Out of the 25 careers, a writer and the editor interest me the most, i love reading and writing poems and stories and so when am working as a writer or an editor, i will not find it real hard and moreover, they pay a descent amount of salary.

Even though we are in a recession and people are spending less, Microsoft sold 28 million units of Xbox 360 and received 17 million in sales. Why do you think that people are still purchasing video games even though their income may be less. And why do you think that Xbox is more successful than PS3?



Most people find ways and means to satisfy their wants no matter how much they got in their pocket. i think most people purchase Xbox because they find it more fun and interesting than the PS3 also during Christmas, people purchased it as a gift for families and friends.
