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.

ChampIDC6342d ago (Edited 6342d 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.

evrfighter6342d ago (Edited 6342d 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.

TheDude2dot06342d ago

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

Sonyslave36342d ago

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

LinuxGuru6342d ago

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

baum6342d ago

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

kevanio096342d ago

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

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio18d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
