srry i forgot to do the Q/A


Is the 360 a success? Yes
Did it succeed financially? Yes
Commercially? Yes
Did it live up to Microsoft's expectations? Yes
DId it provide the type of games that justified its existence? No it only had 1 for me
Is the 360 the underdog console that overcame all odds to become a hit or is the 360 the console that had all of the potential to be king, only to be overtaken in sales and games by its rivals? No on both accounts



Consider the 360's competition. Consider the 360's legacy. Consider the 360's obstacles. Consider the 360's contributions. Consider all of this and tell me if Microsoft and the gaming world are better off with the 360 on the market.

well when you put it like that, everything made in the 7th gen. was crap. i hope the 8th gen. is better.

Why do you say that?  All three consoles succeeded in some way over its competition (sales, power, games, graphics), all consoles lived up to their legacy in some form or another, all three overcame their obstacles, and all three contributed something major.  But did all of them overcome their shortcomings?  If anything, I'd say the 7th gen is the first gen where every console was awesome in its own way.

lmao

the real question is, was there a need for all these random PS3v360 threads! that's not a real question from me though. did you finish VC yet! that's not a real question either.

all 3 failed me, so in my eyes they all failed regardless of what they did good. this is the best gen. for consoles so far. this war only makes it worse. if it weren't for those other threads, i might have a different more positive opionion. but for now, neither console maker has done enough good to outweigh the bad.
