Say what you want about it. The fact of the matter is, it's making them a lot of money right now, and there's no reason to replace it yet. Are they working on the next gen? Sure, but there's no reason to let the cat out of the bag yet and give people a reason to wait for it instead of getting a 360. » Login to reply to this

has it already been 5 years already ? Perhaps xbox 720 isnt too far away after all ... I'm betting they test drive Natal for a year on the 360 and then come out with an improved version with the launch of the xbox 720 at that time. I can't say I see that much of a point graphically however. I just don't see the generational leap in graphic power the other consoles had happening anytime soon. » Login to reply to this

Motion controls are optional. Sure a lot of devs try to force them in ways that aren't needed, but they make a classic controller with for the Wii as well. Many traditional games, especially ports like CoD, would likely use the classic controller. I'm fine with that. I don't hate motion controls, I hate when developers think motion controls is nothing more than using a waggle to emulate a button press. That sucks. » Login to reply to this

Uh online sales through Xbox Live last year was over a billion dollars. I think they are making a profit just off the Xbox live aspect of the console since I would be suprised I'd they spent over a billion on the 360. Number uses Live account fees as well as downloads. » Login to reply to this  Terrak (782)   Jan 12, 2010 - 06:38 pm | Edited on Jan 12, 2010 - 06:40 pm Im not denying that the 360 is making a profit now, but what about the 3 years before that when it wasnt? What about the 1billion dollar RROD fixing bill? What about the R&D costs of the 360? Marketing costs? Billions of dollars needed simply to launch a console. My point is sure its making a profit now, however its more like paying of the debt its racked up in the years it wasnt making money not to mention its R&D and Marketing before it was even released. After it pays that off it has to earn enough to pay for the next console, and im not even going to estimate how many billions of dollars thats going to take. My assumption seems correct, both sony and microsoft will not be able to release a successor console around the time nintendo release the successor of the Wii, which should be 2011-2012 (oh no its the end of the world!!) That is unless it again comes out of there own pocket. » Login to reply to this  Terrak (782)    Jan 13, 2010 - 04:25 pm Im far from a hardcore Wii gamer lol. I am a PC gamer through and Through, but from time to time i dont mind a change, so the Wii offers that to me. » Login to reply to this  FSgeeK (664)    Jan 12, 2010 - 09:55 pm Ya but admit if you told your friends you were a hardcore Wii gamer, wouldnt they think you were abit of a wuss? » Login to reply to this
