With the recent news of Microsoft’s banning the accounts of pirates using modded systems, there is a given fact that a percentage of those people will be purchasing another Xbox360 in the near future. There is an estimate between 600,000 and 1 million systems have been banned. It’s only common sense that Microsoft is going to use the banned 360 console numbers plus the re-purchased console numbers to boost their sales figures, and to add to their next report of Xbox Live accounts for the winter time.
Oddly enough, it seems Microsoft is only banning consoles in US and Canada. There is a reason why Microsoft is only banning in those territories. It’s because US and Canada are the only territories they are currently leading against the PS3, as of now. Sadly, the fact is that the Xbox 360 is the least console in demand right now. With the PS3 being at a 299.99, which is the same price of an Xbox360 Elite, a lot of consumers may sway towards the PS3.
