they can't seem to do anything original to save their lives.
Apart from their brilliant online component and world-class developer support you mean? I mean I hate MS like any other guy but why must everything be "original"? How about providing a great platform for developers to make great games? Which they definitely did. They had and still have the best game library out there. This didn't happen because they are incompetent but because they pulled in PC game developers.
This has definitely improved the game selection for the 360 (and I think also for the PS3) which is the most important thing in gaming. The platform they provided in online functions, downloads, hardware, development tools etc. has been the gold standard for quite a while and Sony has been playing catchup (I think they succeeded quite nicely though).
So after having lauded MS for two paragraphs I now have to wash out my mouth with soap and make some obligatory remarks about their completely awful quality their complete lack of any style
