By the way, that Xbox One deal is only £50 more than the current price of an Xbox 360 - a 10 year old console

It's not 360's fault that it is so awesome Xbox One has to suit itself to his older brother :P

Exactly. 360 is my 3rd favorite console ever (would be 2nd if the diverse exclusives had continued beyond 2008). It's a better console than the PS3 in every aspect (early indie support, controller, interface, architecture, price) with the exception of its game library imo.

1. PS1/N64
2. PS3
3. Xbox 360

The diverse exclusives like Kameo, Dead or Alive, Project Gotham Racing, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Gears of War, Viva Piñata, Crackdown, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden, Fable 2 and The Last Remnant all stopped in 2008. From there on the only exclusives were sequels of Halo, Gears and Forza.

Ironically PS3 really started to shine in 2008 and 2009 with exclusives like Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Valkyria Chronicles, Killzone 2, inFamous, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank: ACiT.
