I don't understand why Halo 3 seems like such a big deal, I already own a 360 and have NO interest in this game. In fact, I get the feeling only the hardest of hardcore Xbox owner's want this game. I also think most of these gamers already have a 360. |
Halo kept the Xbox afloat last gen.
Halo 2 | Microsoft | 0.11 | 6.46 | 1.67 | 8.24 | |
Halo | Microsoft | 0.10 | 4.91 | 1.42 | 6.43 |
This is why Halo is such a big deal. The first Halo sold to 26% of all Xbox owners and Halo 2 sold to 33% of all Xbox owners.
I see two things Microsoft could do. One would be ultra smart, the other would be, eh ... financially smart. Financially smart would be waiting until after the Halo craze to cut the price of the 360 by $100. Ultra smart would be cutting it before Halo. This would help push 360 sales back above the PS3 before Halo, and then it would continue to outsell the PS3 through the holidays.
I don't think MS is ultra smart though.
