"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

Well deserved.

How did the 3DS do in 2012?

I thought this was already known?

Though the 3DS won.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I wonder how hard Microsoft is going to try next gen to promote the 720 outside of North America? They're losing pretty much everywhere else except the UK. I expect a serious marketing blitz from the very beginning in a lot of Europe, perhaps in other markets. I know they've been trying really hard to expand the Live network, though Gold still isn't everywhere.

I think PS3 got 2013 too



justinian on 31 January 2013

I didn't know. I must say however that I thought the gap would have been bigger in the US between PS3 and x360.

Yes, I acknowledge it's a big gap, just not as big I had imagined.

At the same time approx. 78K x360s sold in Japan is more than I thought. Again compared to the others pretty bad but still better than I thought.

Sony won? What did they win?

What's the prize?
