From my standpoint:

Rare is not as good as it used to be during their Nintendo days.

Knowing Microsoft and their marketing, they tend to go for the largest market with the biggest trends first and the hardcore gamer second.

Microsoft has less franchises than Nintendo and Sony when it comes to console gaming, just look at the 1st/2nd party support.

For some, Xbox Live is not worth the purchase.

Kinect did little to capture and retain the same hype as the Wii did while Kinect tech has only been best utilized in "dancing" style/type games.

Most Xbox 360 users I've come across in real life mainly play shooters.

It is really negative, or is it just the way it is?  I think it's just the way it is while these factors do not play high in my book.  Yet, for the typical Xbox 360 user, all this might be just fine to him.  Disagree with me all you want, anyone's right?  But if you cannot accept a reasonable viewpoint by deeming it as "negative," the negativity did not originate from the statement but from the source of the misinterpretation.

What's wrong with Rare? I don't understand why everyone has to hate on Rare these days...

"Knowing Microsoft and their marketing, they tend to go for the largest market with the biggest trends first and the hardcore gamer second." Uh HELLO, have you ever heard of Halo 4, Gears Judgement, Ascend New Gods, Forza Horizon, Splinter Cell Blacklist? The Majority of Xbox E3 2012 was nothing but hardcore games with a handful of Kinect games.

Many love Xbox Live and I have no problem paying for a service that is clearly superior to PSN or Wii. Remember next time you get hacked on PSN, you get what you pay for!

"Kinect did little to capture and retain the same hype as the Wii," Kinect sold over 24 million units which has eclipsed the original Xbox in sales. It's probably the most successful add on/peripheral for a game console of all time. That's pretty good.


Clearly superior? Really? Clearly the same with the only difference being Xbox having Party Chat. The same online play you get with xbox you get on PS3 and PC. Just facts

PSN getting hacked? LOL xbox gets hacked too. Next time you are buying Fifa DLC for some other user remember you get what you payed for

Glad you talked about Kinect and it's sales. That is how Xbox seems to declare success... sales. Until the other companies catch up and/or pass xbox. Then it's market share this gen compared to last gen.
