I was assuimg he said Halo Reach or a certan Halo, and not all Halo titles combined.


read it again. If you think he meant simply Halo he meant Halo CE... but I doubt it so we can assume he meant all halos on 360, hence you arent correct.

If you want another way to look at it there are 4 halos on the 360... without one being named which one would you go for?


He just said Halo, not Halos, but i dont really care what he meant, i tought he was talking about Halo Reach, its the latest Halo game

Halo is a franchise. Also Reach? Halo 3 has sold the most so wouldnt that be the first logical step?

It's not his job to do anything about games. It's a blog. He's not a paid analysis as far as I'm aware. He can take the pee as much as he wants. He's saying it's up 48,000 in US in January. Not massive growth. It's down YOY in other areas.


If he is not paid then fine but why do people keep bringing him up.

Also no its not massive growth, I would love to see what the profit would be though, that would be another story and that is what MS gives a rats about. Thats why Motion Controls werent done earlier this gen to stop Wii, Wii is not their competitor in a realistic sense, wii won the sales battle long ago.

 
He is brought up because he makes excellent points in a well argued form even when he is being somewhat comedic there's an element of truth. I'd like to see the balance sheet as well.



Yes.

Will make a lot more reason why they did this.

That is the main annoying of this, I am almost their positive thier profits would be up shite loads becasue of Kinect but I dunno.

Without a doubt. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't understand the game.

Hard to tell at this point in the generation. If Move and Kinect were released in 2008, this question would be easy to answer.

There are many theories for the Wii's year after year losses in hardware sales since 2008, but I have since rested with the theory that the Nintendo Wii, if you look back at the average length of Nintendo console life cycles, coming into it's 5th year is at the end of its' cycle, thus its' hardware sales are showing year over year losses since it's prime time in 2008.

Even during the December of its' 4th year, the Nintendo Wii sold more than any other console. If the Kinect was "eating" into Wii hardware sales, it should have dominated the 1st holidays it was released. After all a platform that sells 8 million in 4 months should push its' console to the top month after month right?

Not according to the US consumer in December 2010. The Nintendo Wii was king that month.

So, no the Kinect is not eating into the Wii's hardware sales. The Wii is on it's last year or two. This is what is eating into the Wii's sales.
