2008 : the last year of the xbox360 ? YES



Time to Work !

Yep, 360 is finished in Europe. In a few months it'll be back to selling below PStwo.



Theres still no advertising in the UK with regards to the price cut............ But once Gears of war 2 hits 360 sales will Explode, Gears 2 advert followed by the message at the end "Console from £129.99"

Winner

Are you retarded or american? Oh well, Same shit.

Casuals don't give a fuck about Gears. It won't do shit. When not even Halo 3 could help you think Gears will?

Halo 3 hasn't been on any European charts for months. Old PS3 exclusives however charts all over Europe still.

People just don't want Xbox in Europe. And NOTHING will ever change that.

It's an american console. It's from Microsoft. Nuff said.

Majority of Gears of War 2 (me included =P) sales will be to same consumers who bought first one so I don't expect that Gears Of War 2 will be big system seller.

Seems UK people are getting smart and realising that they are paying too much for the PS3 "potential" is not the best thing to do,so they buy the cheap 360,play Star Wars,Gears,Halo,Fable,etc and enjoy the 360 "potential".

 

 You do realise that the PS3 and 360 are always neck-and-neck in the UK, with some weeks in the PS3's favour, and some weeks in the 360's favour. So, by your (rather idiotic) definition of the word "smart", at least half the UK people have been there the whole time.

Why so serious ? Why so sensitive ? The point was that if a Resident Evil fan will want to play RE 5 it will have to make a choice - 360 or ps3 ,meaning 180 euro or 400 euro. The same goes for Star Wars,DMC4,Silent Hill,Army of Two,FF13,Golden Axe,Midnight Club,Fracture,etc. Now for the exclusives - Halo 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears 2, Fable 2, Mass Effect 2, Halo Wars, Ninja Blade,Race Pro, etc. Isn`t the 180 euro price tag a little too low? Yes,3 games and you pay the console. So don`t call me an idiot,the price cut is to crush the ps3 this Xmass,and the Wii will be in short supply,so Viva piniata 2 and Banjo 3 will say "hello" to LBP with the help of the marketing department and their millions of dollars THIS Xmass.

 I am retarded you say? I don't think i need to tell you whats about to happen buddy.................

 

Halo 3 hasn't been on any Euro charts for months? Its a year old and has already sold humongous amounts (And its not even available in the 360 classics collection yet) As for Gears 2, Its a proven seller and theres losts of people who had 360's when Gears 1 was out who maybe got rid of them & will return when Gears 2 is released, You don't think casuals give a fook about Gears 2? Your dreaming pal

If nobody in Europe wants a 360 than why is it selling around 200k a month in Europe?

 



         

48% of Force Unleashed sales thats just sick lol
Great job Microsoft



Proud Owner of  a Wii and Xbox 360 and a PS3(When I get the money)

 I wasn't calling you an idiot, I said you're statment was idiotic. There's a difference.

I wasn't being sensitive about you saying that the 360 should outsell the PS3. Hell, I agree with you! (I don't believe that the PS3 deserves to win this christmas, and Microsoft's recent moves should get them to outdo the PS3, possibly even edging it in EU/Jap).

My beef was with your statement "Seems UK people are getting smart" as this implies that anyone who buys a PS3 isn't "smart", and you also generalised an entire country's people based on a few sales figures, that's my beef. Reeling off lists of sequels and blur-fests doesn't change that.
