Look at the Ipod...zero penetration...it's crazy when you go to Japan...I walk into electronic stores and it's all stuff I've NEVER seen before, unlike when you go to Singapore, for example. Maybe Natal will provide greater penetration into that market, but ultimately, I don't see Xbox ever gaining much more than 10-15% market share in any given generation. |
I dunno, $ony has a strong hold there, no doubt. But MS may be looking at the future, and not the now, thats what they did with the origional Xbox, and look how that panned out. Just think of the potential if MS could effectively tap into that market.
