Idiotic Fanboy. If you actually knew anything about console sales, PS2 is the top selling followed by Xbox, then gamecube.

Bulk said:Hmm, that's pretty interesting. Although, I'm not surprised. If Microsoft want to beat Sony, they'd most likely side with Nintendo unitl Sony's gone and then simply wipe the floor with Nintendo to be "top dog". That's what I'd do if I were head of Microsoft.
You forget that after that the GC had almost nothing in 2005. =/ Lest ye forget the year of no GC titles.Latios said:As of January 2004,

Rancid Meat said:Interesting plan Microsoft has. I have a feeling they will try to eliminate the more fierce Sony from the competition and plan to beat Nintendo later.
That was about the last month that the Gamecube had higher sales than the XBOX, however. 2003 was a pretty bad year for the Gamecube, so it's no wonder the XBOX caught up so much then.Latios said:I said that wrong, should be at January 2004.
DS sales were insignificant at the time.

You're not often talking about Nintendo as a competitor ...
I talk about Nintendo every day. They are a competitor, but I think they're in a different space. They have spectacular first-party intellectual property that is timeless, that is built around fun, it's character-based in many instances, it's iterations of great franchises that have gone for decades, but it's primarily youth-based. They're also doing, with the Wii controller, which eventually I'll go and get my hands on, things that are innovative that, from the moment I saw them in Tokyo, I was quoted that day as saying that I loved the innovation and that has stayed with me forever, and I don't back down from that, but I think we're in different spaces as two different companies that can certainly coexist and complement each other.
My point would be that I can see exactly where the value proposition and the positioning of the Nintendo Wii; from who it's made for, what the price is, what would be attractive, to which demographic, on a global basis. I think we've made it clear about we are where we are, what you're getting for your $299 or $399, what the value proposition is, titles like Gears of War, Xbox Live Marketplace. Growing our reach on a global basis. In the middle, it's not clear to me, and maybe I need to take a breather and read this weekend what the value proposition is, potentially I read that Blu-ray is worth the $100 to $200 to $300 and I get very confused when Cell technology is a consumer value proposition. And I ask you guys, what does that do for me as a consumer?
