Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 to outsell playstation 3 slim when...

Damnyouall on 25 October 2009

Of course not. Why? Because PS3 will almost certainly beat 360!



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

I think there is high probability that Xbox360 will outsell PS3 when MW 2 comes out. There is a 360 bundle out there with MW2 and there has already been 1.7 M preorder of MW 2 on the Xbox360. If I remember correctly the bundle was announced when there was 1.2 M preorder of MW2. Xbox has a chance with MW 2, but that is their only chance for the rest of the year I think.

The 360 already beat the PS3 Slim in the US already.

1.7 million people who already on a 360. The question is how many new people will buy MW2 AND A CONSOLE.

Wasn't there going to be a modern warfare 2 bundel for the playstation 3 as well? I thought there was.

^not necessarily

I think bundling MW2 is a stupid move, to say the least.

The game will sell millions of copies on it's own and MS is going to have to pay for all those copies out of pocket.

What a load of nonsense... how can it be a stupid move?  So FFXIII similar bundles in Japan are stupid?

If Sony did it you'd love it.... and rightly so.

 

FF13 is an exclusive in Japan.

I agree with you, though, bundling MW2 is a good move. I just don't see it having a very large effect. It will give a small bump in America, and nothing elsewhere.

No. I think exclusive games sell consols.
