“Perhaps if they licensed the Wii technology from Nintendo....”
Nintendo is the true innovator here. They are being rewarded.
Costing aboout half as much out of the chute didn't hurt, either.
Truly.
But there ain’t no “Halo 3” for the Wii ;)
If I pick up the 360, “Halo 3” will be the only reason.
Yes, so its $50 cheaper than it used to be, still $100 more than a Wii, likely to fail 1/3 of the time and offers nothing innovative at all...
XBOX $20 Billion burned and counting... MS stock holders should be demanding Gates head for continuing this failed business.. $20 BILLION in 7 years, its year head start in the marketplace will be whiped out by Sept by the Wii, and HALO is basically all its got to hang its hopes on... and it won’t be enough.
360 is a ~25 Million unit system... it won’t make the division profitable, and MS will lose even more money having to put out another system in a few years.
Nintendo is the only game company in existence today, its what they do and its ALL they do. They make money on every system sold, and have for ages... Some of the very early Gamecubes were sold at a SLIGHT loss, but they were making money on those shortly after release.....
They have pushed gaming experiences and concepts, and continue to do so. Targeted a broader market with an intuitive and fun system and completely changed the gaming experience. Sony and MS are still button mashing FPS land.... While Big N is delivering some of the first Virtual Reality type gaming in a home system.
