Why is microsoft not listening???

Being first to market is wise, not foolish.

Rushing to market is foolish.

As long as they take the time to create a reliable (and of course, improved) product, I appluad them.

The millions of 360 fans who just recently purchased their console might not agree with me.

If they don't rush, create a reliable console and ensure they have a well spread out lineup of launch and post launch titles...being first to market is totally irrelevant. Therefore, believing it is wise to be first to market is the most foolish thinking of all.

The facts are undeniable. Being first to market has never helped a single console win since the NES resurrected home gaming.

Err...I thought the PSX was first to market in its generation and that helped spur it to victory?

And I thought the PS2 was first to market in its generation which again helped spur it to victory?

I'm sure that's not the only reason (evidence: the Wii whipping the hoohoos off all competitors this generation) but being first to market, being affordable, being reliable, and sporting a diverse/excellent library are always positive items.

There have been many hintings that microsoft is getting ready to announce a new console sometime soon. However, they alreay tried jumping the gun with the 360 and it has had massive hardware problems. Why would they risk having the same problem again and replace a system that is doing fairly well in the the middle of it's lifecycle and probably at the peak of its potential?? Why rush a console just to be 1st and potentially lose billions.ravine1

soon? its rumored to be 2010 november. Thats 5 years after 360's launch.

they can easily learn from their mistakes and make better hardware. Remeber XBox cycle was 4 yrs, 360's is gonna be 5 at the least.

MS also stated they will continue to sell 360 as long as it sells, even if the next Xbox is released.

Apparently YOU dont listen.

microsoft already said the 360 is going to have a much longer lifecycle since it's actually doing better than the 360. only reason why you're hearing rumors of another console is because people actually thought microsoft was going to ditch the 360 and release a new console in 2009.

you mean like sony just did with the ps3?

microsoft has been making a profit off the 360 for well over a year,why would they change that?

Actually both the Saturn and Dreamcast came to the market before the PSX and PS2.

the saturn was only released first by about a month, comparing it to 360 is nonsense microsoft has the money, the advertising and the games, saturn did not.

*ps1 had reliability problems as well*

Dreamcast was released upto all most 2 years before the ps2.

*the ps2 had reliability problems as well*

P.S: as to the topic at hand? microsoft isn't listening? odd just recently they released a new DRM thing for games on 360 so that games are no longer tied to the console but the xbox live account, now all those people that complain about having logon to xbox live to play those games can now transfer them and they dont have to logon any more.

Being first to the market is different from being rushed to the market.

NES came first to the market and prevailed, even if it was with the help of illegal contracts with developers.

Saturn was rushed to the market, and failed.

Ps2 came first in relation to Xbox and GCN, and succeded.

They messed up with some manufacturing issues with Xbox 360. Lets not forget that the original Xbox didn't have any hardware issues.

So it was unfortune it what happen to the 360 but its being addressed and I would expect the next Xbox to be very reliable.

Plus didn't they say the next console in 2010 at the earliest. thats like more the 2 years away.
