I love how people just come in here and say PS3 is better.

Well, it was ONE guy who did that and he was banned for that, you make it sound like that more people come here just to do that.

Topic: I never owned a Xbox 360 but I don't have to to know why it is such a great console (if microsoft had just not giving up on japan that is.)

Fine, one guy. 



Its the first and last xbox that I have ever owned so far. It also the first that got me into achievements which I later change it for trophies. Good console overall.



Congrats to the 360, though i never owned one myself. All of the RROD problems kept me away.

We owe them the very weak gen 8 consoles. They showed us and Sony that only cheap hardware sells. If they would've let Sony dominate with their $600 we'd have a PS4 with proper hardware in it.

If you wanted a PS4 with "proper" hardware this gen (whatever that means), then you'd be shelling out alot more than $399 for it, and because of that the PS4's dominant lead over the X1 would have went right out the door along with all the good will Sony worked to achieve towards the latter half of the 7th gen...

Why? If the PS3 dominated last gen with a high price, then it would've dominated this gen as well, not matter the price. Also "proper hardware" means dedicated GPU.

Not to go off topic, thank you 360 for confirming that cheap is sexy and subscriptions are awesome.


Get out of here with this garbage.

It´s actually really interesting to see how successes in one generation transcends into failures in the next.

Oh yes, it is. I mean just look at WiiU. Sure, the Wii was an exception but also Nintendo misread the market completely by offering a tablet as an input device.

I actually think the Wii was the first time since the NES and Gameboy that Nintendo made the correct assessement of the market, but then came the WiiU. We have similar stories with Sega and their complete collapse, Atari and the market crash and so on.

The console was released in North America 10 years ago, so it is celebrating it's birthday.

You can use this moment to reflect upon the things we owe to the Xbox360. What do you think we owe to Micro's second console?


Pay for online :(

Well the first time paying for online play was a viable service was OG Xbox probably thanks to Halo 2. It was just so successful on 360 so Sony followed suit.

Anyhow, all the "free" games and discounts are worth the cost to avid gamers.

No, Sony could have put a cutting edge GPU in PS4 and sold it at a huge loss. PS3 was sold at a massive loss.

The problem with PS3 is the console was really expensive but the games looked about the same as 360 games. It had Bluray and a mega powerful CPU... yet the same graphics as 360. They should have invested more in GPU and less in CPU.

The Turok reboot was the first game I got when I first got a 360, it really is one of the best consoles of all time :)



Proud to be a Californian.

I am late but CONGRATS to the 360! The first console I owned last gen and had some awesome memories with! Especially when Gears 1 dropped! Took up a good amount on my online gaming life back then lol.
