360 add on may be good afer all.

[JTK]

Someone help me understand this "logic":


I literally see people arguing in the same breath something like this:

"Not many people who buy PS3's will buy that many BD movies/or care" <- or something to that effect, but in the same instance, they will say:

"This Xbox 360 HD-DVD add on is selling/going to sell like hotcakes. A lot of PS3 buyers don't even own HDTV's. "

^^ There's a decent amount of 360 owners that I've seen that somehow don't own HDTVs, but do people really think the vast majority of PS3 buyers that are going to pay upwards of $500-$600 for this thing aren't HDTV owners?

I can't tell you how many people I've run into over the past two years, on and off the Internet, who had the PS3 circled on their calendars as the day they would buy their first HDTVs, if they hadn't already.





Obviously you have at least one MS employee spinning and FUD-ding about attach rates and people lapping that up like Gospel fact, like they always do, but honestly, how can you have it both ways?


Either gamers are going to care about HD movies or they are not.


That being said, I just don't see this thing moving 400,000-500,000 units in a handful of months like the PS3 is going to off of nothing else but "Tickle Me Elmo" hype.

Does anyone REALLY expect the 360 HD-DVD add on to break anywhere close to big numbers like that?

I just don't see it. How long, realistically, will it take MS to SELL even 100,000 of these things, if ever?


It may do pretty well for itself, but I just don't see how this thing can really be considered the "Ps3 equalizer" or "cancelling out the PS3" regardless of how much I try to spin Amazon sales figures and the rest of it.

Do you all get it?
