I'm so surprised on how poorly the 360 is doing in Europe. They have a year and a half head start, they have AAA titles and a great library... and they're going to lose Europes first xmas battle??? That's sad.

I'd be firing all the top management in Europe (other then UK). Seriously some messed up marketing and business planning.

it's funny you say that. i'd fire the people responsible for the abysmal failure rate. Which ties directly into marketing, business planning and quality perception.

I think it's sad that so many people from Japan and Other don't buy 360 just because it's made by an American company.

I'm not japanese nor do I live in europe, but i go with what i know to be good. For example, I will only buy japanese cars. That's all i've ever owned and they've good to me so why would i even consider something else? same idea for game consoles.

 i think it goes beyond being an american company. better quality perception and games might help.

 

 

I fired those people in my last rant... now I'm moving up to upper management ... ;)

I agree with the quality perceptions, even though its been addressed and corrected with the new units and 3 year warranty. Again, I believe its a failure in the management to not have addressed that to their customers.

Oh and your wrong on the games department, the 360 has a higher quality and more diverse library then the other 2 systems.

Thats the worst analysis ever made. There are other factors to why it isnt selling well in those regions.

One really f-ed up bad assumption.

 

I think it's the other way around.

NA buys alot xboxes, cause it's made from an NA company.

Wrong... for the simple fact that the NA company is Microsoft. No one likes Microsoft, even MS knows that no one likes Microsoft. Look at the 360 boxes, you won't find the word Microsoft other then in small print on the back. And let's not forget that 99% of us in NA where raised on Japanese consoles.

Sony FINALLY has 19% of the market. Been sitting at 18% for a while.

The price drop at this time of the year was a good idea, but we'll have to wait till Jan. to see if it will have any long term effects.

SONY might lose that 19 % after america and japan sales come in, although it is nice to see it is cathcing up.

 so Nintendo and Microsoft both sold over 7.5 million consoles in one week? thats the only way Sony would lose 19% of it's market. 

You misunderstood him, he meant going back to 18% share... also your comment doesn't add up. 

Sony will go back to 18% if their sell ratio for NA and Japan is less then 0.9:5 against Nin and MS combined. 

Example - Sony NA/Japan Sells 500k combined, then Wii+360 would need to sell 2,770k for Sony to go back to 18% (18.8% to be exact)
