Forums - Sales Discussion - Why do people think the 360 is vulnerable in sales?

Logic has no place on these forums... to be fair the PS3's increase is more dramatic... it was sucking ass last year untill the end. If it wasn't for the brand loyalty in Europe Sony wouldn't really be in this game.

In all fairness, the 360 would have failed if it was not for the US, and the US numbers shows this. Most people know that the demand for the PS3 is greater than the demand for the 360, this is because the PS3 sells very well at a much higher price point than the 360.

So if the price was reduced for the PS3 and SONY were able to meet demand, then there is no doubt that sales would explode, due to the greater demand.



It's because of MS's stated goals in the industry. Their goal is to take out their biggest competitor so they can monopolize the industry. If their goal was to be a big part of the industry, they aren't doing too badly. If they want to be in a position where they can fix prices like they do with OS and Office products, they have a long way to go.  Even if they are beating Sony, Nintendo is taking alot of share that they would rather have.  The "Wii60" comment that some fanboys use for justification was made when Peter Moore severly under-estimated the Wii's dominance.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Really can you show me were MS stated there goal in the industry is to take over and monopolize the industry? MS is trying to be the most dominant console as is both the WII and the PS3 thats what companies do!

 

 



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Dean Takahashi's Xbox 360 Uncloacked has the whole story.  The living room was the next big gold mine, and that's why they created the gaming division.  They wanted to beat out Sony and eventually buy out Nintendo.

Microsoft's reason for entering into this market was to stop Sony from getting a foothold in the living room... even in the 90s Krazy Ken knew they would one day have to go head to head with Microsoft. This is a fight for the dominance of entertainment in the living room... it's so massive that Apple's own entrance was barely even a footnote.



It dosent make sence to me either =/



Proud Owner of  a Wii and Xbox 360 and a PS3(When I get the money)

Take a look at latest poll. It's hard to deny this play has a larger PS3 following, and with that comes the idiot fan subset.
