Why are you saying Microsoft did a great job selling to the masses? The public/masses/casuals DON'T watch these types of events. They don't even watch E3. Most of them don't even know what E3 is.

The audience for events such as these are core gamers.

Casuals won't hop on till they start seeing commercials/hearing celebrities endorse/everyone and their mother starts talking about how hip or trendy it is.


Because the masses saw it. The video was right on the dash as soon as you boot up the 360 on repeat.  Also MS posted TONS of it on Facebook and mainstream media picked up on it and posted articles everywhere. 

And they saw it. Day 1 of taking people on the wait list was huge. The console will sell awesome in NA.


The people who would follow MS on facebook would be *drumroll* 360 fans

and the people who would see it on the 360 dashboard would be *drumroll* 360 fans.

You said Sony did a better job focusing on core gamers. So are you saying that the 360 fanbase is full of people who aren't core gamers?

Of course the 360 fan base is filled with casual / mainstream gamers.

at least 50 million of the sold 360's were not sold to "core" gamers.


Hey thank you for stating that. I've always thought so too.

That being said, I don't know if casuals will even like it. There are too many other devices that do what the X1 will. But yeah I agree that their focus definitely wasn't on the core gamer. Let's see if it works for them. :p
