MS is rich, but not that rich. They could probably buy EA, but everyone seems to forget that Sony is alot more than just video games. Sony has a booming electronics market. Although i dont have any data on the respective companies net worth, Im pretty sure, that if u take into consideration Sony game division, Sony TVs, cam corders, cameras, DVD/Blu-Ray Players, Sony Music, Sony Movies....i dont think MS can realistically afford it.II_Seraphim_II

How much EA games do you have? I have only Criterion games that can be considered as EA, nothing more

I hate madden but its true.

With the 3 year warranty (which only covers rrod) up for renewal this year for some launch buyers, could 360 be the first 3 year console?

EDIT:

IF MS extended the rrod warranty again, that is good for owners but isn't it also like admitting that 3yr wasn't enough and that they did not manage to fix it yet?

That's not what he said.

[QUOTE="gamenux"]Do anyone know how many MS sold or how many they shipped in their 1st year?gamenux

They shipped 11.6 million by the end of 2006.

If that is the case, then they only shipped another 6.1 in 2007.

11.6 + 6.1 = 17.7

[QUOTE="---OkeyDokey---"]hey, whats with all the vg chartz hatred :? i don't understand it.Koalakommander

pins thinks they are off by so much that it would put the 3 consoles in completely different positions than they are now.

Amazing.

[QUOTE="pins_basic"][QUOTE="Koalakommander"][QUOTE="pins_basic"][QUOTE="Koalakommander"]

I use them personally and believe they accurately represent how the market is working in a basic way. I don't "spread BS" by claiming "ownage" with VG's numbers.

Koalakommander

That is complete and total BS. What do you consider the general area? Within 300k? 400K?

I look at software sales more than anything. The hardware sales on the front page do show the general working of the market. Even if they are off by a half mil -- which no one can really prove right now can they?

I know Wii is outpacing the 360 and leading it by 2-3 mil

I know the 360 is leading PS3 by around 7 mil.

I know the PS3 is gaining ground, but probably only has 7-8 mil consoles out there.

I don't see why you have so much beef with VG chartz. I know people abuse them on SW and they are inaccurate,

But you act like for all we know the PS3 could be leading the market because that's how off VG chartz are -- which they arnt. I said a "basic", "general", representation of how the market is working.

Forza 2 started getting bundled with the 360 recently, and VG chartz showed that -- that's all i care about, stop spazzing.
