What If There Was No Xbox Or Playstation
Imagine our world without or favourite game consoles? What if they were never released? What would
we be doing for fun? When I think of my world without my Xbox 360 or PS3 I imagine a cold world
without colour or hope. That's how much I love gaming. Ha Ha. What would I do to pass time? sit on the
couch? watch Lost or The simpsons? good for the first few episodes then things just get weird!
On a serious note, If there were no game consoles ever made what would we be doing to pass spare
time? Would there be Social Networking if it wasn't for Xbox Live or PlayStation Network? I dont think
so, well it wouldn't be anywhere near as popular as it is today without it. Would computers be as
powerful as they are today without Xbox Live bringing in so much profit from consumers? I don't think
so.
Xbox Live is worth over an estimated $1 Billion Dollars. ONE BILLION DOLLARS. In 2000, who ever
thought that a game console could be this powerful and important to todays economy? No one, that's
who.
Not even the developers and creators of Xbox Live knew how successful it was going to be. Back in the
Halo days, Xbox Live was just great online fun. Bringing in thousands of online players. As the years
progressed Xbox Live grew and grew not just as a place to play games with your friends, it grew into a
social network giant. Being able to chat to numerous friends in party chat, to watching your favourite
movies or sports on Sky Player to updating your Facebook status and Tweeting on Twitter! Xbox Live has
blown everyone away, It can only get bigger and better. Who knows what it can achieve, no one, that's
who. Heard that saying before? ;)
