They bring out un-intovative technology, focus heavely on only the I am cool crowd of only America, and they never make money due to the fact that they are trying to stop Sony and Nintendo from making their consoles the next windows PC. I do enjoy some of their games Halo, PGR, Fable, GeoW, and well thats about it. So unless Microsoft make somthing along the lines of Eyetoy, or the Wii Mote, and start making their products have lasting power, you won't see a xbox brand system under my tv. At the moment I am happy with my PS3 and virtual console. The PS3 has Blu Ray which will be a major factor once we are late in this gen like 2010-14 ( the equivilant of 2004-2007 of last gen), 100Gb ethernet port to support internet 2, and the cell which will allow games to evolve over time. The Wii has virtual console and Mario/Metroid/Zelda/smash bros/pokemon and mario counts for like 7. |
microsoft was a pioneer in online console gaming with the original X- box... an din one console they found "thier game" Halo. I am not a X-box fan I didn't own an Xbox but with the Virtual console and PSN you can easily see microsoft already left a footprint on console gaming. I do think they need to work on the life of thier system. If 360 lasts only 4 years that will be a problem..
