Social \ Is the 360 dead in Australia?

Kudos: 4,676

Mates: 54

According to this news article www.xbox360fanboy.com/
It looks like Australian retailers will not be supporting the Xbox 360.
One of the main reasons is the RROD problem which is the only reason I am not looking at getting one.

Does this mean the slow death of a MyMedia site?

Thats bad. No good at all, this can be bad especially for the my360.com.au. But still many people who are on that site will enjoy speaking about the 360. Who knoes what happens next well just have to wait and see ( oh know the waiting game i hate this game ).

I think this is just talk and nothing will actually happen, the 360 still sees strong software sales worldwide it's not going anywhere.

What are you doing replying, I thought you were banned!!.

This article may be baseless but I thought it would make a good discussion instead of "how many games do you have" and wanting to sell adds.

Banned? Isn't he an admin? o_O

Anyway. Yeah. It's going to be growing strong, despite the RROD. It ain't going anywhere in the forseeable future.

Yes there was an incident some of you may have been involved with as some admin accounts were hacked and some admin were temporarily out of action, although not too worry as we're backed better than ever now as shown by our introductions in the introduce yourself thread.

" Microsoft has since denied this rumor, commenting that Australian retailers “are excited about our current and upcoming offers, and we’re looking forward to another bumper year.”"

I'm hedging my bets that the 360 will lose the console war and sit in third place but it's not in a situation yet which would call for dropping retail support

The360 is very good value for money if you want a new console and don't like the wii and the PS3 is too expensive.

There are so many Xbox games under $50 retail and well supported.

The wii has its merits but I find the extra $150 for the 360 is good value.

I shall say I don't have a current generation console - I am not overly biased.

It does not have Blue-ray and HD-DVD is dead, the RROD is a worry so it has to get cheaper to be appealing.

My 360 is really all I play at them moment and that's for its online games which the other consoles currently can not match.

The 360's weakness is it was released WAY too early.

....i forgot what's so bad about that.

I highly doubt this. Every year since the release of the 360, there's been this exact same rumour that has popped up, without any actual backing.

Given how popular the 360 is in Australia, I highly doubt this will ever happen.

jons2ann says:

Powerful consoles such as the PS3 and XBox360 emphasise so much on realism that they forget that video games are supposed to be a fantasy construct that takes us away from reality.

The NDS is proof that you don't need detailed graphics to become a success.

Gameplay is everything. Everything else is just a bonus.

If the 360 doesn't get some new stella exclusive games out soon then sales may begin to decine, but I bet M$ will counteract with huge price cuts across the range.

Too much? How is $700 too much? When you get a 360 and a controller etc. It cost me $722, which is more.

Personally, I think the x-box 360 is better than a Playstation 3.

But the Playstation is more popular in Australia, so yes.

It technically is dead here.
