If you're crazy enough to move your console while playing you deserve to get your games destroyed.

Another meh list. The oversized Xbox controller was a disaster, as was the RROD situation. BC isn't perfect but it's far from a failure. You may not like paying for online (I don't) but that doesn't make it a failure.


You're hard to please aren't you? lol!

Yes, if you're moving the console while playing, you're basicaly asking for bad things to happen. Although that was really scary. I haven't tried it, but i don't think that's supposed to happen.


But of course. I have my standards. V_V

His list is pretty much Crap. I could mention way better things than that. Also most things he mentioned aint even bad

I will keep

Original HUGE controller
Overpriced accessories (i think it was ingenious however)
Dashboard adverts (it looks a mess)
Kinect lag
Disk destruction
Not using rare properly
HD DVD Losing
RroD
Charging for XBL

I will add

Droping the original xbox like a hot rock
M$ stopping their exclusive initiative a few years into the longest gen we have ever had
XBONE being so anti consumer at reveal



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

This was the worst of the three. Most of these things seemed forced.


Yeah, pretty much this.

You can tell this list is dated, too, since a few of these things don't exclusively apply to Xbox anymore (such as paying for online).



My number 1:

MS - X360 RRoD

(Sony - PS3
Nintendo - Tie between N64 cartridges and dropping Wii concept for WiiU)



I knew RROD would be number one.

10. I am a big Dreamcast fan so I loved the first controller. I think the 360 pad is much better, but that doesn't make the first one a "fail".
9. Eh... is this really a fail? All companies over price their accessories. There is not a single one who doesn't. And you can use cheap flash drives for storage.
8. Blaming MS for DLC? Another no for me.
7. Agreed. The spacial requirements made the first Kinect virtually unplayable for me as I had a tiny game room at the time.
6. This never happened to me, but I would agree it's a fail just because it's so stupid.
5. Did they really complain about having to buy old games? Is MS supposed to just give out the entire Xbox library or something? I think they had a great DLC solution. Could be like the PS3 where they took it away.
4. Agreed. Though, this can change completely if rumors of a new Battletoads are true.
3. No, the cost of Live was fine to me. It made possible a superior online experience. Thankfully Sony is stepping up their online game and charging too.
2. Not a fail to me because I didn't give a ****. Though, this is kind of a contradiction. Earlier they complain about having to buy accessories. Should MS have included the HD-DVD in the console and jacked up the price? That would have been a fail.
1. Agreed. Happened to me 3 or 4 times myself, though they were always quickly "fixed". Last time they replaced my console so it's never happened again. But it never should have happened at all. Both MS and Sony will have to show me something in terms of reliability for next gen.
