I still see the 360 as the most bland console this gen. Catering to all types of gamers should never be an all of the sudden fidgety action; it should be a part of the spinal cord of any console on release.
I'll admit that MS has tried (emphasis on tried) to change their image, but it can't be working very well since most the world have exactly the same perception of it as the original box. And many of these "different" games are... not very good.
Anyway, I'll never buy an X-box for a few reasons:
I don't trust MS products as a whole as far as quality and lifespan are concerned.
The X-box is father to none of the gaming franchises that I've loved or even liked in my many years of gaming.
To conclude:
MS still don't understand the console market as well as they should before attempting to conquer it. Before the release of the original box, MS was sure they'd destroy the PS2 because they had a much bigger and faster processor! All the worlds PC geeks thought the same (which goes to show why they're PC geeks and not console geeks...). And now with the 360, they think they can win by getting their hands on games from the genres that other platforms have already made their own and not neglected for years.
And, no matter how many games they get, or which games they might be; it is still an X-box...
