| Nsanity said: I never really understood the whole "360 fans only play shooters" because the highest selling game on the HD twins is a shooter. |
When I hear xbox, all i can think of this gen is CoD (for its timed exclusives), Halo, GoW and Forza. That's 3 shooters all there and they are very good games with very high scores/fanbases/sellers but that is MS's blockbuster franchises. The last exclusive i can think of the top of my head, without looking up recent exclusives, is Alan Wake and that was in 2010. I honestly cannot. I am a PS3 fanboy so obviously i don't follow the 360 news much.
OT: Well 1 of those statements are true.
Rare has not performed well this gen but I still have fund memories of their older games, so they aren't terrible.
Kinect is purely for the casuals. Integration to "hardcore" titles has been voice only which is not very impressive. Also usher.
There are other franchises on the 360 but the main drive is for the shooters.
Live is not really a rip-off; you get what you pay and apparently Live is miles ahead of PSN but i honestly don't see the difference. Plus it really isn't too expensive.
Kinect IS dumb.
MS brings in the FPS crowd like no other consoles, you can't deny that. However, multiplat FPS sell well on PS3 as well so not much can be said.
My honest opnion on MS; I don't like exclusives games, i don't like paying for a service the competitors have for free even IF it is lower quality (debatable), and the xbox controller is just weird. Why would the d-pad and left analog stick be inverted? Some say because its better for shooters but I don't know.
MS and the xbox have gained a somewhat bad rep on the internet for some odd reason. Maybe people don't like the color green too much, maybe its the fact that their machines had like 55% failure rate at one point and some even had to get them repaired twice. Or maybe the PS family really is big enough to drown out the xbox fans. I'm not sure but I think we all need to sit down and talk over our differences at one point. This kind of animosity (its not even a friendly rivalry anymore) is bad for the website.
