Top 10 Reasons why the XBOX 360 is Very Successful

[DirtyP2002]

1. Xbox Live - easily the best online experience on a console.
2. 3rd party support - nobody ever expected Final Fantasy, Tekken, DMC, Resident Evil or GTA to be on the Xbox 360.
3. great new exclusives - Halo was a no brainer, but Mass Effect, Gears of War, Left 4 Dead, Forza Motorsport became very big franchises this gen. Forza was available on the original Xbox as well, but Forza 2 and Forza 3 made a big step forward this gen
4. Xbox Live Arcade - it was soemthing we haven't seen before on a console and it worked out well.
5. Marketing - IMO MS has the best marketing team in this industry. Halo, Gears or Fable ads were amazing.
6. price - actually a fair price for a console like this. The Xbox 360 elite has the same price like the PSP Go.
7. VoD - VoD is becoming more popular every day and the Xbox 360 has the best VoD lineup on the market
8. Controller - the controller is the best I have ever played with
9. Easy to develop for - another reason for great 3rd party support.
10. It is a powerful machine. It is in its fifth year right now and some games still make my jaw drop.
