I do think more than any console in history that the 360 benefitted from hardware failure as a means to achieve these phenomenal numbers. The PS2 certainly had its hiccups at launch but the RROD continued throughout the generation. And we Americans, having grown up on American cars that always break down but that we still love and continue buying, were primed to repeat purchase the 360 umpteen times. I'm not trying for trolling or flamebait here. So many people in my personal world were on their 4th Xbox360 and had no problem going back to the store to buy another. It was almost like something you just had to do. The machine and its games were that compelling to this audience. |
A lot of the reasons I heard from some was that what are they going to do with the library of games they had? Selling them to like a game stop for like $2 was a bigger lost than buying the copetition and starting over. withing my circle everyone I knew that double dip never whent for a third time. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. |
Yes…I definitely understand the impulse. The 360 had a great library. And it had the best online infrastructure. Not only was it where all your games were, but also your friends.
