Is the 360 as big a success as everyone is making out??well it cant be avoided but the "RROD" fiasco was shameful and most likely will have put a lot of people off buying a future microsoft console,hell it may have even driven people to purchase wii or ps3.It had a year head start over the competition yet still got surpassed by the wii very quickly and will most likely get passed by a console which had a botched launch and slow start.Also the 360 has failed to make a dent into the japanese market yet wii and ps3 are strong in all the major countries.Thanks to kinect it has perhaps taken some of the wiis casual audience,especially now the wii has been hung out to dry even by Nintendo themselves,but sony seem to have got their act together on the ps3 front and with the multimedia functions and blu-ray it offers,i feel it is the more attractive purchase of the two.Dont get me wrong this isnt a bash the 360 post,it has done a lot of things well (the online is unrivalled) and it has taken microsoft forward leaps and bounds in the console business.But like the wii and ps3 it is far from perfect.
