Why would I ever want to purchase a neXtBox 720?

Im not 100 percent wrong on anything as the 360 has sold over 70 million units whike being in the exact same situation you describe the 720 will be in.

This is a sales site, use the numbers.  You forget that you are an incredible minority in the world of gaming who actually goes out and looks at different things consoles / PC market offers.  You would be completly shocked to know the vast majority of the gaming world doesnt even know or understand what titles are 1st party or even exclusive

 

Always remember internet forums arent reflective of real life

bolded... not true. Current PCs with XP/Vita/7 were never fully like a 360. 360 always had Live where as PCs only very recently started to get that. Additionally, the entire entertainment/computing market has shifted greatly due to smartphones/tablets/etc.

I'm also talking about me and those of us on this site. We are not the mass market. We are the core gaming/tech people.

Well if you arent interested in Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable then yes there is no reason to own a 360.  How on Earth that is reflective with what MS will offer with their next gen console is beyond me since you and I have zero idea what exclusive IP are coming and whether they will ever go to PC or not.

Again your entire argument is flawed.  You know nothing about the 720 yet act like you do.

1.  You have no idea what services it offers

2.  You have no idea what exclusive new IP is coming

3.  You have no idea what 3rd party exclusive IP is coming

4.  You have no idea if any of that will be ported to PC.
