now you are just drunk it can't be that people are buying $299 hw and then just can't buy software and it just simply can't be that all have been doing it as 360 HW have been alot and SW have barely moved. |
When i bought my 360 i bought 4 or 5 games with it, all of them were second hand, with that im saying that, of course, lots of people are upgrading, probably the major chunk of the new sales are upgrades, but you have to consider also that many are from people with other consoles, that always wanted a 360 but never felt comfortably buying one, because it might broke down, but with the redesign they feel its safe to buy one now ,and these are gamers that are well informed and know how to get cheap games
Because the slim is still a novelty, it will always attract existing gamers first be it existing 360 owners or other console owners, but when kinect launches thats when we will see if microsoft can attract new buyers in mass numbers
As i see it, microsoft as played a brilliant strategy so far, as far as i can tell each slim is making profit(?) so resells are good for microsoft but the big question is still unanswered, will the slim with kinect attract new buyers, thats the big question now that the following months will answer
