But seriously tho - Where did Xbox 360 go wrong?!

[squibbfire]

Xbox came in 2nd/3rd this past generation because...


1: Early Xbox 360 failures scared casuals away. 54 percent failure rate for first 25 million. How many of those are in a landfill now?

2: At the time the price was still too high for any game console.(at least one without bluray)
3: Xbox brand before 360 was not solid...and with the RROD still not solid after. xbox360 screwed a lot of poor gamers over. #brandkiller
4: Xbox like Apple does not know how to compete well in a market place. They should have lowered prices and pushed updated consoles faster.(they STILL have a 4gb model to sell???!!)
5: Halo/gears of war were poor titles at bringing hardcore FPS over from PS3
6: Customers know when they are getting nickel and dimed (xbox live vs free anyone?)
7: PS3 has been and is thee most active played/sold console for the past 4 or 5 years. (remember more then half original xbox360s sold are sitting in a landfill.

I'm sure there are more reasons...but when you look at the polls at why people didn't buy the 360...it speaks for itself...and then when you walk into any gamestop or used game store...There are usually a large amount of xbox360s available along with signs..."we are not taking anymore xbox 360s in trade"....and if they do take them in trade they only will give you 20,40 or 60 bucks. Dumping an xbox360 and going to a PS3 was like getting an upgrade to most people.
