yeah i read that article myself and was actually wondering why most analysts predict a bad third for 360.

the thing is i got the 360 having owned a ps2 i wasnt loyal to any company the 360 was there and i had a bit of disposable income.

if the ps3 had been out at the time of my purchase i would have got that without doubt.

having said that i am now very happy with my 360 and feel no need to get any other console and i sometimes wonder how many people have done the same as me

my point been this hardcore image seems a bit misplaced sometimes imo.
i suppose time will tell and these analysts will either be right or they will just change their minds.

also i think if ms pulled out of the gaming market it would be bad for all gamers as there would be less competition.

 

I understand where you are coming from but for me, the PS1 was my first true console, then the PS2. I had to have a way to keep playing my old games so despite the fact that I admired the 360. I had to exercise patience for the PS3. I had an original Xbox just for Ninja Gaiden but it ended up on PS3 so I won't make that mistake twice. NG2 doesn't seem that great anyway

still this time it just feels different i remember summer 06 going in to buy my ps2 games and looking at the games on the display 360 and thinking this is good.

now you walk into any game store and the display of 360 games is double that of ps3 whereas last gen it was the opposite.

i do take on board the ps name and what it stands for it is a bit like the vacum cleaner over here where we all say hoover as it was the first vacum cleaner; if you know what i mean.

ms have there work cut out but lets face it dominating the market is second nature to them and i dont see them going down without a fight. only time will tell i suppose.
