If the NextBox launches first, wouldn't it have 100% temporarly? That's over 45%

At Soriku.... The Wii2 seems a bit off topic from what we are getting at... or straying to....

here is where the English lesson picks up. Unfortunately I must leave for work (should have 10 minutes ago) so I will not go into detail. A. who said the next console will be released before others to grab 100%... Not me that's for sure. Even if I did "Get 45%" doesn't mean something else is taking 55% it just means it reached up to 45%. So if it releases first and grabs 100% me saying "getting 45%" wasnt wrong. Couldn't it be possible that 2 consoles get launched at the same time? Leaving 55% to be taken by who ever released long side? Isn't 55% > 45%? Wouldn't that then mean that 55% wasn't divided my 2 companies? Wouldn't all of that be supporting what I have said? When interpreting something try and cover what has been said. Instead of filling in your own words for someone else and then interpreting what you are saying what they are saying.

What I am really scared is if this casual crap works for MS and they start making billions in profit, then why the heck, from a business point would MS bother making games aimed at the hardcore audienece?

 

 I understand and agree with this statement.

Yes!, but when you argue with a confined logic such as this, people will not understand. This only works if a third company does not enter the market.

Who's gonna drop out?    - Nobody

Also why are you arguing about how market share is not a fixed number. Regardless if 30% of sales represents 50,000 or 200,000 , it is still 30% of the total possible number, is it not? - what the hell does that have to do with anything?

It is actually okay to admit your mistakes, there are tons of people in this world that never give in because they fear being wrong, when in reality they are just making an ass of themselves.

These people are really only trying to convince themselves. Anyone else can see through cyclical bullshit.

fact of the matter is.. if any gaming company ends up with 45% market share next gen, they will be the Winner out of the possible 3, or maybe even 4 competitors. You can bend the timelines according to launch windows all you want - but that would make no sense

Now would it?

Well...considering this is a thread about next gen...not really :3

 

 This topic was originally about casual titles on Microsoft forums... But the topic changed directions rapidly, so you are correct.

English is my second language, hope you don't feel my statements are worth less. As I apparently need English lessons...

Ummm... Isn't it?
You can only have from 0-100%

No market share is not a set number. It's everchanging.

 

If you go back to my original post, I said 30-45%. That doesn't look like a set number to me. Right now Xbox 360 has about 30%. Its "everchanging; every few weeks it goes up or down .1%. But on averag,e you can see its 20-35% market share, no?



 

Oh, and by my 30-45% market share gestimation, I obviously menat by gens end. If Xbox 720 is first out of the gate and has 45% market share in year 2 (first year for other two consoles) then, duh they might lose. Once the gen is over, market share is a set number.

I have rarely seen someone going to such lengths to defend a mistake. It seems to be hard for you to admit that you said something wrong.

In your original reply you were quoting someone who clearly refered to end of gen marketshare, so logically everyone else interpreted your post refering to the same. Don't you think it's strange that everybody disagrees with all of your following posts? But your conclusion is that other people need English lessons and need to be educated, because it can't be you who was wrong all along.

QFT

its easier to say "oops, I misunderstood your post" then to go on a long long rant, get backed in a corner, and then have everyone say "why tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't listen"
