This is nearly $6 billion more than consumers have spent on PS3 and approximately $4.5 billion more than Wii. Xbox 360: Extending the Lead * No other game platform delivers downloadable digital entertainment, with family favorites like “Hannah Montana” and “Lost.” |
I love when they quote revenues and not actual hardware sold. Since the Wii is, rough average, about $75 bucks cheaper than the 360, it would have to sell loads more to achieve the same revenue. The same applies to games and accesories (more expensive games in general, and games like Rock Band). Also, for the last money one (the one about 9 billion dollars being spent on the 360), it's been out longer, in other words, more time to spend more money. This same logic can be applied to the attach rate. Out longer = better attach rates.
Does ANYONE watch Hannah Montana on the 360? I mean, seriously? Also, though the 360/PS3 have the Lost game, the Wii/DS has the Hannah Montana games. lol. I really love that line.
For the most part, it's simply PR spin. Nothing out of the ordinary.
