Mismanagement of first parties.

Don't like people talking bad about microsoft eh?

OT: Not buying first parties imo

so many fuck ups with the 360 yet idiots still bought it, sad people are dumb

ya sadly the other two consoles choices had around twice as many fuck ups. Guess all console gamers are sad dumb people this gen.

Wow bullshit from a defensive 360 fanboy, I did not see that coming 

No its a thinly veiled swipe at xbox. It is listing every fault that the xbox has ever had... seriously how do you not see the issue in this?

There are dozens of threads that point the fingers at Sony and Ninty also. Its fun to look and see at the mistakes that could hav changed this generation compeletly. 

I bought a 360 at launch an was my preferred console for the first 2 years but PS3 has my preference now, what went wrong:

No built-in wifi. 360 ended up in the game room while I bought 2 ps3's, one in the living room for blu-ray and games, and one in the game room.

RROD, it died twice on my, first when forza 2 came out, then again with Mass Effect. Nothing like waiting a month before you can play the game you've just bought.

Live voice chat quality, I could hardly understand my friends, had bad echo's and buying a new headset did not help.

Together with lag and lots of disconnects I decided to cancel gold, it was just not worth paying for back then. The disconnect and lag were probably caused by it mainly using peer to peer connections for online gaming. For example TDU would work fine online until I started a match with others resulting in 90% connection failures.

And a couple issues for the audio/videophile in me: No HDMI on the launch model, limited to 640kbps Dolby digital sound, and an annoying default gamma correction which makes everything look too dark on a properly calibrated tv.

The uncompressed sound over hmdi and free online, just for when I fancy to give it a shot, lead me to buy all multiplats on ps3 over 360. With less and less exclusives for my taste on 360 it has become pretty much irrelevant in my gaming time.

I'm hoping for a great kinect game as an excuse to buy a kinect slim bundle with wifi and hdmi to put in the living room.

I don't think that Microsoft did some real relevant mistakes with the Xbox 360 they more than double the sales compared with the first Xbox and they get a big part of Sonys  market share to Xbox so that means indeed they do many things right. Nintendo does also a extremely well job with the Wii, otherwise they would not be the market leader.

Only Sony should real question waht they did wrong with the PS3 because they had lost so many customers compared with the last Generation and well I know many things there did wrong.

1) 599 Dollars at Releas that was only dumb of Sony.

2) Long time no good Games for PS3, people almost waited 3 Years bevore they get the first few good exklusiv PS3 Games.

4) Sony has no own ideas they only copy from others, Move is a 1:1 replica of Wii Mote, PSN is a copy of Xbox live. People wan't own ideas they dont want only copy shit.

5) The PS3 only get Shooter Games former popular Genres on PS2 like JRPGs or Jump and Runs  completely miss on the PS3. People want variations they dont want only Shooter Games.

Taht is only a short list wat Sony did wrong with the Ps3, is has definetly a Reason why Sony is on the 3rd place with the PS3 and why they lost so many customers.

Trolling much?  Everybody knows there were mistakes by Microsoft in the 360, just like there are mistakes with every console, and nobody asked what mistakes were made for the PS3.
