Aside from the aggressive campaign by "users" they also did several publications, citing it as the only system with parental control, progressive scan, so on and so forth.. despite the contrary. They aren't the first either when it comes to making up words or phrases as logo to use as a "selling point".
cash juggernauts... haha.. well...... sony does do commercials.. but they don't soo heavily advertise or "hype" things up.. the reality is.. had they been more aggressive in their advertising, specifically by citing actual specs, statistics and such, people would be on board with their stuff. case in point, Betamax.. a format that would have had us in the high definition age much sooner, it was superior as a format compared to VHS.. but lack of advertisement on the tech development led to others (like the **** industry) choosing VHS).. Sony has a bad habit of thinking that their name alone will sell a product.. like their sh*t should never stink..
as far as getting caught... anybody with even a modicum of rationale' would easily discover the advertisements of a company posing as a customer. the 360 customers simply lacked that rational mind set, and put stock into the rumors of high praise for a system that frankly, and evidently, was not soo fantastic.
low income gamers... if money was a concern of these customers.. then they, when thinking rationally, did not purchase the 360.. counting that it breaks on average every 4 months.. the average game costing 50-60 bucks lasts from 4-18 hours total, and that it costs an additional fee to play online... additional costs if you wanted to go wirless network, even more for controller battery solutions, prioprietary communications devices.. on and on,.......
in a 15 year period it would cost (NOT COUNTING GAMES) $33,300 to operate and maintain a single xbox 360 (this is counting the cost to replace, because it does, whether it is the customer, the retailer, or the manufacturer, it still costs). Comparing now to the ps3, it averages out to ~$330 for a 15 year period.
I suppose.. like other poor people complaining about their life in the projects then somehow being able to spend money on 22" chrome rims and a sound system, these "low income gamers" have absolutely no rational thinking going on in their heads and would prefer the expensive system because somebody said it was popular/good/"has electrolytes, it has what the body craves"....
you dont need fibre to play it lol. im glad they are doing this, they wont lose money through pirates and hackers. smart move. less money going into scumbags pockets,
