I can make a similar list.....short answer is that fans will side with their corporate gods no matter what.

While that is true, Xbox definetly gets a lot less flack than PS and Nintendo.

Its no wonder, Nintendo hardly ever taps into its wide swath of earlier ips, and why PSN/PS+ has to give away free games and and only have multiplayer behind a paywall to even be on the same tier as "XBOX LIVE GOLD"

There was more outrage at the PSN hack then the RROD.

I mean Xbox had the audacity to announce DRM for the platform possibly under the assumption that PS would do the same, and if they did PS would definetly get the blame.

They practically abandoned the OG Xbox in the first year of the 360, trying to force xbox owners into upgrading when the ps2 was still getting support years after despite releasing earlier.

Unlike Playstation and Nintendo, the former part of a company that has been predicted for bankruptcy for about 8 years and the later than soely depends on its profits from the game industry, Xbox is owned by Microsoft, which has tons of money, and regardless of what their investors think, they aren't going to abandon MS for the xbox brand alone, Xbox could easily out do Nintendo and PlayStation, which they only did with the OG Xbox, but now they are lagging behind PS because of their own prideful mistakes. Xbox is definetly not held to the same standard as PS or Nintendo, and it definetly shows.

"Xbox definetly gets a lot less flack than PS and Nintendo" "There was more outrage at the PSN hack then the RROD."

.........you and I could not have more opposite views in how we view the gaming world.

They abandoned Xbox because there was no more room left to grow and it was losing money the entire time......because PS2 cornered the market and made said growth impossible. No wonder PS2 stuck around....it was winning.

Xbox is simply where Sony was in 2005....very arrogant. But we see that they have allready learned. Don Mattrick is fired, all E3 mistakes were reversed, free game giveaways. Id say its only a matter of time before we see a kinect-less sku.
