Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Worldwide sales decreasing - Microsoft must react NOW!!!!

Microsoft is getting a more varied game selection, but I think alot of people don't realize it yet. Before Halo 3, the sales were mediocre at the best.

If they want big successes (like PS2), they really need a couple more exclusives from non FPS genres that have the same hype and success like Halo.

For a start, promote the jRPG lineup in the west. There are quite a few non-Japanese people that like those kind of games - maybe even more than the Japanese themselves in current trends. The only marketing I'm seeing so far for LO is word of mouth.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

As far as Blu-Ray vs HD DVD format my money is on Blu-Ray just because it's a cooler name.

That's the same reason why I favour it. C'mon! With a name like "Blu-Ray"? You're a sucker NOT to buy it.

They could always try one of their original ideas: Load the 360 with Windows and turn it into a fully fledged PC.

It has all manner or strategic advantages and disadvantages, but it certainly would boost hardware sales.



Formerly Bugmenot, (mostly) I'm now reformed and adopting a more concrete persona upon ioi's request.

I'm not new here and had 147 posts to my (our) name - not that anyone noticed.

I thought this was a thread about RROD returns ...
