Microsoft Loses Money on every 360 Sold

I dunno, I remember the book better than the movie.

But if I were one of Nintendo's marketers, I would rip off the movie for ads for the revolution: have a monkey holding a PS2 controller, fling it up, and when it comes down it's the revolution controller landing in a smartly dressed gamer's hand. I should so get paid for this stuff.

You can hardly call a 21% drop in sales good business, though. Now, I'm not saying this is going to kill Nintendo, but you ccan't runa business on those kinds of numbers. The GC is selling very poorly so right now the big N is relying on handheld sales, and they really need to have a success in the Revolution.

I guess it can be put this way: for how many years do you think Nintendo can afford to drop sales by 21%?

Many more, like GT said, it's the end of a generation. Plus, it isn't like NIntendo is blowing off the GC, especially since they're still going to put out a handful of games on it. Of course, they aren't putting THAT much effort into it, because in all likelihood, it won't be selling many more from here until the end. But they've made millions off the GC. That's more than Microsoft can say about the Xbox.
 
True Facts for everyone indeed........But i don't like the comments about PS3 and the Blueray........READ MY WORDS!!!.......Blueray is unstable.....Trust me, i know....Much research done on the subject....If Sony plans to use it, there will be many, MANY, disappointed gamers for that system.....Also, the thing about wanting all the systems.....Can't see that happening with me....I was a nintendo fan before the Xbox came out.....Now, I only stick with the best......I may be biased on the subject, but hey technology is what i live for......Besides i cannot stand the Gamecube and PS2 controllers.......
 
Asylum, got any links for the Blueray tech? I'd love to pass those along to some uber-geeks around here that are ready to settle for nothing less than a 25 gig disc.
 
I'll have them to you in a couple of days.....Until then, if they have the HD package, tell them to watch the HD forums on HDNET....I think that is the channel....It's a little hard to follow if you're not "in the biz".....but if your geeks know SOOOOOOO much.......I'll find the info. i have.....
 
thanks. I'll look for the links. I've heard another rumor (true or not, I don't know) that the cheap version of the PS3 will come without HD capabilities. Heard anything about what will be/will not be included in the initial package? I figure they will start making announcements to divert attention away from 360 headlines.
 
If that is true(and i'm not doubting you), then Sony needs to do some real research.....In my previous experience in cable, customers usually had their PS2 as their primary DVD player......Oh, how those people would be pissed if they didn't get HD in the "dumbed-down" package.......U could still get HD with the cheaper version of the 360......I'll check on that.....
