Price and bundles is what is pushing the 360. Not just the arcade, but the pro kungfu panda/lego indy bundle is hitting the right audience. I dont think NXE is pushing many sales yet, but avatars and future avatar games will drum up interest with the casuals.

NXE is big factor, can you do 32 party voice chat in home , no, you have to type it.

also the netflix things, also HDD install etc, it is a great factor. not just price alone.

NXE brings so many good thing, and it is available right away, it is a big factor, also of course

proven xbox live, which give us better online experience and profit to MS.

Exactly, sadly fanboys will not grasp the fact that it's not only price. M$ aimed at a casual audience, and you can be damn sure they've achieved what they wanted by the time Christmas is over. The momentum is and will be insane.

Even though, you know, 50% of 360's sold were 60gig and Elite bundles, you're still going to see people like CGI throw the $200 vs $400 excuse.

Honestly if 8 player partys help the 360 sell, then I wonder what the 32 player party's in HOME will do?

Your not making any sense

 

 Leo-j's right, neither's fancy layout is going to do anything. All that matters is the price and selectio of game available.

 

Well, there is a difference. Live makes money, not so sure about PSN or Home. The online advertising market is collapsing badly, which will likely negatively impact anything ad driven. Trying to get online ad revenue these days is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone.

If you can make good money off of Live, that makes a price cut on the console easier. However if you lose money on network services, that is less money available to fund a price cut.

If I squeeze hard enough will blood come out? Does blood from my own hand that gets on the stone count? Anywho good numbesr for all consoles overall, amazing 360 comeback =) Where's Squilliam and his sig?

Lol, how about you stick to convince people that getting a credit card to get a $100 off your PS3 purchase is a worth investment, at least you're talking about something that's real unlike that Home thing that's been coming out for the past 20 years :D



What are you looking at, nerd?
