Yes, that launch will certainly help, but not enough people buy game systems to seriously impact their stock results. Guys like me that buy every new game system are there, but it’s getting tiring buying systems with mostly sequels for titles. We all know sequels are cash cows for the developers and new, experimental games are a huge risk, but players don’t care about the financial side of gaming, they just want fun games. Nintendo gets this, Sony sometimes gets this. [...] […] I do think Microsoft is going to turn it around, but I’m starting to doubt if the Xbox 360 will be the start of it all.
