6. Games are still being made for it! Xenocrisis, Peir Solar, and Tanglewood are notable examples. Is anybody making 360 games in 2020? Do people think 360 games will be made in 2035 when it turns 30 years old?

Are we pretending that it isn’t easier to make games as a indie studio for the Genesis rather than a 360? Why would anyone release a game for 360 (or PS3) these days when they can just hit the current platforms? They don’t have a retro novelty factor like Dreamcast or Genesis. A little bizarre to use this against the 360

That's the point though. Genesis is a simple platform to develop for. That's part of its strengths. People want to continue developing for it, because it's simple, and using the limitations of the Genesis results in interesting gameplay, and sound design.

360 on the other hand is really just a generic PC in a box. Same goes for all current gen consoles, besides Switch.

I'm gonna have to go with the Xbox 360 as well.

It's my #3 top system of all time thanks to its multitude of excellent games, comfortable controller, and multiplat advantage in most cases.

That being said, I do have a real soft spot for the Megadrive, Saturn, Dreamcast, and original Xbox, all of which are awesome systems in their own right.
