RROD...
Not that this issue hasn't been fixed but even knowing that the Jasper and the latest Xbox360s are now reliable as hell, there's still this little voice at the back of my head saying "better be careful, you might get rrod like your first 2 x360s.."

1. Growth (nobody gave the 360 a chance this gen after the origional xbox's sales last gen)
2. Rockstar games sales on 360>>>> PS3 (GTA, RDR and so on)
3. XBLA (more games than any of its competitors, and games like Shadow Complex, Dead Rising 2: Case 0/West, Guardian Heroes, Perfect Dark ect are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the sheer amount of quality games available in the arcade section)
4. 360 controller (fits perfectly in my hand, i'm not a teen no more, the PS3's pad is just simply too girly and small, D-pad aside for me its the second best controller ever made behind the Sega Saturn controller)
5. Halo (unquestionably the best exclusive FPS on consoles, no FPS on PS3 touches Halo)
6. Forza (Forza 3 really.............. best exclusive racer this gen, rapes GT5 sideways)
7. Gears of War (made cover based games what they are today, Gears 1 & 2 had co-op, and then EPIC go one better with the finale and offer 4 player online co-op for Gears 3)

Theres tonnes of other "individual" reasons for me, little things like Streets of Rage 2 with online co op, Game Room (nostalgia for your 30 somthing gamer), Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4 (both better than GT5 aswell by the way) Double Dragon............ theres like 30 games exclusive to XBLA alone that are the reason i prefer it to PSN and Virtual console.

Well, thats enough for now............... theres plenty more, but hey, i just thought i would give lots of pro reasons why i like my 360, its a shame that this thread got infested by PS3 fanboys who's only pathetic contribution was to say things like "RROD", FPS only console and , grow up fools.

RROD, FPS only console and PEW PEW PEW PEW PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW!

[..]

the other thread was not formed out of retaliation...

it wasn't even formed to bash sony, when forming topics in general its entirely up to the people who visit the threads to respond in whatever way they choose...

the ironic thing is that all i've ever heard on coming to this site is how bad sony fans are in comparison to the others and yet i see evidence everyday that thats bullshit

You think that because you are a very big Sony fan so of course you are going to see things differently

What is wrong with this thread BTW?

Well other than being formed out of retaliation to the previous thread by a butthurt OP it seems, when it got to the fact that he didn't even bother labelling it as "Microsoft" but went straight for the Xbox, nothing.

Halo, RROD, Live, Parties.

In terms of Microsoft? Bill gates for some reason, then followed by Windows XP/7.

butthurt? Why would I be butthurt?

I explained why I said "Xbox" instead of MS in the OP. This happens to be a console gaming section of a forum that is geared toward MS consoles.

I don't see nearly the hate here as the Sony thread.

You're right, other than about 4-5 troll accounts with <20 posts created for most likely the sole purpose of this thread.

While I don't disagree with you that there are plenty of troll accounts in this thread and mostly from members in this forum (a common occurrence), I think it's hard to point out that they were created for the sole purpose of this thread, being that the most recent one is from 17 october, 7 days before this thread was posted and 4 days before the "twin" Sony thread was created.

OT - JRPG console of excellence this generation. Panzer Dragoon for last one.

Ah I expresssd myself wrong there, I meant for the sole purpose for this type of threads, type was the keyword in there. The type of users who do drive bys on provocative threads with troll responses in order to get a reaction.

Yes, I totally agree with you in this. It's deplorable really.

I really do think all those things. Halo is also the most over hyped game in recent history. The campain bored me to tears. Loved LAN party's with the first but after that they kept screwing it up.

Western games

Party chat

RROD

My hatred for Microsoft

My friends taunting me about "how terrible Xbox is"

That's it. I think of Western games because that's what I bought my Xbox 360 for. I think of party chat because that's one of the things I enjoy doing most on my 360. I think of RROD because of how bad it has impacted the console's reputation and how widespread the problem was. I think of my hatred for Microsoft because I also associate Xbox with other Microsoft products and the company as a whole. Lastly, I think about my friends taunting me about "how terrible Xbox is" because every time I mention Xbox in a conversation with them they tend to take the piss out of it, especially if I bought a multiplatform game on Xbox. The worst is when a game commercial comes on and when the Xbox logo comes up they can't resist but make some kind of negative comment.
