Seriously, this and mad world, Companies should take a note from the marketing done on gears, the game could suck but you would think the game is a freaking god sent piece of software by the marketing, no doubt
Next gen will be a offcial mix of 50 50, you will see more games being downloaded, some will be ok with waiting a day to dled while others will want to go that day get a box, so it will be a transition era of systems, the ones following that for sure it will more like 80, 20
Even with 50 GIG games, people will still just download them however they will need to make people want to do that
A) they are paying for shipping
B) they are paying for packagin...
Thank You, Called it, I swear I must have 20-40 posts in the past year on this site, that said all this doesnt matter once google enters the gaming fold its game over, they can out spend and out market any of their competitors with creativity and cash
Seriously google would own the gaming market and I welcome it, GOOGLE4L
Life is going to get ugly around N4G for a while, as IQs drop and prices are argued very fun to watch
Activison is the devil with the devil at the helm
I boycott their games, EA has turned out to be much better than they were 5 years ago.
The problem the appeal stops at the price,
casual buyers likely will be new buyers which will mean, they likely have a Wii, or will know for 50 dollars more, they can get a Wii
Which has Established names Mario etc and Established Rep and Games
Kinect has now fallen where Sega fell, you add something that is close to the same price as a new console, you have now added a lot of inventory that wont sell
I think the bundle will sell through, but the stand alone will sit and get dusty, which means most with 360s will not fork that over, I would love to see the stats on bundles vs stand alone
Sega and MS must really be hanging out and trading ideas
The problem the appeal stops at the pr...
Kinect you poor soul, you will now fail, started off with promise, you showed the people something different but you failed to grab a entry price point, looks like PS Move is the way to go now.
Skittles
Wrong, OMEGA per usual, you cant compare the PS3 system to the bundle as the massive "4GB" make that comparison null and void
Now do the 299.99 Xbox (with a HARD DRIVE)+Kinect Seperate to do a real comparison then tell me the price math wizard???
Skittles!
Here we go, let the rounds begin
Really, how many times have you had 4 players playing? 2 Is fine, what will be really interesting if it ever goes online, and brings in more players....
But with its pricing, I doubt a lot of things about Kinect now.
If you havent played it nor plan to buy it, then dont come off calling it not diverse considering you dont know enough about its content, Forest Gump
Why is it every article your on you come off as dumber than the one before?
Listen up Mr Forest Gump IQ
Your in no position to tell me what you think I am in position to do nor judge, because my BA was in Technology, I took cross functional classes on society and its effects both marketing and pricing have, which includes a multitude of venues, walk away kid before you look like a fool.
Back on topic child, Kinect will not sell because of its pricing, stand alone wise, however the bundle will.
oh MS you have no stumbled out of the gate, you pulled a PS3 at 599 like a handicap, Kinect will now fail.
Well there you have it folks, Im not sure what kind of research they do but I am an IT Director at my Job and I have a masters in Psychology and one thing we learned over and over on pricing vs the public was 99.99 is the golden number period, its one Bill, its under 100 it makes people feel like adopting
This also teaches you another thing, a stand alon...
Im ready for the Mafia to be in my House killing MOFOs
No NO, you dont get it, ONCE you can only get a game DLed through the publishers, they will be out of business and trust me, they are working on having the ability to do that as we speak, and lets be honest who cares about PC games, this is about Consoles games is where Gamestop makes most of their money, and NO, you cannot download consoles games from GameStop
Publishers will go to no end to eliminate others from making money if they can
You know its crazy that 2 bad@ss games have already come out
GOW3 and ME2
and we still have Reach and GT5 to go
2010 is a great year for gamers
Now you just sound like a biased fool, Ive read many articles backed up by facts and people like you with your IQ issues and loyalty to your unit still cant accept it, slow your roll kid
Of course you have all the offended lamers crying out because this article offended their self esteem, however its totally true
The PS3 at this point is still a very Single Player system, a great one at that
Uncharted and God of War
360 screams from the get go, GET ONLINE AND COMMUNICATE WITH Friends, there is marketing and a head set in the box to say that to you
when you open a PS3 you go oh, nice looking, you turn it on it...
