Microsoft: abbiamo vinto la guerra delle console

Pompous statement, solemn, commemorative. There is an objective to celebrate, there is a sbandierare record. Microsoft stirs with safety on the ground of the Xbox 360 and, in the day when Sony also flies in purse thanks to the good result of the PlayStation 3, Redmond intends to make to eat dust to the pursuing forehand autoproclamando the Xbox 360 as the good console of third generation."Microsoft announces that the Xbox 360 have sold 10 million unity in the United States, becoming so the first console of the current generation to demolish the limit of the 10 million. The American base contributes to global sales of over 19 million, more than every other consul [of third generation]. " Data it is such they simply are not thin to if same: this year will be the best in the history of the industry of the video game, the history teaches that the first company to reach sales for 10 million unity wins the battle in his/her generation. We are positioned for establishing a new point of reference for the industry. "Microsoft makes lever on the past to draw the future of the sector today. Besides the 12 million of enrolled consumers to the service Xbox Live, the console entertains well 16 "titles of platinum" that you/they have sold more than 1 million unity (among which Halo 3, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty and the new Grand Theft Auto IV). The issued statement completes besides a direct comparison with the competition: for Xbox 360 exist well 91 titles to have had 80/100 from Metacritic, figure that goes down to 50 on the PS3 and to 22 for Wii.In day Sony had communicated to have reached to level global quota 9 million unity distributed to global level but the comparison with the Xbox 360 you/he/she is obviously spoiled by the delay with which Sony has brought the PS3 on the market (due delay partly to the brave wish to push the format Blue Ray with a strategy that has already rewarded in the slope of the tall definition). On the market USA, that considered by Microsoft (with obvious interest, sees the weakness shown on the oriental front), Nintendo defends him with 8.8 million Wii sold against the 4.4 million of PS3 accredited to Sony by NPD.Rejected, in the meantime, the hypothesis of a new Xbox "540" ready for 2009: Microsoft intends to squeeze until after all the today's console and the next updates you/they could confine to simple revisions hardware (to reduce the problems of reliability experimented), to new controller and to variations minimali of the software.
