| RolStoppable said: I am fast, because that's my job. Anyways... Microsoft is desperately trying to sell to more demographics (hence staged Kinect demos with actors at their E3 conference), Sony just began to make some money back on the intially huge PS3 losses and Nintendo's stock has dropped to a five year low. With the announcement that 10 million Kinects had been sold also came the news that 10 million standalone Kinect games had been sold, so essentially every person who owns Kinect bought one game for it over the course of six months. That's not flocking to a device, rather such a low tie ratio suggests consumer dissatisfaction. |
So you're a glass-half-empty person. Noted.
Again, I question what your industry standard is for 'flocking to a device'. For a time this was the fast selling consumer electronic device debut. This even during a still horrible economy (I sure don't have one due to finances & other things ...). Such a low ratio as you noted to me has to do more with quality of software released and a lack of Q1/Q2 releases. People are also purchasing the device and enjoying the non-gaming features of it, which continue to grow and improve.
See, it's not all bad news. Context gives a more balanced view, one that MS has a better feel for than we do.
