lol, how can you possibly think this... .did Microsoft quit after their failure that was the Xbox? Why would Sony quit with a console that did better. |
The Xbox wasn't a failure..... technology-wise when it was far more superior in power to the PS2. In addition, it came in second place. What made the Xbox suck was the lack of games. It's not Microsoft's fault Sony acquired 90% of third parties on their side during Microsofts first go. Microsoft made them eat it this gen by taking the most popular 3rd party games on their system. If Microsoft can pump out some good first and second party this gen while keeping third party coming in, they will have a very good fanbase for next gen.

he didnt say it wont have a good fan base next gen, or that it doesnt this gen, he said xbox was a failure and he's right it kinda was
|
The Xbox didn't fail, Microsoft killed it to put all their efforts into the 360, if microsoft would have kept up support for xbox the system for at least one more year, the xbox probably would have sold around 35 million, which is around N64 numbers and I don't think anyone can call Nintendo 64 a failure, it was a successful system and made profit for nintendo, Microsoft was loosing too much money on every xbox sold because of the contracts they had with Nvidia for the GPU, thats why with 360 microsoft switched to ATI for their GPU.

for at least one more year? you think it would have sold 9 million in one year, you really are stupid i thought this thread was a joke to make a fanboy battle, but you genuinly belive this is the ps3's last console, in the words of buzz lightyear "you sad sad little man "you can say what you want but that didnt happen did it, what hapend was it sold 24 million over 5 years and failed no ifs or buts, it failed. dont bother responding I wont rise to you anymore

Microsoft stopped making the origional xbox in 2004 thats 3 years, so I don't know where you got 5 years from.
The origional xbox was on store shelves for a little over 3 years if you average it out that is 8 million systems per year for 3 years, therefore 24 million sold, so it wouldn't be impossible for xbox to sell 9 million more in a year if given the chance.

What world were you living in?
Microsoft didn't stop production of the Xbox until atleast after the 360 was released, so the earliest they pulled the plug is late 2005 or even early 2006, either way, that's 4 years, so it sold an average of 6 million units a year, which isn't enough for it to have reached your proposed 35 million in one more year. Your fantasy looks even less likely when you consider that the Xbox's sales took a nosedive after the 2004 holiday season.
