I read that MS had just announced that EVERY 360 can fail at ANY point.I told one of my friends about the Red Ring of Death but he dissmissed it as a rumour and got a 360 anyway.I can't believe that after 33% failure rate MS half addressing the issue and having alot of opportunities still they havent told the whole public of everywhere that they can fail.They could tell them over the news,newspapers,internet or anyway but they are trying to save face infront of the gaming comunity and soon it will kick them down and pin them until they either 1.Revamp the hard ware and RECALL the "10million" sold and fix them all or 2.Leave it and not see it has a real problem and let Sony slowly eat away at their market share and let Nintendo completly kick them out of the console war.
Until they fix this issue sales won't go as high as they want them to i.e when Halo3 is released sales will go up but if they didnt have faulty units they would go up alot higher passing even the Wii.
the 360 has RPG's but not good ones that will start series(maybe Fable) and they are all western RPG's no Japanese RPG's well a few but not enough to get the Japanese to buy the Halobox.If the 360 got a game like FF or Zelda then maybe it will come 1st but without addressing the fans of those(me being one of them) they won't win because thats like every Japanese person and anyone who has ever played FF or Zelda.

Not every 360 will fail. The majority of people are still using their launch units nearly 2 years after they bought them and they work fine. There is a problem; MS addressed it with a 3 year warranty. You can't ask much more than that out of a company short of a complete recall and that will never happen.

And your comment about 360 RPGs are idiotic at best. Let's see... Sakaguchi isn't a prominent figure in JRPGs... Nope, not at all. Bioware isn't the best western console RPG maker around... Nope, not at all. Bethesda, last year, didn't spearhead their latest RPG on the 360... Nope, not at all.

Seriously, if you're a console gamer and love RPGs, there's no place better than the 360 right now. And given Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey in the next 4 months, it's only going to get better. I don't see any of the other consoles surpassing the 360 in RPGs until late 2009 at the earliest and even then the 360 will have a new batch arriving.
