The only two months of the year Microsoft really cares about. No surprise to see the 360 selling well during the holidays in America. Microsoft has nothing left in the tank software wise for 2013. All thats left in Gears in first quarter and thats it.


And a massive back catalogue of sensational games, new adopters kinda like that. 


Come on...you know Halo 4 had something to do with it. Last year it was Kinect and this year its Halo, be at peace with it. Microsoft knows they dont have much so they properly place the games where the largest amount of numbers will come in. Its common sense, but kudos to them for having it. The next Gears is set for Q1 so you know they are on their way out. Microsoft wouldnt in their right mind launch Gears anytime but forth quarter otherwise. 

That want really my point, I was merely saying that new buyers of consoles don't look just at new games. They are NEW adopters, they are buying into a whole back catalogue. Plenty of sales for 360 in the US next year and especially when a deep and official price cut comes.


Come on, admit it, Microsoft has two games that are console sellers, but theres is only one Halo and its in their posession. Microsoft wont drop price until september. Thats the only time of the year they see fit to cut price and that will probably be because there will be no more new games and they will be shipping out for a totally new gen. Sales have given them no incentive to drop price. If Microsoft was to drop price they should've done it two years ago. They've only truly dropped $100 since they launched the 360. That and they've more than profited off of the dumbasses who buy the 4GB and are forced to hand Microsoft an extra thirty dollars for the 320 GB HD. They've also played it very smart because they should've dropped price in 2011 and the Kinect bundle destroyed all during Black Friday. Microsoft can bundle their consoles and there would be no legit reason to drop the price of the console because of consumer reaction. They are in profit heaven right now. ;)
