Why the Xbox 360 will outsell the Wii

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:42:00 GMT

Firstly let’s look at how the numbers stack up. According to the best guesses there are about 30 million Nintendo Wiis in the world, 20 million Microsoft Xbox 360s and 15 million Sony Playstation PS3s. So the Wii has currently sold 50% more than the 360. And 10 million is a lot of units to make up. Here is how it will happen: As this site has been predicting for a long time the Xbox 360 is now $199. This is the price point at which historically 75% of consoles sell. However the 360 has got to this point very early in its life, so far, far more than[More...]

Wii and HDTV

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:48:28 GMT

Of the 3 current generation consoles the Nintendo Wii is the only one that is not HD. This has brought them several advantages. The consoles are cheaper to manufacture so they can be sold at a profit, unlike the HD consoles from Microsoft and Sony. In addition the Wii can have games developed for it far more quickly and cheaply because a far smaller number of pixels are being manipulated.HDTV puts about four times the number of pixels on the screen compared to the conventional TV standard we have grown up with. When consumers see this, it is such a huge leap in performance that they want it. But at the moment...[More...]

A (Brief) Review of the Gaming Landscape - Oct 30 2007 12:17PM

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:11:40 GMT

In case you're not in the mood to read this post, let me give you the punch line: Nintendo has disrupted the console gaming industry, the responses to which are just now being fully revealed by Microsoft and Sony. And it isn't pretty. This is not to say, however, that Halo 3 hasn't given the Xbox 360 platform a kick in the butt. It has. But hit games are like hit movies - they are hard to come by. And now that we are in the third phase of the Halo sequel, what is the next smash hit in the Xbox 360 pipeline? Because, my friends, the hits business, whether in music, movies or games, is a tough road for building a long-term, broad-based business franchise. And discount rate at which one present values such uncertain long-term cash flows is very, very high. In any event, you can read more about the impact[More...]

Fed minutes at 2 pm.That’s it for my take on the markets! We need to be ready for anything at 2pm as the Fed will confirm or deny everyone’s hopes and dreams regarding future direction but I don’t see how "Wall Street’s Bitch" would suddenly turn on its master and the traders are certainly acting like the minutes are already in the bag with a friendly Fed continuing to shower money on the speculators, insuring them that no investment, no matter how stupid, will ever go sour.Earnings season officially kicks off tonight wil AA after the bell and later in the week we will hear from a a few other market movers but the big guns don’t start firing until next week.
