When you think about it rationally the 360 is working its way to be the best

Hear me out before you flame me. This is all hypothetical.

If your not a huge fan of any series and just wanted to play some good games then the 360 is on its way to being thebest. I mean the 360 provides you games from the PC and PS3. Then if you want some party games and mini games then the xbla is for you. The 360 really gives you the best of hardcore and casual. If you could only buy one system and you like PC gaming(WRPG,FPS,RTS), the JRPGs and action games that the PS3 provides, and the casual gaming the wii provides the 360 is on its way to bethe best. The 360 lacks platformers, but if Banjo becomes a huge success then more variety in that genre will come. It is not there yet, but 2008 will be a better year in terms of diversity for the 360 then its past two years combined. The 360 just gives you a choice in choosing what type of gamer you want to be.

I go from playing uno to Halo, from Kameo to Gears, from Dead rising to texas holdem, from Puzzle quest- Eternal Sonata, from Blue Dragon to Oblivion, from Comand and Conquer to small arms, from TMNT to Street of Rage 2, and just so much more. The 360 may not have the best games(yet, or maybe never)in each genre, but it does have good games in each genre, and that is all some people will ask of it. The 360 came along way compared to the xbox. If it wasn't for the RROD I would have said that this is probably the most complete console I ever owned.

And then the RROD happens and you're returned back to reality.Zhengi

The 360 has the games and the games fans that matter - nothing you can say will change this ! ;)

360 has great games 8)

Buy a PC instead... You'll get like 90% of the gamesand you won't have to pay for online service. As a bonus, you'll have a PC that you need anwyays. The 360 is probably the crappiest console ever concieved. All you're doing is letting Microsoft leverage PC gaming into a console and proliferating their DirectX tools into an industry they have no business being in. If the RRoD hasn't taught you your lesson, then you deserve to be tied down to your chair while watching someone install Windows ME onto your computer.Ninpo_Osa

The only thing the haters can say about the 360 is RROD which is getting fixed. 360 is the only console for all the major game tournaments including Madden games. The most AAA and AA for any of the consoles. Sales are great for hardware and even better for software. Eltroz

Agreed

Yep. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I had windows ME :( lmao. Sure I was 14, but still :(. 360 has great games. The ones I think are worth owning are Gears, Halo 3, Guitar Hero 2, Oblivion, DDR: Universe, and Fight Night Round 3. Half those games are available on other consoles. Meanwhile, Gears is going to PC and Halo 3 will eventually. I know that my Nintendo games will never leave the Wii, and the PS3 has some great games that I can't play anywhere else. Sure each console has lots of exclusive games, but most exclusives are garbage.playwithfire17

Are you saying that the RROD doesn't really matter? And you're calling me blind? Even the TC admits the RROD is a big problem.

Trust me, in a couple of months 360 will show its age. What games are coming out for it in 2008? Nothing but multiplats, and no one will want to play the same software over and over. 360 is in trouble after Mass Effect. Non-Seq

None of them are special if I don't know about them. 2008 has me excited and not for anything 360 is doing. 360 is looking like a flash in the pan. And it can't afford to be that way with the PS3, because a measly 11 million is nothing to catch up to, Wii proved that.

I agree, but you missed the point of what I was saying. If you just like certain types of games and didn't have an attachment to any franchise the 360 would be the best because it provides many games from all genres that are good to great. I not saying evrybody should just buy a 360 because some may just like platformers and that is where the wi dominates, but if somebody wanted pc gaming, PS3 gaming, and the casual wii gaming then the 360 offer all of that and a low price.too_much_eslim

If no one is hyping the games, thats only Xbox fans faults. They hype everything else. Otherwise that is a pretty weak list.

Hope you have better luck b/c it seems to me, around here, If you state the obvious strengths of this console ( especially if you are a avid Gamer ) being called a lemming, fanboy... will surely follow. :?

Cows are just bittered that the xbox 360 has outperformed the ps3 in every aspect of gaming. If you don't agree then you must be a bias and blind fanboy.

Cows always talk in future tense but why don't they just give credit to where it is due. The xbox 360 is doing marveless and it will continue to be

Jhung207

People speak in future tense because that is all that matters. 360 future is bleak. Halo is done, Bioware is with EA. There are not many spectacular games in 2008. PS3 on the other hand, has big titles, a lower price, and is constantly evolving.

too_much_eslim

you opinion will make the 360 the winner in your mind, but lets leave the winner to sales. honestly all the games you have mentioned i have no interest in. and what is diversity if 30 million people around the world will buy a console for one game, say GT5 or Mario Galaxy.

I honestly believe that 360 fanboys have become the worst on the site. They are the new cows, their console is on top (gamewise) so they randomly bash everything else. Everyone can admit that the 360 has a pretty solid game lineup right now. What lemmings need to admit is that our cool white box has big issues. The majority of good games on it are available elsewhere, and no console... *ever*... has had the issues with unreliability that the 360 has, not even the PS2 DRE.

Lemmings also need to admit that when PS3 and Wii get an exclusive, it's a *real* exclusive the majority of the time. When 360 gets an exclusive, it's usually a timed one, or "Microsoft" exclusive, which means any of us on the forum could play it because we all use pc's. Finally, cows should be allowed to look forward to what's coming, like FF13 and MGS4, because lemmings have had 3 (THREE) years to say "omg wait 'til Halo 3 comes out!" "Halo 3 will be the bee's knees!" "Halo 3 is the be-all and end-all of gaming"... etc.

If the 360 has so many great games, lemmings should shut up and play them and spend less time on here claiming godliness. Personally, I stay pretty entertained by my half-dozen 360 games, but I'm definitely glad to have the other 2 consoles also.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not Windows ME! I'll choose Windows Vista instead! D'oh! Seriously though X-Box 360 is a poorly made piece of hardware. I wonder how many are no longer functional already? Maybe around 3 millions? Microsoft lied when they said 12 million sold, they forgot to mention how many are already dead or returned....
