Even if the PS3 outsells the 360 this generation, Microsoft will still consider themselves successful because they will still have successfully expanded their user base compared to the first xbox and they will have made the xbox division profitable. What good is marketshare if you squander all your profits to get it? |
while i agree xbox has become more popular, i dont think its right to say they have "expanded" their userbase. so far 360 has sold what, 14.5 million? the original xbox sold about 24 million. until the 360 surpasses 24 million by a significant margin, its hard to say if the 360 has captured alot more gamers. thats the way i see it anyway. |
Unless some sort of meteorite hits the planet earth or something we can safely assume X360 will sell over 24M. |
well, to be fair, it took 2 years for the 360 to reach 14 million. for all you know sales could slow down in the next two years. it may just sell over 25 million in the next few years. 2008 is a new year and the tide could turn, especially now that it has a much greater lineup to compete against. but i do think 360 is much more likely to sell over 30 million, i also think the chance of it not selling that much over 24 million is a high enough possibilty not to rule out. but, once agin, its just my opinion.
