outstanding?

problems of the xbox
• playstation ii was out first.
• people do not know what
the XBox can do.
They know the technical features but not all understand how they improve the gaming experience.
• Games
XBox did not have enough good games in the first year. SOLVED.
• controller
The original controller was too big and unergonomic. SOLVED.

insight
it is not important
how good a system is
in numbers and specs
but what it can do

promotional idea
bundle xbox with free halo
and a 2-month-trial of
xbox live
• Bundle all the strengths of XBox
“Halo is an awesome game, but paying $ 300 [for the console and the game] to own only one game is just too much.”
• Promote upcoming Halo 2
“Halo 2 is like a license to print money.”
