ms cant win with out japan, ms can win with how there system is selling in europe.

 

ms will never be able to win any generation, with out selling units in japan, and europe. the only place its selling good is in usa.

like ms stated in the start of 360, they no they need japan to win.

and now they no they have lost in japan, when a system that is almost twice the price has passed up the totle sales in japan in 4 weeks while the 360 has been out a year.

 They had the money last gen and it didnt help.  There is a simple reason why MS will not win, it does not have worldwide appeal.  It doesnt matter how much you advertise, it only works if people have a want for your product.  There are plenty of tampon commercials but me as a dude dont go to the store to buy them.  MS is following the same route it did last gen and that is have a solid NA audience and thats it.

 Not a formula for success.

Right on point,Ms know that without Japan,they cannot be successful.Now we have Sony outselling them in Japan,and Europe. Only the land of the free is left for takeover,this shall happen in the next 4-6 months.

    I would have to disagree if they did do this WindowsLive+XboxLive the controller(Xbox) community will get owned when it comes to shooters,i will back this up by making a simple example Take Counter-strike for xbox and make them go against Counter-strike for PC we will know who will get ownd and besides PC gamers dont pay for online so they wont dominate :|

yes, i believe MS spend a lot more than any other company on publicity. And i believe they also pay some reviewers to be a little biased. C'mon, FNR3 in the PS3 has better fighters' gfx. You'll say it has worse gfx because of the 2d crowd?

You mean like this gamesite, or many of the others....or what about youtube.  If you havnt noticed their is already advertising in our video games and even on Live, the difference is with PSN the consumers gain as well.

Yes but the difference is we didnt pay 50 dollars a year to then be charged microtransactions, and not all games charge for extra content.  I got new maps on Resistance for free, they updated it plenty of times and put in new team modes as well and it didnt cost me a thing.

1. maybe yiou need to return to pc gaming where "free" is the standard, as are cheaters, hackers, and modders..;)

2. maybe you think developers should GIVE their work away for FREE... but i don't think their mortgage holders will take "free" coupons in leiu of payment...

3.  just because YOU think it should be free, doesn't mean it should be... sorry..

the PSN is still in it's infanchy stage...

wtih the way sony has their business model set up, you'll exceed the $50 a year easily, just buying junk for your PSN "home" or maps, levels, etc....

it's coming... sony's not been secret about it..;)

How am I ignoring it, they can advertise all they want to pay the bills as long as they dont reach in my pockets.  There is advertising everywhere, hell my gf is an advertising major.  It is a way of life, I just dont like it if I am paying as well.

TC is right, i do not know who im dealing with. i mean a company that wants to charge me for maps that should be free is beyond me.

tango90101

you DO know that's sony's online is depending on ecommerce and advertising to generate revenue, right? ;)

 

Advertising doesn't cost me any money.

Paying for maps does.

You do the math.

 

the point is that sony has every intention of charging you cows for maps, cars, clothes, furniture, weapons, and anything else they can think of..

they've never kept that secret, but it's hilarious whatching you noobs pretend MS is the only one charging for online content..:lol:

how's that for "math", genius..:lol:

Yes but the difference is we didnt pay 50 dollars a year to then be charged microtransactions, and not all games charge for extra content.  I got new maps on Resistance for free, they updated it plenty of times and put in new team modes as well and it didnt cost me a thing.

the PSN is still in it's infanchy stage...

wtih the way sony has their business model set up, you'll exceed the $50 a year easily, just buying junk for your PSN "home" or maps, levels, etc....

it's coming... sony's not been secret about it..;)

Maybe and maybe not, those are optional microtransactions.  If people like that sorta thing great for them.  The point is I can play my games for free and thats what I care about.  The same can be said about the 360, I am sure that many people buy games and add ons for games via Live on TOP of the 50 dollar cover charge a year to play.  I am well aware that microtransactions are gonna be on all systems but paying to play just doesnt cut it for me.

I guess paying $50 a year for Live must have clouded your judgment.

Silly fanboy.

im talking about gears of war, one of my favorite games and reason the only reason why i bougth a 360 in the first place. i have been a UT fanboy since the first UT. and not once i have ever paid for MAPS yes i said MAPS. now you tell me why i need to start paying for MAPS THAT EPIC ALWAYS KEPT FREE. tell me tango. unlike you, i dont like bending over and let companies charge at will when it should of been free from the start.

1. maybe yiou need to return to pc gaming where "free" is the standard, as are cheaters, hackers, and modders..;)

2. maybe you think developers should GIVE their work away for FREE... but i don't think their mortgage holders will take "free" coupons in leiu of payment...

3.  just because YOU think it should be free, doesn't mean it should be... sorry..

 

hmm its funny when EPIC STATED THEY WANT TO GIVE THE MAPS FOR FREE , But your beloved MS doesnt feel the same. unless MS is the devolper now you should get your facts straight. because ill be here all day claiming ownage on you.  oh before you come back with another quote. let me tell you taht maps does not equal expansions just thougth i put that out now before i come back and claim ownage once again on you

something tells me that tango is not coming back after my comment. oh well fanboys must go hide sometimes when they find their logic is at fault.

More cash to be pushed on marketing brainwash/bad publicity for Sony...

Its time for the cows to open their eyes and see with whom they are dealing with....

And you are proud of this?  It's also the #1 reason MS will ruin gaming.

Yeah ok, you just keep bowing down to a huge company who doesn't give a crap about you. Good luck with that.

Maybe Microsoft should have put that money into making the Elite version the main console instead of waiting a year and having people pay for the console again if they want the full experience.

The reason Microsoft may win the console war is because the Direct X platform and talent pool for Xbox360/PC development is absolutely huge.  Sony and Nintendo are going to have a tougher time getting career programmers to give up on the Xbox360/PC platforms to pursue platforms that may only be around for 4-7 years.  microsoft however has much of the same problem that American car companies have in Japan. They do not want to buy American products in which their own country has such strong brands. Will Ford motor company ever outsell Toyota in the Japanese market? Hell no. Neither with the Xbox360 or whatever comes after that.  Microsoft's tools and unified development platform however is creating a huge pool of developer talent. They make the games and the platform allows ATI and Nvidia to continue to bring better and better abilities to PC's and next versions of Xbox while programmers utilize consistent common toolsets.  This is Microsoft's major advantage and why PC games in three years will look much better than anything on the PS3 or Xbox360.  Even Sony has to bow down to MS to use Vista for their PC's.  There is no question who is really in the drivers seat when you look at the combined force of PC and Xbox360 gaming that Microsoft brings to the table.

Not this same crap again.... X360 = $50 (XBL) + $50/year (electricity as PS = 160W) = PS3 $0 (PSN) + $100/year (electricity as PS = 380W)

hmmm it all evens out so quit whining
