| Soleron said: I will bet you 10 real dollars that 90% of current Xbox 360 owners could not tell you the name of the Xbox One unprompted when asked what the name of the next Xbox is. You have an imaginary perception of how important forums and social media really are. Obviously the people in the know, know. Stock analysts, journalists, people like us. But we also know that what was shown at the conference wasn't make or break at all for its sales. The things that are make or break are game library and price, neither of which is announced. I agree there are negatives but the actual customers don't know about them yet. And in fact will never know unless they personally run into that wall (i.e. attempt to sell a used game). "People" who are having a negative reaction = tiny vocal minority |
Well, no. We have no idea how many know. What we do know is that the Xbox One has been in papers, gamestores and on TV. Its been on news sites. Its been all over social media. Its general discussion.
Social Media is pretty major. I mean - https://www.facebook.com/xbox - Over 21 Million people like the Xbox page on Facebook. Thats just one page. There are plenty more with likes ranging from 500k to 3 Million. To show just how big social media can be, the PlayStation Facebook page has over 32 Million likes.
You cant deny that audience. You cant deny that the people in the know will be talking to the general consumer.
