The Surefire Way for Microsoft to Sell More Consoles (It's Simple)

[TV]

They just need to make new Xbox One's that are backwards compatible. There would be no need to keep a 360 unless for novelty sakes. Announce it at E3 and release the new consoles towards the end of the year.

360s are still selling like crazy. When you get on The Coli and read these retards console war threads every day you tend to forget that MS and Sony have like a 10 year plan for these consoles. Just because you see one console beating out the other in sales doesn't mean that the one that's behind desperately needs to sell units. I think I read somewhere recently that MS game division made like $18 billion last year. Most of the nikkas on here cant even think deep enough to realize that every move these companies make are for longterm success...not what you can physically see right

Well that reinforces my point even more. I'm assuming most of the people who are buying new 360s never owned one or either cannot afford or want an Xbox One. I'm not suggesting them to stop selling 360s altogether, but give people an option that want the benefits of both consoles to enjoy the experience. They will sell more next gen consoles this way.

Or maybe Microsoft can bundle xbones with happy meals

breh they giving you 225 bucks toward an xbox one right now if you trade in your 360.

If that don't get someone to go for an xbox one then I dunno what will.

You're looking at it from a "what makes sense" perspective. You're not looking at it as a business perspective.

Well they haven't actually ruled out backwards compatibility but it may not be in the same form that I suggested.

They did that in Japan already...or was it the other way around...I can't remember.

They already working on emulation via the cloud for that. But it doesn't make sense for them to do it TODAY
They also could just make an external HDD/drive that plays X360 games. But at the end of the day?
The cloud will handle all that type of shyt. The question will then be is it worth it?
Will gamers care to play old games like that? Probably not. If the new games are worth anything? Then that is what the masses will play

OF course there are those gamers who like old games and think they are important, they not

What you want and what they need to do is completely different. The Xbox One has had a slow start largely due to the simple fact that it released at $100 more than the direct competition while trying to force people to pay for a peripheral that was not received well with their previous generation. They let Sony get several months of a head start before finally coming to their senses and offering it at the same price at the PS4 without the Kinect. What they need today is to continue releasing strong exclusives. Making it backwards compatible isn't going to create a sudden surge of sales. People have been trading in their last gen consoles left and right to make the jump to new gen.
