I purchased my 360 for the library. I had a Wii for six months and had half a dozen games, but the console for my anyway was a wasteland of nothing I really wanted. I really had expected a repeat of the 64, but with Rare gone and Nintendo shifting attention between two markets I felt like I was holding a empty sack.
I think you will find that the 360 has two real detractors. The hardware reliability which is only getting better with time now. The problem with the machine basically was that is was so overpowered that it was tearing itself apart. With every less energy intensive component they add into subsequent models the problem should wane and in the end disappear entirely. Once the newer models demonstrate their greater reliability that will stop being a valid concern.
The second problem is the Live price point. Merely being matched in online play is not enough even if the system was very competently done. Many consumers expect more for a fifty dollar service especially if they do not play online constantly. Microsoft needs to spice up the offering. Giving three free decent games would help a couple free movies would help even more. A little more value in the offering would help greatly.
