Nº 1 alone makes it an hideous console.

Nº 2 and 3 are fair enough, but hardly make it the best.

Nº 4 is bullshit as some of the previous consoles were also easy to develop for, but they only chose to compare it to PS2. As if that was a fair comparison to Xbox, poor thing.

Nº 5 depends on taste but more importantly it wasn't due to Xbox, but to the fact that the most prominent japanese developers didn't adapt to western tastes as that target audience was the one that expanded the most. Non-point really.

Nº 6 is grasping at straws. PS2 was the absolute leader and is still unmatched, even by the portable DS. At most, that generation was ruled by PS2 and the other 2 trailed behind at similar pace.

No gaming console was ever as easy to develop for as a PC until the Xbox. The NES and Genesis may not have been as difficult as the PS3, but even they weren't as easy to write programs for as C+ on PC at the time.
