When Will Microsoft Own Up to the XBox 360 Bomb? [view article]
Misconception #1: Japanese are nationalistic when it comes to Video Games. False - World Of Warcraft is huge in japan, Crash Bandicoot did extremely well, Tetris is huge. I submit that it's not a nationalistic issue but a quality issue.Misconception #2: American's dont like RPG's. Sales figures of Final Fantasy, Xenosaga, TEars series are all comparable to Jp sales... THe big difference between Jp and America and Eu and America is AMerican Football... Madden will not top the sales charts in Jp or Eu (but no even mentions this fact...)
Great Article, it's obvious that M$ strategy is to take the hits in hopes of establishing a foothold in this mythical set top box future. Which is funny because i would think the market would tend toward portability, why worry about a set top box when you can do all that stuff and more on you iPhone?
The HD push is madness and (i dont know the figures) but seemed to be a bad gamble. I have a ps3 and probably will get a 360 (for completion) but no way i'm shelling out the dough for and HDTV and i'm hardcore!
There is also the myth of video games being Mass Market, which i guess is true if you define Mass Market as elemteray school to college males. DS was the first true Mass Market machine it attempted to cross genders and age groups, i have yet to see this with either systems. The wii has some mass market titles on the horizon... and yet you here Mass Market bandied around (especially within the industry)... Movies/Music is mass market, hits all ages, classes, genders etc... Until my grandma calls me up talking about the latest gaming triumph she accomplished i think we are a far ways away from being mass market...
Just my 2 (barely coherent) cents... Apr 19 12:31 PM
