The curse of RROD lingers in the back of consumers minds it has halved over time from 33% down to 16%. The widespread problem has been reduced but it has an adverse effect on X360 HW sales due to internet and word of mouth.

I wonder if MS will be in console generation next time round? I would say it is 50-50. If only MS get a reliable company to make consoles for them and MS just focuses on software. pluss i think microsft should get rid of the xbox/microsoft brand because next gen people are not going to buy the new console because the curse of the 360 will be having a party in the back of the consumers minds.

Stop with this nonsense. The original Xbox had less failure rates than the PS2. Microsoft knows how to make hardware, they just didn't need to rush it out the door like they did to beat Sony to the punch. Get it through your head. The Xbox had quality hardware and it and still sucked because it lacked games, unlike the PS2 which had a army of amazing games and inferior hardware. The roles have been reversed this gen.

 

 

the xbox brand for games has progressed and in sales it has progressed, but in quality it has gone backwards, and nobody can say anythingelse about it. to do so would ever make then a blind fanboy, or seriously delutional take your pick.

the first xbox was very reliable very hardy and didnt scratch your disk and get rrod. the new xbox does. so if that is not going backwards i dont know what is and after this fumble with the 360 i would only trust the new console if a diff company came in and did the hardware for them.

 

The Xbox brand has progressed as far as their gameplan and knowledge of how market works the  is concerned. The hardware took a nose dive this gen. They gained a larger library and far more developer respect than they had last gen. They have far more games and they will surpass the sales of the orignal Xbox.

The new Xbox was rushed. The 720 will most likely be worked on ten times harder to be able to go up against the PS4. The Xbox 360 isn't going backwards. The 360 was only a console, but the respect for the brand has sky rocketted. The rate of purchases for a 360 is far more impressive in its time than the normal xbox. Within the next two years the 360 will have 2 times more of the sales of last gen. That is what you call moving forward.
