MARKETING/ TRENDS • XBOX 360 (only console currently on the market) • High Demand, Low Supply • Microsoft sold 1.5 million consoles - 900,000 in North America - Slowly increasing supply to match demand • Sony’s Delay for the PS3 - Could go either way….. • Nintendo - Can Nintendo revive a dying name? • Top notch hardware - HD Graphics - High Power performance • Market Dominance - Software - Hardware
TRADE-OFFS AND THE FUTURE XBOX 360 • Here now with solid games (Call of Duty 2) • Maybe cheaper than the PS3
