"I'm sorry but Sega and Nintendo did nothing but trash each other
Sega does what Nintendont"
You have to be joking...
A cute little marketing slogan is somehow comparable to Microsoft employees secretly trying to trash a competitors exclusive in gaming forums???
Fake.
Keep this garbage off this site.
Get use to hearing it. It's become the defacto excuse for Microsoft lying about what Kinect is actually capable of.
Kinect is all Microsoft has left with the Xbox 360. Most of the gaming press isn't willing to trash it because to do so pretty much means the end of the Xbox 360. Without the Kinect hype the Xbox 360 is looking at a barren 2011 and beyond.
"MS are flooding the market with Kinect AND withholding stock to simulate demand at the same time to meet their sales goal! /s "
Every indication that is exactly what they are doing.
Tons of stock for brick and mortar stores
Trickling in stock for online stores of the stand alone Kinect units to keep them just on the verge of selling out and being in stock so you get the sold out stories in the press
Tons of stock f...
"Huge price to pay for a little bit of boob. Where's my 2011 line-up, Mr. Microsoft?"
This really is just inexplicable by Microsoft.
You would think Microsoft would give the casual/Oprah stuff a try and if it is obvious it is going to be a massive Wii type hit in the market, fine go right ahead and give the existing Xbox 360 userbase the finger and move on to trying to get Wii type sales.
But what possible sense does it make to ...
There really isn't any luck needed.
Microsoft will do just like they have done in the past and flood the retail channel with inventory to make sure they can claim to have reached their sales goal.
They did the same back in the first year of the 360 where they stuffed the retail channel with so many extra 360 consoles to make their '10 million sold' claim that they ended up shipping no new 360 consoles for the entire following quarter because there...
"Of course these estimates differ from actual tracking data. That's why they're estimates."
Random numbers are different from actual tracking data too. That doesn't make them 'estimates'.
Vgchartz is a site that puts out deliberate lies to support its own fanboy agenda.
You really have to boggle that the idiot behind vghchartz fake sales numbers has spent some 4 years of his sad little life playing fanboy games d...
kaveti6616,
LOL...you don't understand what market value of Microsoft the company is.
Look at the market value of MSFT in 1999/2000 when Ballmer became CEO
Look at the market value of MSFT today
Subtract the difference...
Ask for help if you can't do the arithmetic...
It's Pachter, not Patcher.
Lie

Estimate
http://www.google.com/dicti...
That wasn't so hard to understand, now was it?
Estimates? No...
Vgchartz pathetic fanboy game is:
* Leverage Microsoft being the only console maker that still uses shipment numbers instead of actual console sales.
* Use the extra 2-3 million shipment numbers for 360 consoles to pad out 360 sales. Usually in Europe because that is the region with the least amount of reliable sales data
* Inflate 360 sales numbers as far as the kid making them up thinks he can get away with...
No vgchartz fake sales numbers aren't 'estimates'.
Estimates are something someone does in good faith trying to arrive at a yet unknown result.
Vghchartz is nothing more than deliberate lies.
God, just go away vgchartz.
I think Microsoft is done making console hardware.
Looking back over the past few years there have been stories about how Microsoft was looking for hardware companies to make Xbox hardware. No one was ever interested.
I don't think Microsoft really wants to be in the console hardware business. It is something they have no internal capabilities like Sony does. They would rather be in a situation like they are with Windows where they just collect licensing ...
The article really is off in fantasy land.
Microsoft has been closing down their internal studios for the past three years. They are throwing huge amounts of cash at trying to turn the old Xbox 360 hardware into a Wii type device.
Microsoft no longer is in the position they were in back in 1999/2000 when their stock was rising like made and they felt like there was no limit to the cash they were willing to throw at markets.
Those days are lon...
ULTIMATE_REVENGE> When I said nothing to play I meant the PS2 has much more variety than the PS3 in terms of games for the 'JAPANESE GAMERS'
Then why is the PS3 at 3 times the price of the PS2 outselling it by 10 times in Japan?
>You mean in one region, only. Japan, right?
Huh?
The 2010 numbers for the PS2 are something like 5.5 million or so, the 360 is 5.8 million.
Those numbers are worldwide.
Doesn't say much for Microsoft's marketing if they are just barely outselling a ten year old console.
"Keep spending that money MS"
Microsoft got greedy and blew it. If they had just spread around enough money for a few major gaming sites to give somewhat low review scores it would have been devastating.
Instead the GT5 review scores are just getting laughed about for being ridiculous.
How can gamers do anything but laugh at 'reviewers' who:
* Give GT5 a lower review score than GT Prologue got from their ver...
