I bought the original xbox. A year later microsoft ditched it. No support at all. Keeping the halo 2 servers running is not support enough. With the 360 microsoft went the ps2 way in terms of everything is an accessory. From wifi, controller batteries, hard drive, memory cards and that hd-dvd player. It ends up being more expensive that ps3. Also other than halo and gears there is simply not much there. Games like left4dead, alan wake and fable can all be played on the pc. So yea that.
