deathcape on 23 October 2008

>_<

 

wasn't the boost supposed to be huge..

 

uhm..I'm not trying to flame ..I just wanna see answers..where is the boost?

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&start=39663&end=39740

there's a chart..but..I don't see it..a marginally small one though..but..not substantial enough to call it a 'boost'

but...looks like the Wii is getting a boost..again?!?!

 

can anyone explain this to me? Wii Music?..idk..I'm confused for a sec

MS hoped for more I'm sure but I still think it's early to judge

They have achieved what they wanted to do, and that's slowing down the PS3 world wide and gaining market share while still being profitable. MS is doing fine, it's Sony i worry about. Their console is expensive, but they cant lower prices because they will lose too much money.

I mentioned this in another thread, it's outselling the PS3 by less and less with each passing week.

Well, the MS entertainment division just posted a "Profit" for last quarter due to increased 360 sales and Live sales.  This after a loss last quarter, and on the eve of Sony's announcement of reduced profit earnings.  "Huhh, during the recent price cut, you say??"....... Yes!! "But, but, but, I thought MS was going to lose money due to the price cut, not gain a large profit.....hmmmmm....?????"

Great job MS....XD, keep it up.

         Linky please.... :P, not that I dont believe you, I just would like clarification, as others will most likely, as well.  Even fox news is reporting stock increases and profit for MS.  Either way, MS is on the up, rather than the down....and that is a good thing!

 



TheTruthHurts! on 23 October 2008

^^ oh, thank you for link blackstar!....oh and he did say the "full effect" of the price cut, because the cut came early in the quarter.  So the quarter, does reflect the price cut, just not completely.
