Microsoft CFO Liddell: We sell a record breaking 7 games per console

[Zeus]

Microsoft's beleaguered entertainment and device division had been losing billions as it tried to gain traction in the marketplace. However Microsoft's extremely strong earnings which came out yesterday, showed the division's performance had doubled compared to the previous quarter. Microsoft CFO Liddell said that people are now spending more on games and accessories than they are for the underlying console. "We're now at a stage where we sell about 7 games per console and that's a record certainly for any console and relative to history." he said.

"We're now at a stage where we sell about 7 games per console and that's a record certainly for any console and relative to history. So people are now actually spending more on the games and accessories than they are on the underlying console, so that business model that we put in place the last couple of years is certainly starting to fire."

You forgot to mention most 360 games lack vertical synchronization. Even the "top" ones like Gears or Mass Effect :mad:

And that every one of their games is published on PC too

As much as I am a PS3 fan, moreso than a 360 fan, your facts are a little off there.

Lol, did you read the article?

[Attitude]

lol reading the now regular posts by sony fanboys to any xbox 360 news, i can more or less assume you have all finished playing the odd few games that are any good on your consoles :).

[bnolsen]

Back to bullshit number quoting again.
Console has headstart of a year, if you count total games bought ONLY.

If you do the worldwide numbers of software sales over total months of console ownership xbox360 comes in last for attach rate.

Ugh this is getting tiring.

[canadajames]

i buy at least 20 games a console...... beat that. do some people actually get fewer then 7 games or pirate?

dude... the 360 had a game tie in ratio of 4:1 in dec 2005 and 6:1 only a year or so later with the install base growing.

even with half the install base it would still be around 7:1

[sigma8]

I think it's easier to get a 7:1 attach rate when you have XBLA games for sale for under $12 on XBL marketplace. Do they exclude those games from their figures? They are games. People do buy them. They "attach". In the absence of money figures, I'm going to assume that they include those games until proven otherwise.

You forgot to mention that every game out on ps3 can be played on the xbox along with extras like halo and mass effect, people buy 360s for XBL and ps3s for bluray, Gran turismo and personal preference.Your an idiot for bringing this up, your an idiot if you think RRODs are a problem, sufficient ventilation is key for any console. My wii freezes all the time after long gaming sessions yet my 360 hasn't had one problem yet. Beat that fanboy?:D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, gamings peripherals and the games themselves are what boost a consoles appeal, since games are so readily available plus the fact the the 360 is a solid investment its no wonder MS are showing off.

wii: .699 games per month / per owner
ps3 : .648 games per month / per owner
xbox: .603 games per month / per owner

compared with crap numbers of: games per console, no time taken into account.

That comparison is idiotic, when in the history of gaming has anyone compared the amount of games owned to the number of months the system has been out? So what are the ps2 numbers? Cant go the VG from work.

Love how people try and take anything positive MS puts out and trys to twist it so that its a negative.

Either you don't understand what VGchartz put together or Im really stupid.


That chart is showing the Attach rate PER MONTH, what you tried to say is all time sales. Which is it?

Anyway your last sentence is dumb, because you guys trash every single ps3 thread in exsistance Sir.
