The 360 never sold because of legitimate library, it sold to casuals and its still holding on. Kinect is selling Faster than the 360 did itself. This should tell you something. |
Actually kinect shipped/sold 5m~ in Q4, vs 8.4m+ 360's. If 3m of those kinects are new users with the other 2 current core 360 owners. Then that suggests much less than half of 360 purchasers are casuals this holiday.

Sony was unrivaled by Microsoft until Q3 and Q4. Part of that was gears and a large percentage were casuals.
|
I can see what you are getting at and your frustration about it, but it isn't really relevant. Casual or not casual, it sold damn well, just like the Wii, a sale is a sale.
|
Who said that Im not happy? I want Microsoft to succeed, but as a gaming company, not just as a company that profits off of other peoples hard work.
|
Here we go again, let me guess, they copied Kinect from Sony's EyeToy. Am I right on the money there?
|
Nope. You actually furthered my point with Kinect. They didn't make that either. At least Sony can take credit in increasing the value in upping games. I can buy a headset and said Sony made it or Nintendo peripheral, with Microsoft outside of what you get in the box I cant say much.

What you are saying is ridiculous. Microsoft worked very hard with partners to achieve that, it is the same thing.
Microsoft deserves its success by far and I do not see why you should be frustrated about that; at least not in your arguments as they make no senses to me.
And to me (personal oppinon, no numbers to back this off), Kinect + Halo Anni. has the same exact result on boosting 360 sales than Sony exlusifs this year. Then the third parties are generating a good amount of sells for both Microsoft and Sony.
At the end, consoles sales are the results of Sony and Microsoft working hard.
