Xbox 360 Launch: Success or Mess?

[lazyfatbum]

I'm assuming the PS3 will hit at over 300, i'm thinking actually of a 400 mark or more with one controller and maybe a demo disk. The thing is though, even at 500 for a system and 60 bucks for a video game it will still sell out very quickly because it will be the same 'hard to find' marketing that will generate alot of interest in a quick spurt (especially around Christmas)

Revolution (graphics a side) will have to deal with the idea of being the cheapest system. If Revo is cheaper and easier to get a hold of, it will not be as popular; even if the graphics are better than PS3. People are just idiots like that. But a major game (TP) will counter that.

I think 360 will do really well (in America, europe) as long as people can pick up Halo 3 by the time Rev and PS3 is an option. Once Halo 3 hits (as long as it isnt krap) it will add atleast 3 years of very strong life to 360 meaning that rev and PS3 will then have to find a killer app to combat it. I'm not worried about rev finding a killer app, but a killer app that teenagers want is different... SSB, MP3, they could do it. Sony will focus on Final Fantasy and MGS, but Halo is a completely American franchise, so I expect it to do really really well here.
