Unless it is very well referenced, there is little chance that you exit on the first page. -You develop a game lover, so with few resources. A marketing campaign is virtually impossible. By incorporating the previous point, how to make a place where we see the marketing budget of commercial games: several thousand to tens of millions of dollars in advertising. Can you compete with that power? -For now, the end user must buy a subscription of $ 99/an, the "Premium Membership" in order to play your games on the console. You know many who paid? This article is not written to demonstrate that the XNA system is inefficient, but to show that there is room for improvement so that the audience is more important. Two solutions: making the possibility of playing amateur free games on the console (without having to pay the premium subscription) and create a PR agency dedicated solely to promoting the games!

The year started well for all that technology, because the ESC takes place at this time in Las Vegas!
The first thing we can learn about IPTV. This system can receive television programs directly on the console. The first officially announced partner is British Telecom. The first customers to receive hundreds of thousands of hours of programming from the channel. However, no price was mentioned. On video on demand, everything is fine because Microsoft has new partners, which are MGM, ABC and Disney. So the new content perspective, which enrich an offer already diversified in the U.S., but would need to grow in Europe! On Xbox Live, Robbie Bach announced that the service now had 10 million users! This very high figure which could explain the problems encountered recently. Moreover, users Gold (those who pay a subscription) will receive free arcade game as a token of compensation. Finally, we can not pass on the fact that Warner Bros. finally abandons the HD DVD format in favor of Blu Ray. Blow to HD DVD because the consortium has the support of canceling its conference at CES. But this will finally tie the winner of this war, and democratize high definition.

The new prices will 349E for the Premium model (with a wireless controller and a hard disk with a capacity of 20gb) and 279E model for the Core (with a joystick wired). This Friday is the day of the release of the Xbox 360 Elite (wireless, 120GB hard drive, HDMI, black hull), for a price of 449E.
