| Impulsivity said: How is this a good benchmark when being 5th means having less then a 7th of the total hardware sales being 14th brings? The only really good news here is that the Xbox has been separated from Microsoft as a company to an extent which given the popularity of everything else Microsoft (Zune, Vista, Windows Mobile ect) is quite the blessing. As to the mentions I have no idea how they are finding more Xbox mentions then Nintendo mentions, the only thing I can think of is that a lot of Wii users are younger and thus less likely to update on social networks (and in many cases their profiles are not searchable in the same way as adult profiles because of child predator concerns). I am constantly inundated with Wii crap from other peoples facebook updates and almost never have come across anything about the 360 (or to be honest the PS3). Apple/iphone domination is spot on though especially amongst my college going peers. In my 4 years at UCSD its gone from maybe 20% mac laptops on campus to well over half now. I even know more then a handful of people who actually have Apple logo tattoos, as scary a thought as that is. Maybe that tattoo thing is partially due to the better branding, an apple logo fits much better on a woman's lower back then an Xbox 360 logo with that ubiquitous tagline "jump in". The only way to describe that tattoo on the lower back would be...awkward. |
It is not so surprising to have more xbox mentions. Here is what has been searched for more on Google. And you are right, this has nothing to do with sales.
