Welcome to part two of our three-part series (Here are six of Sony’s advantages, in case you missed them).  This time we’ll talk about seven things that give the Xbox 360 an advantage over the PlayStation 3 and the Wii.

1. Build a Feature-Perfect, Unified Online System

Better, but still sorta crappy. The online PC community would choke on what MS does and have. With MS trying to make a PC like online. It's time to stop being half arsed. Still at least their trying and have a feature or two that are nice. Like intergame networking.

2. Interact With the Community

Putting a human face on your lifeless monotonizing corp is always a good idea. Even if little comes from it.

 

3. Aggressively Price Cut

Nice bonus, but iPod, TVs, and everthing overall proves that ittertation seems to work. Go figure.

4. Implement Netflix

I love the idea having streaming video. It's not needed and the other two are also running with the idea. BBC running with the idea for the Wii before MS.

5. Make Regular, Relevant, and Expansive Software Updates

"Nintendo’s software updates have been neither regular, relevant, or expansive so it again loses in this category."
QFT.

6. Snatch up exclusives (or Take Them from the Competition)

This is a good way to detroy small studios. It forces them to expand and after the game is complete they may not be able to commit to further high budget titles. Maker of Haze, Ensemble studios..... while it seems like a good idea. Companies going under only robs us as gamers future good games.

7. Release Your Console First

I agree, but even being first doesn't garuntee victory. It does give an edge though.
