I have yet to see a 360 title that impresses me more than Uncharted, Ratchet, OR heavenly sword :/ With MS's latest killer exclusive Mass Effect, I played it, and was not technically impressed. I was not wow'ed in the least. Then I think about games like GT5 on the horizon running 1080p, 60 FPS, and supporting 16 cars online? The sad thing is, I would say Assassins creed is probably the best looking game I've seen on the 360, and thats multi-plat :( Keep in mind I have played Gears of War, Halo 3, Bioshock AND Mass Effect. Broken promises are one thing, notoriously horrible hardware is another :( Getting your box fixed in European country's has been a major hastle from what I've heard and isn't so easily remedied. Microsoft will be fighting the uphilll battle in Europe/Japan, and to be honest I don't think thats a fight they're prepared for. They will do great in America though :P |
All valid points, although I would like to think that Microsoft has taken care of hardware problems. All those games you mentioned have impressed me greatly, but I guess thats why there's competition between the 2 platforms. 2008 will be an interesting year, as of right now both the 360 and PS3 are getting there tookuses handed to them by the Wii though. |
Yeah I want to believe their hardware is "taken care of" also, but you never know which box on the shelf is old/possibly defective :( so it's not much of a problem in America seeing as how they get new stock often, but of the OG units up in Europe.... still kinda shakey.
And yeah their both getting spanked by the Wii XD, but that was Ninty's goal the whole time, to at least match the sales of the 360 and PS3 combined :P, can't argue with a $250 game machine with no pricedrops yet ;)
