Forums - Sales - Xbox 360. Impressive longevity.

fmjasinski on 05 March 2013

Is a really impressive mark, why so many fans are trying to bash this? "In the long run PS3 will have more longivity?"
This is not the point and this is not proven. (don`t happen yet)
What happens and can be proved: xbox 360 was launched in 2005 and there is not a sucessor announced yet. More than 7 years in the market like the major console of one of the big three.
THIS IS BIG.
Well, Wii loose for a obvious reason: hardware power.
PS3 will no match that mark, the sucessor is already announced. They can sell more years after the sucessor, but, AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE POINT.
Xbox 360 is really impressive piece of hardware, PS3 came one year later with a higher price and we don`t have a significant difference in performance.

Why PS fans trying to shit on this thread with PS3 being supported longer?

360 been on the market longest for any console before successor launches. That's something we have and they don't have, and frankly something nobody expected.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

No. It's is my thread and its about time on sales before successors.  So your post is off topic and irrelevant.

Ask for anybody here if I'm offtopic... you and your nonsense ideias.

Kaz is right... the PS3 have a 10+ years plan... 360 have what? I can't see MS supporting 360 after Nextbox release... so 8 or 9 years?

Well I don't care about 360.

Just because you "say what you think", doesnt make it appropriate or necessary. 3rd parties alone will keep 360 alive.

This is a laughable deflection post if I ever saw one, because this is about sales before the successor is out, not lifetime support. In this regard, 360 outlasted PS3....I know, crazy thought. Times are changing

how long a system lasts before it's successor is released is not impressive.  the longer the gap, the worse for gamers and the more money they are scrapping from us on old tech (i'm not saying old tech is worthless... but I'm saying it's about time to introduce new tech so gamers can enjoy both if they want).  but how long it is supported (even after the next system is released) is impressive.  I'm more interested to look at "support longevity" vs. "gap between system released".

as per support, so far ps2 killed it, and ps3 is looking promising.  PS2 had great games coming out for it long after PS3 was released, and so far, the same year PS4 is to be released, we are still seeing a push for exclusives on the PS3! i.e. God of War, Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, ... possibly Gran Turismo - i hope not... i want gran turismo on ps4... haha :)

however if the next xbox also comes out this year (which it should), there is already much less push for xbox360 new exclusives.  Although I do not own a 360, I hope (for xbox fans) that they don't fade out the 360 as quickly as the original xbox.  If everyone keeps up the competition, that's great for all gamers! :)
