Forums - Microsoft - How is the 360 still leading almost weekly in the U.S?

Nsanity on 18 June 2013

The 360 needs more games and an official price-cut, because it won't be leading much longer.

Because here in the u.s., we love to support our American companies and want them to do good.

It established itself as the go-to console for shooter and sports fans in America, where shooters and sports are big.

Its a good console for gamers, which is why it sells well.

The past library, and honestly mostly CoD and Fifa. Those games sell consoles!

success creates success.

late adopters tend to buy the system that their friends already have so they can do things like trade games.


And there you have it...

But like almost everyone said; catalogue + marketshare + price + what Kitler said gives a healthy lifespan.

Has there been any big games for a while? Besides Metro, Star Trek, Tomb Raider, and Bioshock?

The 3DS has 2-4 huge recent hits, yet is still behind it.

Then it seems that most gamer's thoughts on the Xbone are not good, yet the 360 is still winning in the U.S weekly.

What is going on?

Here, let me fix it for you:

Then it seems that most (Non Xbox) gamer's thoughts on the Xbox One are not good, yet the 360 is still winning in the U.S weekly.

(Fixed parts that are highlight and bold.)

It's a great little system, with Kinect, Voice Controls, all sorts of goodies - tons of games, and the best online experience.  Nintendo WiiU hasn't really caught on yet, and the PS3 just does its thing.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

They are reacting to Microsoft's Suggestion??



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

Cheap and good library of games. The 4GB version goes on sale for $100 - $150 from time to time.

Name me one time that the 4gb version was a $100?

1. The 4 GB version has been $99 w/ Gold subscription for awhile now, and before that the 4GB version was between 2. $99 and free during several promotions if you bought a qualifying PC or laptop.

1. $99 first then $14.99 monthly for 2 years.

2. Buy a $600 laptop and get a free laptop is NOT $100.

The 360 was never under $150 with NO string attached.


Yes, it was.

Thanks for proving my point. Please re-read all the post (page 2, post 5) where I say the only time it was under $150 was during black Friday. Could you show me where the Xbox 360 was ever $100 like some have claim?

So a sale in Canada is the reason why it's leading in the U.S. weekly? Does Canada sales counts toward the U.S. market?  We are talking about the United States market so why would a Canada sale price relect that?

1. Actually, yes, Canada sales do count toward the U.S. market.

2. ..and you didn't specific United States only until after he posted that link.

 Most importantly, it's interesting that you're taking this so personally.  It's as if you think it's a black mark on your personally if people were able to buy the 360 for sale price of "$100 - $150". 

1. Could I have link or a source for that claim?

2. Please read the title for the thread.
