Comments on: Reality check on Xbox 360

It didn't take long for some gamers to start griping about the new consoles. But just how widespread are the problems?

Not a Single XBOX Ad This Weekend!!!!

What's happened to the XBOX??? I didn't see a single XBOX ad this weekend? I saw iPOD ads from dogs that wag their tails to the beat to alarm clocks specifically designed for them; but not a single XBOX ad!

I smell a cover-up here!

RE: Not a Single XBOX Ad This Weekend!!!!

When was the last time you've EVER seen a TV/Radio ad marketing blitz by Microsoft? When was, BEFORE Apple's "coup" with the iPod that THEY had a huge TV/Radio marketing blitz?

Dude... Be intelligent and stop being the blind sheep that you reveal yourself to be in your posts! I'm sure you've heard the old saying "History Repeats Itself", so why don't you believe that is EXACTLY what is happening now? You are blind to the fact that you are told what YOU want to hear and believe! Microsoft ranked number two in the Top Ten Most Profitable Software Companies of 1985. Microsoft was ranked number ONE in the Top Ten Most Profitable Companies of 2005. What you DON'T realize; What is NOT stated in plain English; what is BLIND to your single-mindedness is that the other NINE companies on that list in 1985 ARE NO LONGER LISTED IN THE TOP TEN MOST PROFITABLE COMPANIES OF 2005!! WHY?!? WHY are they NOT on that list? Did Microsoft "crush" them as you want to BLINDLY believe, or did those NINE other companies implode?

Also, out of curiosity, why does this please you? Why are you so excited about the fact the MS has no ads for their products? Does it make you feel better? There is a reason I waited 2 months to reply to your silly post, and that is because I KNEW what Microsoft's future plan and goals were, and I knew that Apple has no future plans. So, it's been two months since you've replied. Have you learned anything? Any idea why AAPL's stock has gone from a high of $85 on 1/12/06 to it's current price of $65 on 2/13/2006? Any idea why Apple keeps releasing 5000 different models of the iPod and no news of any other types of products in the last couple of months? Any idea why Apple has used "Microsoft" tactics in their pricing model when it announced recently that they are slashing the prices of their iPod Shuffle to suffocated their competition? Any idea why both Cingular and Verizon chose Microsoft's Windows CE OS for their new lines of phones, ESPECIALLY when their pushing the mp3 playing technology of cell phones instead of talking to Apple or an iPod compatible OS? And lastly, any idea why Apple made (remember... history repeats itself!) the BONEHEADED mistake of REFUSING Microsoft's better than usual offer to intergrate the iTunes.com site into the XBox 360 Live?

DO NOT embarass yourself by answering these questions OUTSIDE of how they were asked. Apple is so great in your mind, then let's see if you can defend APPLE and not another company!

Good Luck!

Do some research, explore the facts, make your decision, and THEN provide us with your intelligent comments. Otherwise you'll always be a Fool.
