Xbox 360 Not Wanted As Much As Wii/PS3 Amongst Teens For Holiday Earlier today we reported on the Game Crazy 2009 games wishlist survey here at Blend Games. In addition to the games wishlist, Game Crazy also released data on a console wishlist as well, and it appears that tweens and teens have very little interest in the Xbox 360, or rather, none at all.
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.
Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.

every tween who's ever wanted a 360 already has one. i myself, couldn't hold myself from buying one to play halo 3 back then
Fail MW2 is the most wanted game this holiday guess what consoles it selling the most on xbox 360 lol.
What do teens know, anyway? :)
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Hey, if any of you teens get a 360 and don't want one, send it to me. I would like to try Mass Effect and Alan Wake, whenever it gets released.
The 360 is slowly losing its popularity.. I went to Best buy today to pick up Ratchet and Clank and Tekken 6.. Saw 2 people carrying PS3s to the check out counter, a guy behind me was also buying Ratchet and Clank, in the PS3 games section there was me and 4 other people looking at PS3 games while only 2 other people in the 360 games section looking at games.
I think from here on out the PS3 will be seen as the console of choice for true gaming while the 360 has peaked in my opinion.
Yeah most people brought a 360 to begin with, but some are now upgrading to PS3, Few I know.
