That was good discussion of the console battle roundup. For the most part I agree with what Microsoft needs to do is stick with appeasing the hardcore, that’s Microsoft’s market and it’s working for them. Just look at all the 360 software sells slaughter the competition and microsoft is doing very well from that. Nintendo took all those casual 100 million PS2 owners from last gen but they only buy 2 or 3 games a year. That’s Nintendo’s market, nobody can compete with Ninty when it comes to the casual mainstream. Sony is directly competing with Microsoft for the Hardcore but have not managed to grasp the market from MS. Microsoft did very well with the hardcore market but can they keep it in terms of new apps and killer AAA games which is where I see Sony trying to get to? I think game developers look at software sells and see where the sweet spot in the market is (from a developer standpoint) which should definitely bring more quality games to the 360 in the future.

Sounds like yall are conceeding this race to Nintendo haha.

As for software sales on Wii no need to be worried. If it has 100 million userbase, then as long as they bye 2-3 games then we’ll have 200-300 platinum titles.

I’m not worried about software on Wii. I mean this year some software didnt' sell as well, but that’s because Wii base was growing. It wasn’t sitting like 360’s was from previous year of sales. Now wii has got a sitting base that buys software, so it should be better. Same for PS3, just not as much.

I thought you were hardcore, Zucas? Oh that’s right, you want a 360 to satisfy your gaming appetite. I see now.
