[citation][nom]f-14[/nom]"You go to your average 15-year-old boy, and he will say 'I'll take an Xbox,'" he said. "I want that average 15-year-old girl as excited about the Kinect, and we haven't done as good a job drawing in that broader set of demographics." the AVERAGE 15 yr old doesn't get $300 to burn, typically they have to work for it, an average 15 yr old girl isn't interested the slightest in video games or watching tv. the only reason they want a smart phone is so they can text, take, send, share pictures while talking to their bff's about justin beiber while spending $300 they made from babysitting at the mall on jeans and other clothes.[/citation]
Actually, I think the 15 year old boy would say "I'll take the 15 year old girl"...
But on a more serious note, Disk + Storage capacity is beginning to limit the 360's gaming features majorly let alone anything else.
Say you have your full set of games installed. Drive full.
Say you buy movies from the online services they are offering. Drive full + Slow/Failed downloads.
Say you want to buy a disk due to your full drives. NO BLU-RAY DRIVE.
Downloading games is basically, Game for $100 with nothing to hold in your hand, keep on your shelf, resell, etc, Vs Game for $100 with HARD COPY, Fancy case, Fancy book and Collectors/ Limited editions available for a bit more money... What would you chose?
And on top of that, With the state of internet connections around the world, More than half the time it is QUICKER to go out, Buy the PHYSICAL DISK and come home than it is to DOWNLOAD the game.
Digital purchases are only really beneficial to those with INCREDIBLY fast internet connections, And even then only if they are substantially cheaper than buying the Physical Disk.
