Why isnt the 360 a runaway success?

[QUOTE="-Ninja_Dog-"]

Ah screw it... because people are stupid.

360 needs to be in your damn house. Simple as that.

Why so it can break?

[QUOTE="Carmilla31"]The Wii is a console juggernaut pretty much demolishing everything. The PS3 is selling like garbage for two reasons, price and lack of games. So whats the 360s problem? The 360 has been selling 'ok' since its launch. It has awesome games, awesome graphics, and is priced pretty darn well for what you get. So why isnt it getting above average sales? The 360 isnt showing anything other than a console that will finish a meek #2 to the Wii. I really cant understand what the 360 can do better than what its currently doing...HoldThePhone

1. It's $400, for some reason people think thats pocket change compared to $600.

2. Lack of games, believe it or not the 360 doesn't offer much more then PS3.

3. Everybody is still playing their ps2, which is currently better then all 3 next-gen systems combined

The main reason is that the Xbox brand is not a household name like the playstation and Nintendo brands therefore many will overlook it. It does not help that they have too compete with the Wii and the fact that many are not abandoning the PS2 yet and by the time they choose to make the step to the next gen they will either pick a wii (beause its cheap and Casual Friendly) or PS3( Due to their past experience with Sony's Consoles and by the time people make the leap to next Gen their will be a Price cut and quite Possibly a greater line up of games.)

the games might not appeal to everyone cause the 360 is a shooter console

what he said...Everybody is still playing their ps2.

MS gave up on the XBOX, while Sony was still enjoying their success with the ps2.

The Wii is not a runaway success right now either.

I don't think there was a possibility for ANY of the three to be a runaway success this generation. The industry has grown so much since 2001 that all three will do well, but none will completely dominate like the PS2 did last gen. More and more people are buying more then one console this time around.

after the holiday season the wii will pretty much stop

a Few reasons

• Microsoft killed their brand in Japan with the original XBox and its crappy shooters. A bad reputation is hard to eliminate
• Sony is synonymous with multimedia, Nintendo is the second hippes company in the world after apple, Microsoft is known for PC software. Just not cool
• Broken hardware, online prices and Microtransactions
