Once MS starts advertising we will see plenty of casuals and core gamers readying for launch,kinect had a 500 milion dollars ad campaign how much would MS be willing to spend on a brand new console?1 bilion-1.5 billion ?

Exactly WHAT message is Microsoft going to broadcast that will get millions enthused for a console that is less powerful than a rival, who is selling theirs for $100 less?

I would like to know what this message is.

No it's not, not even close.

Can we please at least wait a year after Xbox One launch to write it off.

It will do great numbers in US and UK.


I agree its too early to jump to conclusions but other than those 2 countries I cant really see it being a big success.

Was Xbox 360 any different? It was still a success.

The console will sell out at launch, sell slowly Spring and Summer and take off when it drops to $399 and Halo is released next fall. No worries

Yep, because Miss. Cleo said so.

That is true but I think its sales in Europe as a whole will be much smaller than 360 and nonexistant in Others. I think it will also drop in US/UK in comparison to 360.

If the Xbox division is in doubt then... What's Sony? For the people arguing, ask that first.

I immediatly call into question this analyst when he states that Sony initially announced the PS3 at $499.  Sony introduced the PS3 at $599 and then because of the backlash later announced a unit for $499 that was only made in very limited quantities.


"Two hardware configurations were also announced for the console: a 20 GB model and a 60 GB model, priced at US$499 (€499) and US$599 (€599), respectively." - (http://au.ign.com/articles/2006/05/25/e3-2006-the-final-word-on-playstation) via wikipedia.

 

"The blog post noted that when Sony announced the entry-level $499 price of the PlayStation 3"

 

Article is right, you are wrong. That is all there is to it.
