That would be so awesome,I think you only get 1 avatar per account
If Microsoft advertises this game well and try to get people to get broadband internet. Then NXE can get new people into the mix and get them to own a Xbox 360.
I just don't see interface selling a console though. A controller or games can do it, but not a interface.
If they advertise that you can stream Netflix in HD only on the 360, then it will move more consoles.

Probably this...But I'm not sure how many more it'll move. My concern is if the rumor is true that some older XB360's will brick from the update. Could have people buying for another reason...
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
I argued against HOME selling more Playstation 3s, and I will argue that NXE in and of itself will, either.
However, I do think that some of the specific things inside of NXE - mainly Netflix, could potentially move consoles. If I was in marketing, PR or any kind of decision making inside Microsoft, I would market the living daylights out of it.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
I dont think it will impact that much on sales. However if they advertise Netflix and HD netflix in America really well, they could gather maybe 10k or 20k worth of more sales through it. Whatever happens Netflix must be loving the new subscriptions and attention.
They effectively went from not really heard of to WW heard of. Pretty good deal for Netflix.

shoot an email over to Major Nelson or hit his site up and make that sudjestion. I think that it's not the UI itself, but when someone starts streaming Netflix for thier friends it may push some... my real hope is that some of our Wii new comers graduate to an HD console... PS3 or 360 it doesn't matter much. This could sway some people though... it's certainlly wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend swaying material.
Personally, I'd figure the still newish lower prices for the console and the new hit software will be what will sell Xbox 360's.
It will be a success and help spread word of mouth but it won't make a noticeable difference to sales.
