Hoʻohui ʻo Xbox360 me PS3
ʻO ka Xbox360 (ʻōlelo ʻia ma ke ʻano he ‘three-kanaono’) ʻo kā Microsoft pani hou ʻana i kāna console wikiō wikiō mua. Ua hoʻokuʻu maʻamau ʻia ka pāʻani wikiō ma ka MTV Channel i ka makahiki i hala, Mei 12, 2005, e pololei. ʻO kahi hoʻouka kikoʻī kikoʻī, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka ʻike koʻikoʻi o ka Xbox, i hana ʻia ma hope ma ka mahina like ma ka Electronic Entertainment Expo kaulana.
Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu wale ʻia ka pāʻani wikiō ma kahi o ʻeono mau mahina ma hope, ma Nowemapa 22, ma North America a me Puerto Rico. ʻO nā hoʻouka ʻē aʻe i hoʻopili ʻia i hana ʻia ma ʻEulopa i ka lā 2 o Kēkēmapa i hala aku nei a ma Iapana i ka lā hope o Kēkēmapa 10. Me ka hoʻoiho like like ʻana ma nā ʻāpana nui ʻekolu o ka honua, ua lilo ka Xbox360 i mea mua o nā consoles pāʻani wikiō e hoʻokō i kēlā ʻano hana. ʻO ia nō hoʻi ka mea komo mua i ka hanauna hou o nā ʻoluʻolu pāʻani e manaʻo ʻia e hāʻawi i ka hoʻokūkū paʻakikī i ka PlayStation o sony a me Nintendo ʻo Wii.
ʻElua mau hoʻonohonoho ʻokoʻa o ka Xbox360 i ka hapanui o nā ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi, ka Premium Package, i kūʻai ʻia ma USD $ 299, a me ka Core System, me kahi waiwai kūʻai o USD $ 399. ʻAʻole loaʻa ka hope i Iapana. Eia nō naʻe, ke hāʻawi nei ʻo Microsoft i kahi pūʻulu like i kūʻai ʻia ma Y37,900. Ua huki maoli ke kumukūʻai i kekahi mau manaʻo hoʻopiʻi maikaʻi ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi mai nā mea kūʻai aku Iapana, ʻoiai ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua hiki iā lākou ke kūʻai i ka pūʻulu liʻiliʻi o ka pāʻani ma kahi kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa loa i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. Eia naʻe, ʻo kēia ka maʻa mau i ka helu ʻia no Iapana.
I kona wā hoʻomohala, ua kapa pinepine ʻia ka Xbox ma ke ʻano he Xenon, Xbox2, XboxNext, a i ʻole ʻo Nextbox. I kēia manawa ua manaʻo ʻia he ʻehiku hanauna hōʻoluʻolu, i hoʻomohala mua ʻia ma waena o Microsoft e kahi hui liʻiliʻi i alakaʻi ʻia e Seamus Blackley, kahi mea hoʻomohala pāʻani a me kahi physicist ikaika nui. Ua puka mua nā nūhou o ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka pāʻani wikiō i ka wā hope o 1999 i ka wā a ka luna nui o Microsoft ʻo Bill Gates i ʻōlelo ai i loko o kahi nīnauele he mea nui ka mea pāʻani / multimedia i mea nui no ka hoʻololi multimedia i nā manawa hou o ka hoʻokipa uila. A laila, i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka manaʻo nui o ka pāʻani wikiō ma kahi hoʻokuʻu nūhou.
Manaʻo nā kānaka kālailai ʻo ka xbox 360 ke ala a Microsoft e hoʻopukapuka ai i ka mākeke pāʻani wikiō e ulu nei, keu hoʻi me ka mākeke PC e ulu nei ma hope o ka http://dot.com bust. Hāʻawi ka ʻoihana pāʻani wikiō iā Microsoft i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻokaʻawale i kāna laina huahana, a hiki i nā 1990s, ua kau nui ʻia i ka hana lako polokalamu.
Ma waho o kēia, ua pili ka manaʻo Xbox360 no ka mea e like me kā Heather Chaplin lāua ʻo Aaron Ruby, nā mea kākau o ka puke Smartbomb, ka holomua kupaianaha o nā pāʻani pāʻani ʻo PlayStation o Sony ma 1990 i hoʻouna aku i kahi leka hopohopo iā Microsoft. ʻO ka holomua o ka ʻoihana pāʻani wikiō, kahi i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Sony he paionia, hoʻoweliweli i ka mākeke PC, kahi ʻoihana i lōʻihi e Microsoft a ma luna o ka hapa nui o nā loaʻa kālā o ka hui i hilinaʻi nui ʻia. ʻO kahi huakaʻi i loko o ka pāʻani pāʻani wikiō, ma o ka Xbox, ʻo ia ka mea kūpono hope aʻe no Microsoft, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Chaplin lāua ʻo Ruby.
