I agree with numonex.

Look at your fellow Sony PS3 friends to see who brought Sony into this thread. The moment this thread was created the trolls flooded in. Hell I was in a Halo Reach thread just now and for some reason someone decided to bring GT5 into the thread. Why even come into a thread for a system you don't own just to bash it? Instead of trolling the response look to see what caused it. The thread is about success not failure rate. 

^This!

Sorry buddy, God Of War is not on the 360 nor is it comming to the 360, so that should not be on your list. lol I don't think the 360 is very successful at this time.

GoW = Gears of War

Please take your pathetic trolling and retreading of old arguments out of the Microsoft forums.  You've consistantly shown no interest in the 360 and continually hate on it at every opportunity, how any mod cannot ban/warn you given your past posting history of constant hating is unbelieveable.

He's gotta have naked pictures of somebody. That's the only way it could be possible.

at this point, I'd say all consoles are successful, especially the Wii.

One year headstart for starters.

Price point. PS3 for $500-$600.00? To play Fifa? Taking the piss!

Good advertising by MS and crap advertising by Sony (though it's improved now).

Xbox Live- So much better than PSN for a long while though PSN is now starting to put up a good fight.

Some very popular franchises such as Halo and Gears have helped capture the HUGE adolescent teenage market that love video gaming and love blood and guts and running and gunning and being a super cool one man soldier that can take on a planet of enemies (with a buddy too! (co-op)).

It was just the better console for the first few years though now it's debatable.

I guess I'll do a "top ten reasons why Gamecube was very successful"

Not in any order...

1. It was the first "Next Gen" console out of the gate... so those who wanted to jump to the next generation could just "Jump In" (Yes, I am clever!)

2. During 2006, the 360 proved its muscle by having both Oblivion and Gears of War release to the public. These were the games that made people say "wow" when they saw them.

3. You got to finish the fight with Halo 3... which had the largest (at that time) release for a video game. Plus, Game Fuel was pretty tasty...

4. Xbox Live was expanded upon from its infancy during the Xbox days, and now it is considered by many to be the console online experience.

5. It's always been at a consumer friendly price, especially compared to the PS3.

6. While the 360 is still known as a console that's defined by its popular shooters like Gears and Halo, the system has expanded to include must have games from all genres.

7. Even though the console still struggles in Japan, it continues to fight and has provided gamers with some great Japanese developed games.

8. Xbox Live Arcade has brought a lot of neat ideas and innovation, in fact... for a while Geometry Wars was the game to play!

9. A continuation on Xbox's philosophy of "core" gaming has made a lot of gamers happy and content with a constant stream of great games to play.

10. RareWare!
