Why products fail

Why do some people prefer Windows XP and Mac OS X over Windows Vista? After all, Vista is pretty and sleek and much more advanced than XP, and, in many areas, Mac OS X. Why is there so much love for Xbox, but none for Windows Mobile?

The answer to these questions is a mystery to most of the companies that make PCs, gadgets, consumer electronics devices and to software makers. The industry spends billions on usability testing and user interface design. Unfortunately, that money is mostly wasted.

I think the 360 succeeds because of it's software, and ease of use. It has the best game library hands down. Then software modifications and updates have kept Live interesting and on the forefront of what an online service should be.

ChampIDC6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

I'll agree with you on everything but the game library. The PS3 definitley caught up to the 360 in 2008, and PC always has good games.

evrfighter6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Ill also agree to this. Also I'm with champ in that the ps3 has no game library argument is now defunct. 2008 saw a major jump in ps3 games.

TheDude2dot06322d ago

The only thing I prefer over PS3 is how quick updates are downloaded.

Sonyslave36322d ago

lol just because mgs4 is out ps3 caught with the xbox in games lol wtf

LinuxGuru6322d ago

It's not just MGS4 pal, learn to look past your nose.

High price, high failure rate, doesn't do what it was intended, not all it's cracked up to be, better/cheaper alternatives on the market, unwanted and unnecesary, draconian anti-consumer politics, lack of marketing, lack of consumer support, bad press, bar word of mouth, fanboy's malicious word of mouth, ignorance, lack of compatibility, corporate interests

kevanio096322d ago

Apart from high failure rates...which console are you talking about?

Assassin’s Creed 1 Remake Reportedly in Development

A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.

Goodguy0112h ago

Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol

Cacabunga6h ago

The most repetitive and boring ass game I have ever played. I wont get it even for free.. I had nightmares of this game it was utter garbage.

PRIMORDUS6h ago

The company is called Ubishit for a reason 😂

Out of curiosity how old are you ? 2007 was a great year for gaming, and it was one of the most impressive and enjoyable games of that year, probably in the top 10 of most people.

MDTunkown1h ago

@Aloren Assassin's Creed 1 at that time was a good looking game and in unique settings the game also hinted at an serious story but game play wise it was a short game with boring missions and basically no side activities beside flag collecting so ironically many back then played the game for story.

But the game didn’t aged as good as other heavy hitters from 2007 like bioshock, crysis, half life and etc.

Relientk7712h ago

If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements

Lionsguard7h ago

This was one of my most hyped games back in the day only to be let down so damn bad. AC2 made up for it but yes, this is one game that doesn't just deserve a remake, it needs to be stripped down to the bare parts and completely rebuilt from the ground up because it's problems were basic and fundamental and if those things aren't fixed, no fresh coat of paint is going to fix it.

Alek8311h ago

Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.

Inverno11h ago

We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?

ravens527h ago

Finally. Bring back Desmond and finish his story. 🤦🏾 Yall fcked up massively killing him and that future story.
