I don' think so. I think the all-in-one multimedia center design of the 360 will be a selling point for the 360. There are still going to be lots of people out there who aren't interested in an all-in-one media center, and won't be interested in spending $300+ on a game console.
There will be others who will still by the PS3 because they don't mind spending the extra dough, and aren't interested in the all-in-one media center either.
In all, this is good for the 360, but won't be the sticking point for most consumers when choosing a next-gen console.

I disagree. I can tell you right now that if I knew that purchasing an Xbox 360 would 1) enable me to get IPTV, and 2) allow me to actually own my cable box I would go buy one right now. I would be willing to bet that many other people will feel the same way.

availability. It's sold out everywhere.
This must be the thread for me being misunderstood.
That's what I was saying. It probably couldn't outsell the 360 as there weren't enough sets available to purchase to outsell it.
I think it's because there weren't enough Wii's produced to meet demand. :D

Actually, if you go by total numbers since the Wiis release, the 360 out sold it through the end of 2006 by over 200,000 units.
I am curious if this is more of a limitation of availability of Wiis, or interest from the public.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17622198 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:25:28 EDT Re: Holy shit..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17622129 TBC1 : Actually, if you go by total numbers since the Wiis release, the 360 out sold it through the end of 2006 by over 200,000 units.

The Wii is simply a fad right now, and will go the way the N64 did when people get burned out on the wand remote and the typical Nintendo fare of games. They would have made a much bigger splash, had they built a console that could support at least 720p graphics, and made games for that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17622129 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:14:12 EDT Re: Holy shit..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17621964 Maxo : Was that intended to be replied to me?

The thing is track to out sale the 360 in no time flat. The sales numbers have been insane. by using the 360 as iptv set top box is in no way going to stop the Wii. Take a moment to look at the numbers that nintendo is selling and then you will realize that the only console hurting right now is the ps3 due to lack of software.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17621950 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 12:43:58 EDT Re: Holy shit..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17621598 TechieZero :

What you fail to see here is that the IPTV operator will be offering DIRECTLY the XBOX box. That is almost free marketing for the 360 in that market. Also, they could (they wont more likely) lease it as they do with the STB, that will be a better option as you can upgrade every other year instead of buying a new xbox.

I use the 360 with my media center pc and I loved all the options it gives me, and since my pc is the dvr right know i have a 400gb hard drive for that. Anyhow, a 360 stand alone media center will be great. And as I said, since the iptv provider will be offering it directly, it will sell(or lease) even more.
MS wanted to do this kind of thing YEARS ago. But when they approached other companies like Disney for example --- Disney took the attitude of "How much are *YOU* going to pay *US* for the *PRIVILEGE* of showing our content on your system?"

Competition is always good.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17621598 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:38:24 EDT Re: Holy shit..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17621576 Maxo : I agree it's both a great media center and a great game console.
