Pfft, all my friends are 17-18+, and we all bought our Xbox's with our own money.
Besides, you'll only find kids on the kid games, like CoD
Buy Vegas 2, like I told ya.
EDIT: Heh, I've just realised, most of the younger people I know have PS3's, such as the 10 year olds next door, and Dean's lil bro :rolleyes: -

Meh, you'll find that in most games these days, whether it be PC, Xbox, or PS3.
Obviously not the Wii.... Who the hell would own up to cheating on that :rolleyes:
Not like the good old days of Mortal Kombat III, and Super Mario on the SNES.
P.S. Never pay attention to those silly statistics. -

Buy an XBOX and enjoy not being able to play it after it breaks. Everyone I know that has or has owned an XBOX has had it break, and no I'm not being sarcastic. Literally EVERYONE. PS3 seems to be more reliable. I have one and have never had a problem with it, plus playing online is free.SirFarEast wrote: »Shuld i get a ps3 or a xbox360? -

Besides, if they wanted maximum money out of it, they'd have released it during the Autumn break, like Halo, Fallout, CoD, and many other games did.
You sir.. have no idea about marketing
You dont sell games during other high valued releases like Halo and COD... too much cmpetition -

Dude then they would have more competition?
Not every one can afford to buy all of those games at once :rolleyes: -

Tom, I did 2 years of business studies, and business GNVQ in high school...
Anyone knows, you have to compete directly with the competition. Why would Gears give CoD or Halo the edge by making way, at the peak season for game releases? It'd make zero business sense, especially for a game like Gears, with such a cult following. They're aware gamers WILL go out of their own way, in order to get their hands on their product.Dude then they would have more competition?

Which is why they promote, market, and make their product more appealing than any of the others. You've seen the amount of Halo and CoD adverts still on TV lately. -

Im doing it as a degree and you should then know that COD and Halo are TOO much competition and they wont sell as well as if they didnt go up against them.buy an xbox for great games but the down side is that u gota pay for x box live
Has an anime avatar... he must have have good advice -

As I stated, Gears is a cult game, with a huge following, much like CoD and Halo.
People'll buy Gears, no matter when it's released.
But in accordance with your theory of Microsoft aiming to get more money and not wanting competition, by releasing the game at Christmas, why have CoD, Fallout, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Mafia II, Kane & Lynch, and Medal Of Honor, to name but a few, all released their games during the same season, and not December? -

Theyre strategicly released at differemt times during the season.. when people want a new game and are sick of MOH for example... they will buy COD as theyre looking for a new game. Releasing 2 very popular games at the same time is stupid.
Releasing Gears Of War at Christmas is a big money-maker. People are looking for presents and new stuff to buy. Why not by the next big seller? Who buys games in the middle of April? December sells a hell of alot more than April does.
