Xbox 360 dominates in SA

Would be interesting to see the game attachment rate for SA. The 360 leads globally in that department, with the Wii dead last from what I remember.

Do you think this has to do with the state of "broadband" in South Africa, or can it be put down to insufficient numbers of XBox 360 owners in South Africa for it to be worthwhile for Micosoft to set up a local server or two?

I think its a bit of both really, I stand to be corrected but the broadband penetration is extremely low, is it not 5% or something?

Also 102,000 is too low for it to be profitable, although I wish that they would see past this and just give it to us.

As for attach rates,
Not the same for SA, according to a Take2 rep 360 software sales are suffering in SA.

But yet the PS2 is way way in the lead?

We need LIVE support!

The PS2 still has a strong following of younger generation players and those who want a Sony console... Unfortunately it proving hard for sony to kill that range... I think when they stop making games for PS2 it will die out.

As for your live support, drop MS a mail, you never know maybe they just unaware, or think we really behind.

Something that makes the 360 more appealing also is Piracy.

Sadly, I think that piracy is a big factor. Just look at sites like Bid or Buy, and you can see why the XBox 360 sells well, but the games don't.

sales would increase even more if we had some xbox live support

It is very much due to piracy. The xbox piracy scene is rife in SA.
