see lems without windows xbox would be dead.  vista only came out at the end of jan and it has already sold 40million and x360 has been out 1.5 years now and only 10 million.  it has sold faster than xp did says gates.  with that many sold that quick there is no reason to add vista into the price of gaming pcs since the normal people want it too.

Okay what's your point?  Vista is an OS, it's cheaper than the 360, there are 3 Billion people with PC's, both products are owned by M$.... are you getting the picture?  This is the most stupid argument/discussion I've seen here today.

So ,the OTHER MS platform, windowssells 40 million? And how exactly that is bad for 360 ? If all devleopers make games for windows, then MS has won the gaming war once and for all you know, they would not even need a xbox720, if all casual gamers get a pc with vista

u do know that everytime someone buys a comp that isnt made by mac it counts towards vista sales right. U could also say its owning sony big time. 10mil+40mil is alot greater than whatever sony has sold. people like you need to find better ways to spend your time

there are a lot more pc's sold than consoles every year. it's not a surprise that vista sold well.

and i usually don't add the cost of vista or windows in general because they come with most pc's that normal ppl buy.
for instance you can get a dual core with 1 gig of ram, a 20 inch wide screen lcd, 250 gig harddrive, and dvdrw for $671 off the dell site. that's a normal and good pc that someone would buy. now if you're a gamer just buy a $300 buck video card and you're set.

Vista is the best thing MS could have done to linux. Ubuntu is much more easier to install, has better/more preinstall drivers, more secure, less virus, moe stabile, and is FREE.

Yeah, I'm thinking you're a Cow pretending to be a Hermit, judging from the amount of pointless threads you make and how almost all bash the 360. Either that, or you have some raging, useless hatred for the 360.

You're right. Without Windows, the Xbox never would've been created.

Errr did you forget 95% off Vista sales are non-gamers?

Windows and xbox can't be compared in terms of sales,it's ludicrous to even say that.

Talk about jumping to conclusions...something like 90% of the world's computers run Windoze, is it shocking that a large percent of them would upgrade to Vista?  No. 

Typically large companies with multiple business lines keep their finances seperate, so that if one goes down it won't ruin the other.  It's plausible their Xbox product line sees no funding from Vista at all.  Hard to say.

how can you logically compare OPERATING SYSTEM sales to CONSOLE sales?

this is the dumbest argument ever. Video gamers buy consoles, EVERYONE buys operating systems.

The point I was really trying to get at is that they are two different consumer markets.  A much higher percent of people own a computer (which probably runs windows) than has a video game console.  It really isn't a fair comparison.

I'm pretty sure that xbox 360's aren't packaged in with every single PC sold... although that would be pretty awesome if a pc could play 360 games.

Um in a way it can. Rainbow Six LV, Graw 2, Oblivion,CNC3 etc etc etc but 360 can't play our really good games like World of warcraft ,Company of Heroes, Half Life 2 with Counter strike and other mods,and ofcourse le crem de la crem Crysis.

my point is lemming go on about m$ having limitless money but very little of it put towards xbox so there isn't any point in them going on about how m$ has more money than sony since very little of both companies money is just for gaming

I didn't used to hate x360 but as time has gone on with only one game currently worth getting on x360 that isn't on pc its pointless not to mention all the aragont lems that have made me hate x360 much more than anything else

what has vista sales got to do with 360 sales, guess what, potatoes sell hundreds of time more than that, but you dont see me bragging about it and claiming farmer ownage. Oh and BTW, an OS is software not harware so that makes your comparison even more pointless, there are probably more pc's worldwide than all the consoles that ever exsisted, you make me risk a TOS violation, but I'm bigger than that.
