Shouldn't success be measured by the games?

if its by games then 360 is a distant 3rd, any way you look at it the xbox is th eworst console.

There's virtually nothing on the 360 I enjoy right now (Do not care for Gears of War, Halo, or Bioshock, and I have Orange Box on the PC), and I would still argue the 360 has the best current lineup of games.

But there is the problem right there. That's not an argument you should ever get in, because it isn't based on anything but opinion.

 It's like you have x-ray eyes and can see right through to the heart of the matter. Personally though, I think you're wrong but only because you're not taking the long view. I don't think video games have been around long enough for anyone to have a very good perspective on them. History will have the final say. If you're around long enough you could be one of the people writing that history.

Just to be clear, on the matter of aesthetics I'm basically a Kantian. Since we're talking about games I'll give an example: Chess is a good game and anyone who says differently is plain wrong. I stand by that statement and take it as a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion.
