Forums - Microsoft - XBOX360 sales closing up on Wii sales?

@Huaxiong: Why would anyone buy Elite? After all, you get to access the same games with Arcade as well as play online. Besides, people who have RRoD:d their Core/Elite models, are most likely to buy Arcade and put their old HDD onto the new system.

For the SD cards in Wii, they existed way before Wii was released. Also, Wii has supported SD cards since launch. The update just allowed to DL the games to the SD, without the need of saving them to the onboard memory first, and launch them from the card. And, the supported size of the card grew from 2GB to 32GB.

Essentially, the internal memory argument you are making is the same as saying PS3 is a hardcore system and 360 casual because PS3 games are on BD and 360 on DVD. After all, DVD is too small for HD games.

Nice change from the usual negative crap that gets posted about the 360 by people who don't own one.

Didn't you look at his signature?

I said why would casuals buy the elite, not anyone. Don't spin my words.

 

As for SD cards, that was my point.

 

I never mentioned anything about the PS3. I'm talking about 360 Elite vs. Arcade. And BD vs. DVD is stretching it. I never included those in my argument. You're taking my words out of context.

 

Look at the boxes of the Arcade and Elite. Which one looks more family friendly?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

@Huaxiong: I'm not stretching anything. Just pointing out the biggest flaw in the logic you are using.
Why do the same game fit DVD aswell as BD, or why the same movies are available on DVD and BD?

And i asked why would anyone buy Elite, because you can access the same games with Arcade just aswell.

Ok, i don't get how the SD cards now relate to the subject?

Arcade looks more family friendly, but what does that have to do with casuals?

1. *Sigh*...I don't even know how to put it into words, really. All I'll say is to compare my argument to games on Blu Ray vs. DVD is wrong. Leave it out please, all you're doing is derailing my argument like this. They're 2 different issues.

 

2. The reason why hardcore gamers would buy an elite is, again, because of the DLC for their hardcore games and XBLA downloads, as well as installs. Why would casuals spend that extra money when they can get an Arcade SKU with a few Arcade volume discs and family games?

 

3. You mentioned the Wii's internal memory. But to explain the need for Wii SD cards is, once again, only derailing the thread. I'm talking strictly about the difference between the Arcade console and Elite console. Leave the PS3 and Wii out of the discussion, and I won't mention stuff like this.

 

4. Because, casuals will buy it for sports games or for their kids, etc. Simple games, basically.

Considering Halo ODST is a big cheese in USA it boosted 360 sales but still didn't quite manage to outsell Wii so I doubt that it's closing in, plus wii has a price cut so some peopel are holding on.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
