Comments on: “Believe” this game sells consoles; 22% of 360 shoppers check out Halo 3 http://blog.compete.com/2007/09/24/halo-3-vs-xbox-360-demand-sales/ web insights powered by over 2 million U.S. online consumers Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:51:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Brett Gilbertson http://blog.compete.com/2007/09/24/halo-3-vs-xbox-360-demand-sales/#comment-179039 Brett Gilbertson Tue, 02 Oct 2007 02:54:39 +0000 http://blog.compete.com/2007/09/24/halo-3-vs-xbox-360-demand-sales/#comment-179039 It makes you think that Microsoft's "hang in there" strategy is really starting to pay off. I think History will look back on "Xbox vs Wii vs PS3" as one if the great corporate stories... The original Xbox and Gamecube were minor irritations to Sony that had niche appeal. Fast forward to Xbox 360 and enter the Nintendo WII, and gamers get what they want (a better gaming experience) a year before Sony launch thier overwrought PS3 with Blu Ray technology that nobody needs or wants. Meanwhile Nintendo and Microsoft wander through the open gate. When Microsoft and Nintendo are launching thier next round of games consoles, you know that Sony are still going to be paying off thier last billion dollar debacle while the others bolt. The launch of Halo 3 soldifies the Xbox position. With game franchises like Halo, a growing fan base and increasing loungeroom penetration for Microsoft and Nintendo, the next generation of consoles may well spell the end of the dying Sony gaming dynasty.

Halo will certainly help. It seems that the game area has been pretty dry for the last year or so. The pre-order lines for Halo are certainly encouraging. The fictional short story sites, game sites, and these games/consoles feed each other, and the short story sites have been carrying the day for too long now. You have to turn to them for imaginative stuff, when gaming doesn't give you enough. I know I've personally turned to them, e.g. www.JustExpressing.com, because creative, imaginative people write stuff that is entertaining and "stimulates the thoughts and the brain". Hopefully Halo will also provide entertainment PLUS some thought stimulation ... or am I hoping for too much ? I think the games/consoles have a lot of catching up to do. Halo will certainly help.
