Forums - Microsoft - Here come the (unofficial) 360 bundles.

@Starcraft , no one is "Pro" anything unless it brings profitability , stop with that "pro-Sony" attitude bullshit , if they where so Pro-Sony then they wouldn't have taken that $50 mill from M$.

Dude what the hell are you talking about in your second point ? I was answering you question , re-read.

The kind of people that pay for a wii @ £170 and the kind of people that pay for a 360 @ £300 are genaraly different kinds of people.

 the Wii's price point is representative of it's value

First, you outline your opinion that the kind of people that buy a Wii are different to the kind of people that buy 360/PS3.  This is essentially just saying that they are different markets.

You then blatantly imply that the Wii isn't worth more than what people are paying for it, even though it's been consistantly sold out for what, 18 months?  Including in the economically troubled USA? 

 



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

for now there is no word for an official 360 bundle ,,so get over it.

the guy walks in ans sees the PS3 box with a GTA print on it,,,guess what happens next?

yea I thought so

Lol, thats a bit of a turn around.  For the better part of a year we've had Sony fanboys telling us that Rockstar are on the verge of going completely Sony exclusive, that GTAV will be PS3 exclusive, and that Sony and Rockstar have multiple exclusive titles in the works.

From what we are hearing about in-store advertising, he'd have to walk past about 18 posters screaming about the 360's lower price point and exclusive DLC before he reached the PS3 box, so...........

Starcraft your incredibly amusing honestly . Firstly I said generaly ,old people , teenage girls and other segments of the gaming market generaly didn't buy consoles until the arrival of the NintendoWii , The Wii isn't exactly a different as it sells to some of the same people that buy the 360 and PS3 however it's created somewhat of a new market that only it sells to , one that it monopolises.

I said the Wii is representative of it's vale , get your facts right. You think the PS3 wouldn't constantly be sold out if it cost 0.5X it's current cost ?

It's value being less than that of a PS3?  Right now the Wii has FAR more AAA games, most of them hardcore.  Which one has more value as a games machine?

The Wii isn't in a different market to the PS3.  It's in the console gaming market.  It's kicking the 360's ass and it's kicking the PS3's ass even harder.

 What impact does fanboy rumours have on the real world ? game developers like any other business are 99% profit orientated , just because they are generaly more creative than other industries doesn't mean they don't prioritise profit.
