Why dont people understand. Obviously Idol is going to have more viewers. USA has a population of ~300 million people. But compared to the UK, X Factor is just as big. Look at it this way. Around 1/6 of the Uk pop watch X Factor, only 1/10 USA pop watch American Idol. Get it now

Who cares of pourcentages.

American Idol still has 2-3 times more viewers than X Factor.

so how would an American Idol ad help to promote the Xbox360 in UK?

Who cares of UK.

lol

 

I just said that they would have more viewers if they were to advertise the 360 during American Idol. I know it's not the same country and I know UK people don't watch American Idol but it's not right to say that X Factor is as big. It might be bigger when talking about proportions but not in terms of viewers.

 

MS wants to advertise the Xbox 360 in UK and thats the best freaking way to do so.  The OP just said X factor for the UK is basically as big as American Idol for the US. And he is right. So would you please stop bitching now?

Bitching what? I think you just don't understand.

I agree that X factor for the UK is as big if not bigger as American Idol for the US but what I said (I'll highlight it so that it looks more clear to you) is that what's important for a company is the amount of people and not a pourcentage of population or a proportion.

 

Now let's try to see if you understand with a question: Which ad would cost the most (in terms of money of course), an X factor ad or an Amercan Idol ad?

 

It sure is the best solution to advertise the 360 in UK but we were comparing both shows. No need to get sentimental over this.
