They put the first HD DVD console gaming out there and from what I have read from other people they had a 16 months lead (I think it was 12 actually). How did they exceeded their own expectations? Is there somewhere they expected to sell that numbers of hardware and they did more than that. Are they, most of the times, above their fiscal year expectations for the XBOX360? |
Yeah, I agree. Considering their dominant position is software, the trouble they got in the gaming market is hardly a success. First, losing billions in the Xbox 1, then losing billions in the RROD debacle, then losing the HD format war with HDDVD, now with the 360 being outsold in its own territory while being cheaper than its competitor (arcade model)...
Sure, you can still say the 360 is more a success than the Xbox 1, but well, it wasn't hard to do, especially releasing alone one year earlier...
