value my friend it is all about perceived value. You don't sell something that good for nothing.

Xbox Love is nowhere near that kind of value.

 

... says the XBL non-user...

This is not what the thousands and thousands of XBL users think. The system generates more than a billion of revenues.

I don't think people pay for nothing ... but hey you can't beat the figures.

I play on Live all the time. I used to own a 360, and all my friends have 360.

All I am saying is that the cheapest 360 becomes the price of a ps3 when you introduce Live into the equation.

I just don't think it is worth it when you put the numbers together. It is justified when at the end of the month you look at your bill and it is only 8$. It's psychological marketing, making it seem like a small thing.

 

@Garnett

Being exclusive has benefits for the developer as well as the platform. Not every company has to be paid. In fact Sony is paying zilch for a lot of their now exclusives because they are smaller companies, like rockstar was. When companies get big, they like to make multiplatform games instead.

Can we get a mod or someone who knows a little bit more than the average user to come in here and back me up wtf.

 

 

I can understand SMALL developers,but by GTA Vice city rawkstar was HUGE,No reason why keep it on the weakest console of the gen,The only advantage of being a exclusive developer is that you can master the system.
