What a pointless news item.
"Asked by GamePro if Media Molecules' debut will "rack up big sales over time," Sony senior marketing manager John Kohler replied, "Yes, absolutely."
What else do you expect him to say?
"new shipments of 360 hardware will come with an updated motherboard said to be far less susceptible to RRoD than previous iterations"
Hmm. So not actually eliminating the problem then.
"UK National Insurance will increase for all and income taxes will grow significantly for those earning over £40,000."
Please provide the source for this information. The PBR mentions that NI contributions will only affect those earning more than £20k a year.
Also, I'm not sure where you got the income tax figure from i.e. those earning over £40k. I understood that a new 45% higher income tax rate is being introduced for those earning more than £150k from April 2011.
A very interesting read. One thing I do find a bit odd is that the Xbox isn't wireless out of the box, unlike the other consoles (even the DS!). With all the marketing that highlights the online functionality of the Xbox, I feel this issue has been somewhat ignored in the above report.
Whilst this won't be a problem for those who have a router near their television/console (or perhaps they are able to run a cable from their console to their router), having to spend another £50 for this functionality is a crucial drawback.
Perhaps it won't have any impact. I just feel that without this functionality Microsoft are restricting the potential that their console will have in this area.
Network now...
