both the n64 and the gamecube and the first xbox had it worse
actually it have a chance of outselling snes. getting close nes.

what i dont want though its microsoft getting second, they would charge for online and don't make a high quality hardware.

 

I don't love the idea of paying for online play, but its not that big of a deal.
Lifelock cost me $10 a month.
My phone is $50 a month.
Sirius Radio is $15 a month.
Now my Xbox Live account was $40 for the year and that comes out to $3.33 a month. It's one of my cheapest expenses and it also gives a me a ton of entertainment. Free is great but if I can pay a few bucks for a better service I will gladly do that.

As far as quality hardware goes. The original 360 used the Xenon motherboard which had the RRoD issue. The Falcon motherboard had the E74 problem. Now they use the Jasper board. I haven't heard any problems with that board yet and hopefully it will stay that way.

i dont consider it a better service or at least to pay 50$ a  year.

for ingame voice chat (since we have a voice chat in the full XMB) and a party system.

and there is not proof jasper it's as reliable as the wii/ps3/Ds/PSP (currect generation consoles) reliable either, it produce less heat. RRod and E74 can still happen.

 

This is in the Sony forum and the topic isn't in about the 360 so why are you deliberately posting flame bait?

For the record the original xbox was a fantastic piece of hardware that was both more powerful and more reliable than the PS2.  In other words your statement regarding them being incapable of making good hardware is wrong anyway, yet you'll no doubt ignore this point and continue on your agenda.  If you don't agree with a paid for online service thats fine, I'm sure Sony will always offer you an alternative for free .

On the actual topic it's not like third or second this time round is the same as previous generations.  All 3 current consoles have a sufficient enough userbase and good enough software sales to secure third party support for the rest of this generation.  If the PS3 were to finish in last and provided Sony have made whatever they need to off the console to launch a successor, then it will be fine for gamers.  I want choice when it comes to gaming as each of the current consoles offers me something a little different.
