1st of all its not VERY successful. it lost over 1 billion on RROD, it lost a lot of money on launch day and god knows how much money MS spend on money hating playstation games. im not saying its not successful but its not VERY successful.

1. 1 year head start
2. money hating playstation games
3.xbox live


WOW, IF your weren't so biased then maybe you could see that all the money they lost is coming back very fast. IF your logic is true then ps3 is crashing in flames, which it is not.

The exclusive money spent on games is made back from the sales .  rrod is fixed and atleast it shows that they are willing to stick by there product, ps2 never got fixed and the warranty was never extended and how many broke. I went through 3..

I think they are doing great and if natal goes well we will see wii type sales.

reasons for success

xbox live

exclusives stollen from sony

extension of warranty

fixing rrod

exclusive games, halo, gears, mass effect, fable, left 4 dead

extra downloadable content.

1 year head start

FUTURE SUCCESS

NATAL will grab all wii fans looking for a new experience. getting japanese developers hyped about a way to push the japanese market

Money is coming back but its not coming back ''fast''. Its gonna take a while to patch all Xbox 1 's losses ( 6 billion ). I am not gonna argue about PS3 since this thread is not about it. RROD is not far from fixed. Reduced? Yes. Fixed? No. And dont try to compare 360's failure rate with PS2's failure rate. Sony fixed PS2 disc reading error within a year while we can still se people getting RROD 5 yrars after 360's launch.

 

Now you reasons for succses.

Xbox Live - YES

exclusives stolen from Sony - YES

extension of warranty- NO

fixing RROD- its not fixed yet.

exclusive games- YES

Extra DLC- NO (50 million paid to Rockstar games for GTA IV DLC, and there are rumors it might come to PS3)

1 year headstart-obviously YES, its the only reason why its still ahead of PS3
