Forums - Sales Discussion - 360 is doing ok but considering...

From the recent sales figures, i think the 360 is doing ok but is doing poor when you look at how cheap it actually is.

In the US it starts from $199

In the UK it starts from £99 (Tesco and Sainsbury's)

etc, etc.

If we compare it to the PS3 this week, it outsold it by 20k, which i think is pretty poor. 

My point is, why is it selling so badly for it's price point?

I havent read the OP yet, but I just want to say, if anyone is about to make an idiotic argument about price, I may scream.

I mean the stupidity of thinking that price matters to a developer deciding what platform to make his game for is ludicrous.

So please, please, PLEASE dont let this be some desperate, idiotic attempt to explain away the PS3's lackluster performance relative to the Xbox 360 lately with price....

What do you mean the Xbox is doing poorly?

It's nearly outsold its predecessor

Ignoring the fact that it's made a loss, its doing fine

most europeans trust brand over actual value.

You guys don't get it, for a console that has

- Amazing online
- Great games
- Very Cheap price point
- Good community
- Decent brand name

and the fact MS advertises the console well. It is selling fairly poorly relative to all of these facts.



I agree
