTHER GAME THAT WILL CHANGE THE DIRECTION THAT NA IS GOING (PS3 > 360) OR IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?  

THANKS TO THOSE WHO POSTED, AND DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP IN READING COMPREHENSION CLASS.

AGAIN, PEOPLE PLEASE READ THE OP BEFORE COMING IN, BASHING MY THREAD.  

THIS IS A THREAD ASKING IF THE 360 IS BEGINNING TO BE DEAD IN AMERICA, AFTER THE RELEASE OF GTA IV, AND HOW IT COULDN'T PASS PS3 IN HARDWARE.  NOT A PROCLAIMATION OF 360 BEING DEAD.  AGAIN, THIS IS A QUESTION. USE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS BEFORE BASHING MY THREAD, THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT HAVE DONE THAT.  FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T PLEASE EDIT YOUR POSTS, NOW THAT YOU (HOPEFULLY) UNDERSTAND THIS.

 

GTA IV launched in America and Europe this week, and the American numbers are in.

PS3 has outsold the 360 by a modes 26k units.  

While that isn't a lot, America is 360's biggest market...

If GTA IV, with 360's Exclusive Episodic Content didn't push sales above PS3 this week, what will?

Is GTA IV the beginning of the end for the 360 in America?

You decide.  



@ shameless

Uhh... did I say 360 is dead? No.
I hope this is the beginning of the end of you not using reading comprehension skills. Read the OP, then post again.

kthxby.

 What the hell did you think people were going to say in this thread? You write some flamebait title that will attract every fanboy on this site and then expect people to actually be civilised?

The beginning of the end implies that the 360 is dieing or close to being dead. You wouldn't have posed the question if you didn't believe it was worthy of discussion.



This thread fails miserably. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Both shams and stof are right in criticising you on this thread.
Starcraft would say this thread is trolling.

Exactly, thus proving my point.

It is worthy of discussion.  Some think it is, some think it isn't.  This is a site where we discuss sales... Right?

So we're discussing the sales of the 360.  And my thread title isn't flamebait.  It's a question.  I didn't say it was dead.  That would be flamebait.  Learn the meaning of words before you come and attack me.

@ Shams, Stof, and Grey

Read the title and OP again. I never said it was dying, I merely posed a question, so how can my logic be flawed? It's a question.

Right. you asked a question and we merely answered. I don't see the problem.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

 Oh, fantastic; The thirteen year old's logic of "I didn't actually say the words, so your argument is wrong."

The beginning of the end means death.

Grow up.
