| mrstickball said: Diomedes. To be fair, the X360 is selling at the same rate as the Xbox, despite being litterally twice as expensive.. People invision the X360 and Xbox on some magical playingfield that says that all that matters is that it's selling the same. Should it really? 6 months in, the Xbox was $200, after a $100 price drop. 19 months in, the X360 gets a price drop, and it's sold the same as the Xbox did worldwide (or about 10% better), despite being $400 USD for the normal model. |

Today I have to jump on the 360 bandwagon for this particular thread because I disagree, was hoping for more support from mr stick lol
IMO I disagree with this notion that 360 is in so much trouble. How is it that we can say the 360 is in trouble when monthly it is WIDENING its gap worldwide vs the PS3? Am I the only one who doesn't exactly consider the 360 to be on its last "leg" until the PS3 actually starts to GAIN some ground? I mean cmon! We are basically saying 360 needs to get in gear based on a hypothetical issue that MIGHT happen in which the PS3 starts to move some substantial units. Right now we know the Wii is in its own little world, so when I look and judge the 360's success I look at profitability and sales vs its clear cut competitor the PS3. It had a 1 year head start and has managed to consistently fend off the PS3 worldwide month to month despite being an almost non issue in Japan.
People talk about how the PS3 is going to eventually start to kick up and go, and yes, it will. MGS4 and FF will be huge, but Jesus, it will just be cancelled out by the enormous amounts of massive damage Halo GTA and others are about to do THIS year. I dont know man, I just have a serious problem with saying the 360 is in a make or break situation based on some stuff people have been saying the last 8 months that HASNT come to pass. Ill start to worry about MS's stronghold on (1st or 2nd) place this gen when the PS3 begins to show itself as an actual threat. Im just not going to do that while the multiplats are better on 360, from the extra content to the framerates. Theres just no way. And dont even get me started on the fact that it will undoubtly reach that magic $199 alot faster than the PS3, and thats where the gens seem to REALLY be decided.
