How origional....sigh
All MS has to do is adopt a PS Plus approach. |
technicially MS doesnt really have to do anything. a lot of people dont like paying for live and say they shouldnt have to, i agree with that. but its working for MS, so when thinking about it, if it aint broke, dont fix it
|
Indeed would be like saying that Nike has to stop charging a lot for their shoes or that Dr Dre Beats shouldn't be 300euros for a pair of headphones, if people are paying and still happy to have a few adverts in the bottom corner of the screen which generate an absolute ton of revenue for MS then why would they stop doing it?
|
it depends on what they want though. if they want more profits from xbox live, charge for it. if they want a chance at getting first place and outselling nintendo and sony, i think they need to make playing games atleast for free
|
I think MS's goal is the same as always has been, Make Money.
|
oh god...
Just like Sony and Ninty then and every other compnay on the planet.
|
yeah exactly, I just mean I don't think Microsoft are going to sacrifice the money they earn from adverts or Xboxlive gold to try and outsell the ps2 or to win a generation which is almost over, while those things are important to some people on the Internet, realistically MS wont shoot themselves in the foot to win internet arguments. They print money from xbl so they don't need to be the number 1 seller, each console in a home generates more money even just sitting there.

i ment next gen not this gen. also having the most consoles sold does have its benifits when it comes to making money, first all more consoles sold = more money of course :P second it means more software sold and peripheral's. more revenue from online content such as DLC and full game purchases. plus more console sales equal more brand awarness and popularity which is really helpfull in the long run. of course they will lose the yearly revenue from xbox live. as i said it depends on how MS want to make the money and how much market share they want they want, after all market share is important for many reasons, non related to internet wars made by fanboys of course.
also i once read an article about bill gates and i remember him saying something like when ever MS enter an indusrty that MS's approach is to dominate the market, much like they do with windows and windows office. i cant link you to that article because i read it years ago. dont qoute me on this because i could be wrong though
