| saimcheeda said: Xbox 360 has been more successful then Playstation 3 in the last 2 years, Xbox 360 was dominating Playstation 3 in both hardware & software sales but 2009 has been dry for Xbox. According to a series of recent reports by the research group DFC Intelligence, the game industry is poised to see enormous overall growth in 2009,DFC estimates that the videogame market will swell to $47 Billion by 2009, a 42 percent increase over the $33 billion generated by the industry in 2006. That forecast includes revenue from videogame hardware and software. As we all know that Playstation 3’s this year exclusive line-up is great and is already helping Sony get some decent sales, But Microsoft seems to be doing nothing in order to get their share from that $47 Billion there is no exclusive that is sure to make a splash this year. I think Microsoft is already too late even if they announce some exclusives or yet another batch of (Paid For Exclusive DLC’s) they won’t be able to release them this year, I would suggest that we should sit back and relax this year and hope that next year won’t be the same as this. I am sure Microsoft have some aces up their sleeves but shouldn’t they be rolled out by now. |
It's funny to read this thread after reading March's NPD results. The 360 is up YoY everywhere and you're asking when it's going to accept defeat? Sony is currently trying to spin the sales of RE5 as a success, you know the same game where they got soundly thumped by sales of the same game on another console that has never even seen the series before
It'll be interesting to see if Sony follows the lead of Sony Ericsson, which reported a spectacular loss yesterday even after restructuring. It seems to be mirroring Sony in losing marketshare and racking up impressive losses.
