Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Prevails Against All Odds

This November we will be celebrating the seventh birthday of ’s well known 360.  After seven years the Xbox 360 is still outselling all of the other consoles.  It is because of the steady incline in sales that we wont likely hear of a new system releasing at the Electronic Expo (E3).  We can still dream, though.

Can you blame them?  They are sitting pretty with an Xbox LIVE population of roughly 40 million.  Since November 2005, they have sold 67 million consoles, and since November 2010, they have sold 19 million Kinect sensors.    They are still making money off of a system that has proven its ability to adapt to the new , demands, and trends that consumers are constantly looking for.  With the Kinect addition and the flooding of advanced dashboard applications, they have given us no need to look beyond this .  However, I could just be biased since I switched from to strictly Xbox six years ago.

    E3 stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo which brings new info on new videogames, it comes each year and for free you could watch on channel G4 (channel 191 on dish network.).
    I think it was MGS4, COD4, Mass Effect, Rock Band, and Wii Fit. Didn’t see much Halo to get me hyped.

    The Nintendo Wii has emerged with record sales, along with the DS placing its maker above Sony and Microsoft in hardware sales. It has seen significant hits such as Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy, both of which borrowed off of extremely popular existing franchises. However, at the 2008 E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) conference, Nintendo was a comparative disappointment with casual games such as Wii Music and Animal Crossing being their only major announcements. Absent were Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus; and even Pokemon’s absence was a mild letdown considering Nintendo’s reputation. While Wii Sports most notably has become wildly popular amongst casual gamers, I suspect that if Nintendo alienates its fanbase sales will gradually become alienated from Nintendo.

  3. ” I have been counting the days till E3 07 since E3 06, and as this Electronic Entertainment Expo commenced, i found myself growing sadder and sadder. They had about 20 games on the floor, most of them had meager news to report. No big announcement, no big surprise, no booth babes, and noboby but reporters and stuffy buisnessmen. It was held in a hangar for crying out loud, it was reported that even the video game companies represenatives thought it was a joke, hell Square Enix waked out half way through. So my questons are these.

    1. Is E3 dead or just severly crippled

    2. Did you also find it dissapointing and uneventful

    3.What do you think the repercussions will be to the organisers of E3

    E3 = Electronic Entertainment Expo.

    Also you don’t have to tell me about how E3 isn’t the way it use to be, I already know.

  5. How come people think PS3 has 256Mb ram when it has 512Mb of ram reason why 360 fanboys whine about it and considers it a CONS.

    It is 512Mb since XDR is for main system memory and the other 256Mb is shared for CPU and GPU performance a total of 256 so does 360 it must be divided for somehow if not then it uses cache for the graphic memory which is primitive Structure right back in E3 2005 Sony explained the gap between all of supercomputers where PS3 cell overpass them all and can operate twice as Xbox can now this figure change because there is no game actually do this or achieve this high level of processing.. and reason why it’s change people think it’s the same no it’s not the same. Now this will be change with the Upcoming Uncharted 2 among of thieves since Sony and Naughty dog is trying to make the first game to feature or use all the power of PS3 reason why they update 2.80 firmware just for a game, which is the Uncharted 2.

    Sony said reason why there is no such a prove it is advance because they admit that it is difficult to program the CPU but when they did they finally achieve the future of what they expected,

    Why won’t people believe this fact?

    Here is my source which you don’t remember cause people forget it.

    Back In

    Electronic Entertainment Expo 2005 ( E3 2005 ) when PS3 was introduced watch the video you can clearly see the reasons and explainations people seem to forget this time to time why won’t they remember it so they won’t lose confident that PS3 is by far better and this is the reason how argument of which is better started.

    You can watch it by searching google typing E3 2005 Sony press conference at Gamespot.com

    Now tell me after watching the video.. Do you agree with me that PS3 is better? If not give a counterfeit issue and a valuable issue in terms of hard ware i don’t need because Xbox has Live this that more game not that something like hard ware..

    And Main question is How come People’s perspective change from the image of what PS3 should look like? which it should be advertised as the world most advance supercomputer and 360′s gap is 1 mile away?

  6. I’m going to upgrade to a Microsoft Xbox because my Nintendo Wii is defected. So should I buy an Xbox now, or wait until the next E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in June 2011 for a possible announcement of an updated version of the Xbox?

  7. I’ve been wanting to buy several new game consoles and games in large amounts for a low price so that I may resell them. I am currently selling clothing via the internet and I’m hoping selling games will give me more business. I will give a best answer so please be detailed with your answer. Thank you!

    So if I opened a company that produces video game consoles (like Sony,Microsoft and Nintendo), and if it would become very successful, how much money would I have after 5 years?

    How hard would it be to buy broken games consoles and fix them up? I want to buy some that are very cheap and try and fix them up and then sell them on ebay but how hard would it be to fix up a games console? Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this? And would I be able to make a good profit from doing this?

    Thanks in advance :)

  10. Basically, old retro consoles and games and accessories. Not thinking about PC’s yet, I can see they would take up most of my time testing.
    I love old retro games and consoles, just hope there are more people out there like me.

  11. What is different in E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) NOW?

    As opposed to the E3 of 2006, when is was “Canceled” and suggested that it will never happen again.

    My friends got in to E3 2002, by creating a company and applying as a Gamer Magazine “inc.” Executive. they were given VIP treatment because of the Legitimate Gamer magazine confusion. They met a dozen Star Actors, and even more classic game designers.

    We attempted the same in 06, but were turned away because of over 1 million people trying to get in.

    Just curious how its different now for anyone who has been to both…

    Is it worth making an effort to get into? (before it was canceled it was one of my life goals.)

    I know you can “enable” progressive scan on Xbox’s and Gamecubes, but how? Ive heard that for Xbox you pull both triggers and click both sticks, and with the ‘cube you hold b, but how do you know if you’ve activated it? Im playin on an LCD Monitor, so its progessive scan enabled, but Im not sure how to get the consoles to run progessive scan. Also, do you HAVE to have component cables for it? Im using S-video for both the xbox and gamecube. Will I have to get component cables? And is it possible to get component for the gamecube when it has an analog inteface, not a digital one like the first ones made. Thanks.

  13. E3 = Electronic Entertainment Expo.

    Also you don’t have to tell me about how E3 isn’t the way it use to be, I already know.

  14. With sales of video game hardware decreasing, the only way to boost the video game market would be to release the next (8th) generation of consoles. However, I don’t see how they are going to improve on the current 7th generation consoles. High definition graphics are now near-perfect, and interactive motion-sensitive games (Wii/Kinekt) are probably as good as they are going to get.

    Does anyone have any ideas or predictions how video gaming can move forward?

  15. I have started to upload videos to youtube but i have noticed that in the description of some youtube videos, they have a bit that says extra tags and it has loads of popular words that people search alot so basically their videos gets found by people that might be searching for something else. So can someone give me some up to date popular tags to be put in the description. If you still dont get what i mean then its like this
