Microsoft has some work to do over in the European region that's for SURE. Maybe they take those blue screen Windows crashes more seriously than we thought, huh? Elephant memory I guess. John Lucas |
Microsoft has in Germany 3 big problems:
1. Brand Name. Microsoft is a bad brand name in Germany, Sony on the other hand is a good one. Thats just the way it is.
2. PC country. Germany is in PC gaming. A lot more that other countrys. Especially for shooter, because a lot of people
3. Low HD adoption rate. Germany is most likely the developed country with the lowest HD adoption rate. That means 1 plus of the 360 isn't that important here.
As far as i can read from forums here, the Wii doesn't have that problem, because a lot of PC gamer wanna try out the pointing ability (for shooters). Think RE4 is selling well here, from what i read in forums. Well, we don't know for sure, because we can't get our fingers on the numbers. Nintendo also sells to the casuals -> Higher sales.
