| Chandler said: Until someone can disprove me I believe Microsofts marketshare didn't increase by all that much. In no way possible are there actual 70 million people out there playing this console right now. This is purely anecdotal evidence but I know so many people who are at least on their third xbox by now and a large quantity of people who are buying this console every month are actually people who rebuy the console to get back into their game library. I'm just pulling this number out of my ass but I believe there are maybe 45 million unique FPSbox360 customers tops. |
THIS. I would LOVE for Microsoft to reveal how many ACTIVE Xbox 360 owners there are. Or maybe Xbox Live GOLD members?
There's a reason the PS3 is still extremely competitive despite all the mistakes Sony has made. Microsoft made a pretty big mistake of their own.
Look at the Call of Duty games. Despite the supposedly much larger # of FPS gamers on 360, the games only sell ~2 million more on Xbox 360 compared to PS3(that's on top of the timed-exclusive DLC).......the game should be much bigger on 360. Take out 8.5million from PS3's total sales because of Japan, and you'll see how weird it is that PS3 games sell so close to their 360 counterparts. Do PS3 owners just buy more games? Do 360 owners by less? NO. What I think is that the number of active PS3/360 owners is much closer than the sales charts would have us believe.
