Post something actually positive about the 360 thread

[Infamous]

Started successful online gaming with consoles (well the first Xbox, not 360) mostly due to Halo and the beginning of XBL, paving the way for Sony this gen. Very complete and firm online system, which although costs $35/yr on Amazon, etc, is well worth the asking price.

Started the Achievement system on consoles which became wildly popular and has the most robust achievement system/sites/fansites and compalibility (easy to compare to all friends or to millions of others in the world at any time, etc) out there.

Party chat, which is insanely fun when you have a lot of friends to play with or even just to hang out and talk to many people at once. Especially good for clans and groups of friends.

Best controller this gen, aside from the D-Pad. Analog placement, triggers, weight/feel in your hand.. Microsoft, keep this controller scheme and perfect the DPad for next gen and you'll be GENIOUSES.

Started Halo, which is one of the most robust, loved ad popular FPS franchises of all time with very deep canon and lore if you're into that thing. Possibly the most robust online shooter multiplayer experience with Reach taking it to a whole new level (Firefight, Versus Firefight, Forge 2.0 (forgeworld which looks AMAZING), Theatre 2.0, Arena, all the multiplayer modes, very deep Armory customization system (for both Spartan and Elite), Challenges (daily, firefight, etc), credit system (cR), complex tracked stats system, best Campaign since Halo: CE according to IGN, etc... need I go on? I can go on forever..FPS game of forever!)

XBLA. A pure goldmine, 'nuff said. Also, XBL Indie games, which only cost a dollar and are made by people like you and me, some of them becoming famous for their games and making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Too bad I'm not good at making games..

Xbox 360 S. Microsoft finally got their hardware done perfectly (although it did take long enough). Makes me excited for what's in store next gen since they finally nabbed down hardware right.

Kinect, which has casuals at my store dying in anticipation. Dance Central will be a 5m seller confirmed, and will be the best game to have at ANY party, especially when drinks are involved! :P But what I like about it is it fits my laziness well. XBOX PAUSE. XBOX OFF.

Most importantly, stamina. I have never seen a console dragged down so much due to haters and fanboys as much as the Xbox 360. Never have I seen problems so exaggerated and hate spewed so forcefully torwards a piece of machiney in my life, yet it's stil chugging along stronger than ever with a nonstop growing userbase. Toppled a behemoth in the gaming industry to the ground with it's second iteration on the market, and clinging by as brand recognition and hatred is used against it as the competition tries to crawl back to it's former place (which, ironically, is taken by another competitor at the moment!). Hater's gonna hate, but I'll be damned if it isn't making Xbox a stronger brand then ever.
