Yep, now to find out yours, Pezus maybe?
| Dodece said: @BenVTrigger I suspect that your actually wrong with your analysis. While the Wii won the hardware war. I think that is probably the only war they actually won. I curse the lack of decent tools on this site, but I think that Microsoft has probably sold far more software, generated more revenue, and likely has strengthened their brand. I suspect that Nintendo would gladly take Microsoft's victory over their own. Maybe I am wrong prove to me that Nintendo won anything beyond the number of consoles sold. |
The wii sold more software and made more money. Are you ignoring all the money MS paid to fix the RRoD issues? Im pretty sure MS would have rather had the Wii then Xbox. Kinect is pure proof of that.
| d21lewis said: Well, it's the total package. It had marketshare growth, it has a respected library, it has mass appeal, it made money, it's fairly powerful, etc. Xbox 360 is outdone in certain areas by the competition (overall sales, overall power) but it sits in the sweet spot. Better business structure than Sony. Longer life and capability than Nintendo. |
And we meet again. Longer life thanks to wanting to be like Ninty lol. I truly don't see why people believe MS looks good going into next gen. Sony could come up with an affordable plat. and mop the floor with MS. PSN is free and as long as Sony launches with a decent launch(probably not happening I admit) they could do much better than this gen.

No, they tried that already with the Gamecube. Still got third in tie ratio :( |
Damn you're right.

Lol that's funny. |
I was waiting for an opportunity like this lol.
In case of tie ratios, yes MS has done very well.
Count all those downloadable games as well, or even count 4 of them as one retail game and the 360 has already beaten the Xbox.
The most important factor to me is that the product is a profitable business for the manufacturer. This is the main point that secures another generation and not tie-ration, market share or anything else. Let's face it, these are products that only have one goal: Make a profit.
So I disagree, the Wii won and not the Xbox 360.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
It seems to me like Xbox 360 is both the least commercially successful and the most financially successful console of this generation. It never ceases to amaze me that Microsoft has been able to make a profit after losing billions on the Red Ring of Death.
I think the sucessfulness of a system is measured on how much revenue it generated for the company.
Is the 360 the one who did that, or is it the Wii?

that's all nice and well but is this another thread basically saying that the Xbox does well in the US ? As I said comparing prices across regions is not exactly favourable.

Are you a share holder ? At the end of the day the 360 made a profit out of nothing selling subscriptiond for Live so by your logic the 360 is the winner.
