Microsoft’s Efforts to Bring Japanese Games to Xbox One Should be Encouraged, Not Mocked

To be perfectly honest, I don't like Xbox at all.

But I've had my ups and downs with Sony and Nintendo through out the years too.

What Xbox fans need to realize is the hate isn't unjustified. It's not like Sony and Microsoft are equals in the market. Xbox LITERALLY made an inferior product last gen AND this gen.

I am all for more consoles and games, Xbox just CHOOSES to not deliver. They are spending more time on custom controllers than making ACTUAL games. If they MADE games, they would get less hate. It's really as simple as that.

Exactly how was the 360 an inferior product to the PS3?

Last time i checked devs preferred the 360 over the PS3 and offered majority of the better 3rd party games.

When your console launches with AT LEAST a 33% failure rate, I would consider that an inferior product.  An issue MS couldn't fix completely until 3 different chipsets later.  And for all of their consoles, there were also things they could have improved by spending a few pennies for each console, most notably the DVD drive stabilization.  Just tapping the thing would lead to scratched discs.  Hell, small scratches could result from enough ambient vibration.  It may have been better for devs, til they got the hang of the PS3, but it was worse for customers.  I think it's part of the reason the PS3 was able to pass the 360, even though for the first half of the gen the entry price for the 360 was $200 cheaper.  It also lead to more trust in the PS4 at launch, even with MS's 180 on its policies.
