| mrstickball said: libellule - I find it interesting that the Xbox has no brand name, has outsold the Playstation brand this generation. Could you define how the Xbox 360 is a hardcore targeted console, when E rated games usually sell better on the Xbox 360? |
it has not outsold the PS brandname during all the gen, it has outsold it mostly because of a better pricing and the early release.
People bought Xbox360 because they could not bought PS3
(the 500k sales number of the Slim show it ...)
When u have a PS3 at 399euros and the xbox360 is 139euros (arcade in France), it is easy to see which one is more competitive
the second price cut in PAL before Xmas changed everything last year !
Again, without the 199$ arcade, the Xbox360 would not have outsold the PS3 like it did last Xmas
My point : Brandname is important, pricing is more
Also, I completely agree that, for the next gen, I will consider that Xbox is enought famous and respected to be a good brand name.
And about the hardcore targeted console, come on, if it was casual, considering the price, it should sell a lot better !
again, wait and see : Natal has potential but it is just potential for the moment.
Time to Work !
