Xbox 360 is not dead, says Microsoft AU PR Manager Cidade |

According to a survey reported just a couple of days ago, the Xbox 360 is finding it hard to survive in Australia due to main competitors PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. One retailer even went on record and said that Microsoft's console is dead. However, all these statements were countered by Microsoft Australia PR Manager of the Entertainment & Devices Division Mariana Cidade.
The official explained that they are actually in a good shape for this year:
We are happy with where we are in the market right now. WeÂ’re significantly ahead of where we planned to be this financial year, and selling well both on the software and hardware side.
Focusing on the software side of things, Cidade added that this year is going to be big for Microsoft Australia. Aside from yet-to-be revealed big titles, the public relations manager provided this list of games:
- Gears of War 2
- Fable 2
- Too Human
- Halo Wars
- Banjo Kazooie
- Guitar Hero 4
- Rock Band
- Dance Dance Revolution

Also considering it has people tearing up Xbox LIVE on Halo 3 (I always see 400k on daily), COD4, GeOW, and other games, and that developers still haven't tapped the full power of the 360 yet, we'll be seeing more for it.
Though I expect the 360 to be around for at least 2 more years, Microsoft is going to have some serious competition from Sony. With the release of the Home Beta soon, and the in-game XMB and communication sometime this summer/fall, people may start comparing the two online services as they will become neck-to-neck. Games like Resistance, MotorStorm, plus Killzone 2, LittleBig Planet, and FFXIII will also ensure sales for the PS3, creating competition with Microsoft
Well, anyways, the 360 ain't dead yet.
