For what you mentioned for gaming preferences, the 360 does have the better software library, and has no chance of being "dreamcasted". It will definitely continue to get the game types that you mentioned, even if it does end up in 3rd place this gen (unlikely at this point). Be aware, however, that it's software library focuses lopsidedly on certain genres of games while ignoring others. This is definitely affected because of it's main focus in North America, while doing below average in Europe and a complete non-factor in Japan. HOWEVER I would still wait a bit before purchasing one. Hardware reliability is still an issue. A die shrink for the processor and graphics, which should help with cooling and reliability, has already been confirmed for later this year. A price drop may be implemented by then as well, making the deal much better value overall if you have the patience. Just my 2 cents, I hope I didn't sound biased. ^,^;;
Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.
