I really dont know why MS has dominated America this gen. Marketing?carljohnson3456

I'm sure if Microsoft could get away with it they would give one away with a happy meal purchase. Anti-trust lawsuits would fly though.

Console sales mean little guys. It's just a way to get the true money. Software sales.

No games on the 360? Really? Go filter 360 games on gamespot. There are hundreds of games on the xbox..Close to 1000 games.

For people buying/getting the system free with a 700 dollar investment. I'm sure they will find something to play. :lol:

One reason is the free Xbox 360 Slim with new MS Windows 7 powered laptop PC. This is one example of Microsoft's market power advanage when use against competitors.

Before MS's free Xbox 360 Slim bundle, Sony has HDTV + PS3 bundle tactics. Sony doesn't have the market power in HDTV space.

To crushed smartphone competitors(e.g. "Think Different"/"Think patent" Apple, marketing/adware Google Android), Microsoft should do the free Windows Phone 7 bundle with new MS Windows 7 powered laptop PC.

It offers almost the same as ps3 and is like twice as expensive with Live, but people still buy it. >_>

-That's right. Totally forgot about that. That's not a valid sale, but NPD counted it anyway.

-That they do, but they don't sell nearly as many.

It's a valid sale i.e. there's an offer of free Xbox 360 with new Windows based PC.

Microsoft responded against Sony's HDTV+free PS3 bundle with a massive counter attack. Microsoft needs to do it with smartphones.

[QUOTE="-Renegade"]I don't think free systems count as sales but of course M$ seems to have some sort of deal with NPD. They are giving the system away then they brag about the sales numbers to make it seem more popular then what it really is, shady just shady. :?Baxhand

:lol:

Brag?

How is getting 377k systems into people homes for the sale of xbox live and software bragging?

It's called winning.

Sony should take notes.

"It had a year head start" Sony had the majority market share at the start of this gen.

"Its only because of people re-buying because of RROD" People rebuy all hardware for faults or other reasons, and the 360 is covered by a 3 year retroactive RROD and E74 warranty.

"Its because MS are giving away 360 consoles with laptops QQ" Sony does it aswell, lets take a few million sales away from Sony if you want to do it with the 360.

Three excuses that cows never fail to bring up in NPD threads and two of the silliest excuses on SW (atleast the year head start one has some validity).

sadly I was one of those sales since that piece of junk hardware got e74

All the wrong Moves MS, all the wrong Moves will leads to this type of sitchy - perhaps if you did what some here say and pile on the exclusives you could sell some hardware ?! :twisted: :P

Anyhoo, that's Nice for them.

Really don't care at this point since I have both.

MS does it again.

That's until China takes over, and at the rate China's economy is growing, that should be soon.

Goes to show you that not everybody has the same taste as you and that your opinion does not reflect the masses. I know you rather believe everyone that doesn't agree with you is ignorant but that is arrogance rearing its head.

I don't get it. There aren't many games out for any platform. Why are so many people buying 360's? Getting ready for MW3?

They came into this gen with the highest market share, ofc the PS2 marketshare doesnt carry over, but the popularity of the brand name and the fanbase can, even Sony thought they could sell the PS3 on brand name alone.

the wii is like uncle scrooge in his moneybank...and ps3/360 are the beagle boys trying to get in.

Well deserved imo, Microsoft did wonders this generation. :oops:

EDIT: If anyone wants examples...Fantastic online, achievments, kinect, a totally solid libray in all aspects.

[QUOTE="gamer-adam1"]

question does NPD include Canada, or just America?

finalstar2007

Only america and NPD dosent count Amazon sales or wallmart sales even
