Forums - Microsoft - Is the Xbox 360 getting the respect it deserves?

For the same console price for slim and elite gamers get free psn, which while still behind hind XBL it is well worth the money ;). Furthermore, they get one of the best blu-ray players on the market and a slew of great PS3 exclusives. 360 is selling well but the console is mostly for shooter fans especially if you look at the best seller charts.

The dude abides   

360 is a great console, its the first console that gave me an experiance to play online.. something I didnt much care for before but now is a must for me

One of my favorite consoles ever, plus its from a non-japanese developer, so it Should get more respect in my opinion!!

Well it is getting the respect it deserves, IMO, With all due respect the PS3 deserves more for becoming such a great value, hence the huge turnaround.

In your opinion. In truth, it is not getting half the respect it deserves. Japan still wont budge no matter how good the 360 is or even how far it  sets itself apart from Sony. In Europe, now that the GT5 should win out the year.

same thing happens in america to ps3 on a smaller scale. Americans love American companies.


Japan seems more B.S. one sided than America is...

If that was the case all of you would be on 360 side, which we should be doing

Hello, I have noticed that the Xbox 360 has some high quality games such as Gears of war 1/2, Halo 3, Fable 3, Forza 2/3, etc.

The Xbox 360 also plays DVDs and has digital distibution for movies and games.

Xbox live is full of amazing content and well worth its price, it has arguably the best online for any home entertainment system.

Why is it that it gets beat by the PS3 in Europe (Excluding UK)? The Price is right, it sells like hotcakes in United States/Canada, why doesnt it sell well in Europe? What more could the public want? Any guesses? It already has racing games and soccer games so idk...

while I understand the point, it's not like Japan is this huge amazing market like USA is. 360 is down in Japan by about 28k each week, same thing happens to ps3 here.

sony has a decent value but its just as decent as back when it came out. Its just all the components cost cheaper now. When it came out the cheapest blue ray player was like 400$ and now the cheapest ones are like under 100$ for example.

When the PS3 came out, it was the cheapest blu-ray player and held that for a few years. (Stand alone BR players were roughly +$900).  Seeing as how PS3 were selling at a huge lost with everything built-in, it definitely had the better value.  But to all ones opinion to how they depic value.

Im not sure if even the cheapest BR players are under $100, maybe $150 for them crappy brand where Sony/Samsung's cheapest BR player are roughly at $199.  There are DVD players that are still just under $100 so not sure if they'd price them at the same level.



Saleswise? I think it's doing well. Sony has a very strong brand-name worldwide, and most people concentrate on the anti-trust bad press that MS had when speaking about them. Considering how badly MS is thought of the 360 does very well for itself.

As far as VGChartz goes, no it does not. There is a very dismissive attitude on this site, sort of a well as an earlier poster said, "360 is in the past" type of attitude here. If you don't like people belittling the 360 and it's fanbase, this may not be a good site for you. I'm a 360 supporter myself, but people saying bad things about it doesn't really bother me (too often, sometimes I get cranky ). There are a lot of great posters here and fun conversations to be had!
