The Xbox 360 Was Probably the Best Engineered Video Game Console Ever

I am not a console gamer but I do happen to own all consoles and yes the 360 is by far the best engineered console to release. It was a developers dream, it had a great balance between its Ram, CPU and GPU, it also had the best controller ever built (based off reviews) and it still offers the best Multiplayer system to date. 

360 in my books is a masterpiece. It did everything and it did it well. I still own my original Slim 250gig and it still works like a charm.

Not against PS4 as I own one but lets be honest here, the PS4 doesnt even sit flat on my bench, it wobbles if you press down on a corner, and the PS3s controller buttons arent space out evenly. These are minor things but are design floors.

It has the highest failure rate of all consoles.

My personal experience with it: It broke almost immediately and I got it replaced. About a year later my new one stopped working again, so I swapped for a third one. Not long after my roommate's console stopped working.

Finally, as of about 8 months ago my third Xbox 360 ceased to function yet again meaning that I no longer have access to that game library unless I get a fourth. 4/4 of the xbox360s I came into contact with, then, are all no longer working and/or were sent in for refurbishment lol

I loved that console when it was working (my fav of the generation) but I'm glad it's in my past. Meanwhile, my Atari VCS, NES, Sega genesis, nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, PS3, and Wii all still work just fine. The only other console I've run into trouble with is the original playstation, which skips now.

Obviously those are just personal anecdotes, but I certainly can't rate it too highly for that reason. Besides, has there ever been a noisier console?
