The Xbox Quagmire | |

For those who haven't noticed, the reason Microsoft got into the game console business was to "pull a Sony," meaning it intended to take over the console scene and trivialize the competition. The company believed that by using less exotic but state-of-the-art PC parts, along with an online strategy and sheer muscle, it could turn the Microsoft Xbox into the dominant console. That hasn't happened. | ||

What part of Microsoft EXPECTING to lose money on the Xbox over a 5 year period doesn't John C understand?
What part of E3 didn't John get to see that shows the 200+ games out this year? What part of anything does John C understand? |

Ah..lack of marketing. I forgot about all those TV commercials, Magazine Ads, Internet Ads, Bundling, Press Releases, Pricing, Placement up front at all Electronic Stores such as Best Buy, Electronics Botique, Circuit City etc, the physical packaging of the cardboard box that stands out and the millions of dollars they have spent to get their certified logo on the game packaging, TV Commercials as well as their highly debuted and successful live service. Not to mention surpassing the sales of the Game Cube.
Microsoft expects a 5 year loss on this machine, and they have advertised pretty darn well. |
