Generally, the number of consoles sold are affected by:
- How gullible parents are to buy consoles for their kids
- Fanboys (and girls)
- The price of the console
- Launch titles & titles in the works
- The price of a game
- The features that a console has
Sony do have a large fan-base, but the price of the console greatly depreciates the number of potential sales they could have.
And, if im not mistaken, the 360 still requires you to buy the dvd extras just to watch dvds
I think they all have DVD-players. But who doesn't already have some form of DVD player in their house somewhere? Computer, DVD-Player, who doesn't have one of those?
What's funny about this is that the Nintendo Wii have been released about 2 weeks ago, and it's not that far from the Xbox 360 which have been released almost a year ago.
I'm an idiot ?
The Xbox 360 is in the market since xmas 2005, in all territories. Wii is in the market for 2 weeks and only in 2 territories. Is 7 millions such a big difference ? I don't think so.
If nexgenwars.com is a fake or not, I dunno, and I don't give a fuck. I'm gonna buy a wii anyway.
Hah, I was thinking that. 360, been out for a year in every region. Wii? Just 2 weeks in one region. Course the numbers are huge but if the Wii carries on this momentum once it hits Europe, Japan and co. Meh. Could be interesting, I mean the DS has basically ran off into the distance in terms of sales if that can translate to the Wii then who knows how long it will take to play catch up?
