| pezus said: Consoles sell horribly in the summer so even if it would get good first month sales, I could see them going to WiiU's level quicker than WiiU did (because there's no holiday season to keep the momentum going). Then, by the time the holidays roll around, Sony will launch the next big thing and there's a risk of it stealing the attention from 720...if this is true. Plus, you need to build up a bit of hype before launching a console. A month or two would be too short. |
You're talking about maximizing the launch, but consistent sales from a head start could be better for MS. Good sales from launch + only successor on the market of the HD twins + potential deals/sales when PS4 launches could give it an edge.
That being said, I agree marketing push is necessary and games! Where are the games?
I don't place much salt in the rumor, but I don't think it's a bad idea to launch in June either.
