Xbox 360 has really made a name for itself

The 360 is proving time and time again that they have the winning formula. Despite losing Japan - and the RRoD, most gamers don't care and find the 360 being the bomb. Developers love it for its insane attach rates - publishers love it for getting paid ... and Sony hates it for stealing once loyal customers fed up with their delays, game library and very, very unnecessary features.

I love how folks talk about how the 360 doesn't have a card reader, built-in wifi, Blu Ray player ... but guess what it does have? A library of games for everyone. The PS3? Not so much.

Don't get me wrong - while I am really impressed by Ratchet and Clank, I just don't see a squirrel/chipmunk whatever that fool is ... being the savior of the PS3. I mean, folks were ACTUALLY comparing him to Master Chief's system moving, game moving ability. HA HA ...

The PS3 can turn things around, but the only way they'll do it is with a truckload of PS3s and a few crackheads distributing them.

This battle is between the 360 and Wii for first ... Sony, get to work on the PS4 ...

 I wouldn't say that it has the "winning formula" and that everyone thinks it's "the bomb."  And I don't think there will be much of a "battle between 360 and Wii for first."  I think Nintendo has the winning formula, seeing it's ahead of the 360 after giving it a year headstart, and Halo3 already out.  I think the Wii has a pretty comfortable spot in first.  Nintendo came up with a creative, original, ballsy formula, and it paid off, so I feel they deserve more credit in that regard.   I'd say, according to the media, and it's recent place in pop culture, more people are saying the Wii is "the bomb."

 

... Not to say at all that the 360 is not a great console, and not to say that it is a failure or anything.  But if we are going to give credit for the things you mentioned, (winning formula and a general perception of being "the bomb,") I just feel that Nintendo deserves credit much more than microsoft.  The 360 has an excellent library of great games, and it surely is a huge improvement over the first Xbox.
