| Squilliam said: Ignoring whether or not it widens the appeal of the 360 its going to move consoles for one simple reason. When 11,000,000 consoles log onto live, the majority don't know this is coming so when it updates you're going to have a lot of people confronted by something completely new and unexpected from their Xbox 360. So pretty much a whole bunch of people are going to end up with the NXE completely out of the blue and a whole bunch of them are going to end up talking about the Xbox 360 and a few of the people talked to will end up being influenced to buy one. Well at least thats my theory, so is it sound? |
It will have a positive impact on the hype of the console. I showed the NXE to a couple of 360 users who where unaware of it and they loved it.
I think the party-content will help in the long shot as well but won't have sensible impact for this XMAS sales.
Now the most important think about NXE is the scalable architecture of the solution. According to MS, NXE it is very easy to develop for the NXE and push new features in production. The goal would be to enhance the system without facing the issue of a maximum of 2 release per year.
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
