   New Xbox 360 Sales Tactic

Inside a statement that shocked gamers and non-gamers alike, Peter Moore of Microsoft Xbox, endorsed Nintendo's new Wii console. Speculations circulated whether or not this statement by Moore was a genuine praise or perhaps a calculated move developed to offset the launch of Sony PlayStation 3. Moore even referred to himself as a big fan from the Nintendo console. He recommended that for the cost of a PS3, gamers will be able to have a brand new Xbox 360 plus a Nintendo Wii, with some leftover to get a couple of games. It might be recalled that Sony pegged the cost of their new PlayStation at $499-$599, a price tag the firm claimed to become fit for any Blu-ray console.

This move by Microsoft seemed to become yet another tactic to push the Xbox 360 sales larger using the imminent release with the PS3 at its heels. Peter Moore was downplaying the viability from the PS3 by pointing out the only disadvantage with the new Sony console: its price tag. But Moore's reason was not only customer concern. Moore's statement also implied that Microsoft do not see Nintendo as direct threat and competitor. Maybe he thought that getting Nintendo's help would obviously buoy Microsoft's sales. Moore was correct to complete so within this case, given that ugly numbers had been cropping up in sales evaluations in the Microsoft consoles.

The marketing and advertising and study firm, NPD Group supplied numbers and reports that indicated that the prized console of Microsoft lagged behind Air Max the PS2 in terms of hardware sales. Launched half a decade ago, Sony's PlayStation 2 nonetheless lets its presence be felt in the game console market. The five-year old Sony console even managed to exceed the sales of the then-brand new Xbox 360 specially inside the month of May possibly. The next-gen console sold only 221,000 units; 11,000 units less than the PS2 sales. Even though Microsoft retaliated rapidly by revamping shipment processes and adding a third producer for its console, it wasn't enough to draw considerable margin amongst their sales and that of PS2.

But even when the move did not suffice, it somewhat improved Xbox 360 console sales. Succeeding sales testimonials showed that the sales from the console picked up; the influx of consoles making certain amply supply and brisk sales. However the PS3 was touted to become a larger threat. It didn't assist either that Sony's processing systems have improved considering that the release from the PS2. Clearly, it became crucial for Microsoft to beef up its marketing and advertising operation to make sure their new console's best position inside the next-gen hierarchy.

In conclusion, Microsoft's marketing and advertising program integrated Peter Moore banking on Sony's overly-inflated ego that anticipated gaming fans to shell out massive bucks for the PS3. Moore targeted the rival Air Max console's cost when he created that statement about Xbox 360 along with the Wii console. He also hoped to draw in Nintendo fans more than towards the Microsoft side by actively endorsing the Wii. If Nintendo approves Moore's tactic, the next-gen console battle will likely be a two versus 1 fight. Yet another tell-tale sign of Microsoft and Moore's pricing attack at Sony's new console was the reported price slash for Xbox 360 consoles through the holidays. The price tag slash was obviously planned to coincide with Sony's PS3 launch. Even so, the affirmation if Peter Moore's tactic worked nevertheless rests on gamers' shoulders.
