| MrMafoo said: That's different. How about if I said "These TV's are exactly the same, other then the Sony TV can't be used with Cable Companies"? Sony would never sell a TV. That's a closer example. If the 360 would play every PS3 game, then your example would fit. I have said it a dozen times, and I will probably say it a dozen more before it's all over... Exclusive content sells consoles. The GTA's, COD4's and AC's of the world make little to no difference when selling consoles. It's the Halos, Mass Effects, MGS's, GT's, FF's, and all the other exclusive titles that sell systems. If the 360 had 700 games for it, and the PS3 had the same 700, plus one game that was great that the 360 didn't have, you would never sell a 360. Those 700 games are a wash, as you can get them on both consoles. Exclusive content sells consoles. And when it comes to exclusive content, the PS3 will win (imo). |
Your scenario is fairly impossible. PS3 will never have all the games the 360 has plus additional exclusive content, any more than the 360 would ever have all the PS3 games plus additional exclusive content. Each console will always have exclusive content.
Also, one of your assumptions--that the 360 will stop selling just like the xbox--is faulty. 11/29/2004 through 12/27/2004 the xbox sold 1.7 m units ww. The following November MS starting selling the 360 and stopped production on the xbox. How can you claim that exclusive content (or the lack thereof) caused the xbox to stop selling? MS caused the xbox to stop selling. The only way your assertion that the 360 will stop selling in 2009 might possibly be correct is if MS releases their next gen console in 2009 and stops production on the 360.
So you still haven't explained how your logic represents a situation that is even remotely possible.
