Xbox360:
The console to go to if you like shooters and online gaming.

Nintendo:
I'm gonna be honest. I don't have anything positive to say, i would be a liar if i said so. That's just me

how about they revitalized gaming in the 80s?  Even if you hate their franchises (which I don't get how you could other than NSMB and Mario Party maybe) you gotta admit that they helped the industry as a whole then.
