Microsoft Advertising for Xbox 360?
Do any of you think that Microsoft cares about the Xbox 360 at all? I'm asking this because, the last time I saw a commercial on T.V. that was advertising the Xbox 360 console itself was around Halo 3's release date. (The commercial with that stupid parachute guy)
However, I've seen Sony Playstation 3 commercials advertising the PS3 console with upcoming games and new games for the PS3 (Haze, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Unreal Tournament 3, Gran Turismo 5 Prolouge, HOME, etc...) for the PS3 since November last year.
Some people may say that Sony is desperate so they have commercials on T.V., but that's not the case because if a company really cares about a product, they advertise for it and put money into the console.
It's not like I care if Microsoft advertises for the 360 or not because I have a PS3. I just want other people's opinions on what they think.
I've also seen Nintendo advertising the Wii console and Wii games. But I haven't seen Microsoft advertising the Xbox 360 console itself with games for it since September/October.

Microsoft doesnt care about their products they just want to make more money than sony or any other company they are talking about halo 3 all the time
and Microsoft doesnt care of the quality of their creations like windows vista it is the worst windows and xbox360 has many problems like the red ring of death and it damages cd's and they dont care about players
but sony cares about players they made many games and told players how to deal with problems with their playstation like PS3 it had the dust going in the console problem they tought us how to deal with it and they care about their products and quality of their consoles
so sony is the better and PS3 is better than xbox360 im not saying this because i have a PS3 im just saying the truth

Just a little info for everyone in case they forgot the power cord is NOT matched by the type of system is is elite/pro/arcade. It is matched buy the CHIP in the system. Newer model systems need less power to run the system for this reason you can not plug an old cord into a new system because if you did you might fry the system. MS knows what type of system you sent in and they will send you back a system that will correctly fit your cords. You have no reason to worry. After all they only true difference between the "versions"(pro/elite/arcade) is what size HD is attached. The big difference comes in what is actually INSIDE the system. So in short you dont have to worry you will get what you need.

No, they don't. If you do your research, they only made the original Xbox to try and compete with Sony's PS2 because it was dominating the 2nd Gen consoles and wanted to stop Sony from making as much money. The only thing keeping the Xbox alive is Halo and Halo is dying.

Well... TBH, i've never seen a commercial exclusively advertising a system (as in not a game), but the system alone) ever... You dont really need to advertise a comsole in this age. VIdeo Games are a normal thing. It's up to the game decelopers to advertise their games.
& i actually dont watch T.V. that often... but when i do, i usually see a game commercial or two.

They dont really care at all. They make software! Thats why there console isnt very reliable, they're used to making software they only made a gaming console because, playstation made one, it got huge and popular so they wanted to make a gaming console to, to make some extra money!
