I can tell you how great the 360 is, because it a system for gaming.  And as far as gaming goes, the 360 is best for my tastes.  They have released an amazing number of great games.  The only negative thing people ever have to say about the system is RROD, and that is not even an issue when they fix it for free within 2 weeks(I know, I had to send mine in).  360 will be remembered for having awesome ass games.

As far as handhled games go, a Microsoft hand-held would tank horribly. 

Nope , I was just say an handheld wouldn't be a good idea. That's all i'm saying. i just feel that Microsoft thinks that can raise the flag and say they defeated sony in the console war and is in second place. You could call me crazy and say i don't know what i'm talking about but the console war is not over. It won't end in 2 years. Just remember anything can happen from then till now.

@JaggedSac, the only reason 360 has more games than the ps3 and wii is because it came out a year before. That's also why they have a larger userbase on xbox live. They have more than one problem. i'm not saying the ps3 and wii don't have problems,what system never had problems. All i'm saying is if it was the best than it would number 1 console in this generation. The wii is the number 1 system in this generation and it was released a year after. That's quite sad for microsoft. I don't hate the 360 but microsoft and the majority of 360 owners pat themseleves on their back way too much.

I never said anything about the total number of games for the systems. I was merely commenting that the 360 has more amazing quality games that fit my tastes than the other systems. The amount of time it has been out is irrelevant to me. If at this point in time I want a new game to play, there are many, may, many for the 360 that i haven't played but would like to. Just because something sells the most does not necessarily make it the best. Look at Hollywood movies, they do very well, and most are shit.

 Well.... DUHH! They're businesses. :s Of COURSE they want Sony's sales to go down. Just like they want Nintendo's sales to go down. And of course they'll do whatever it takes. Same with Sony. And copying is just what most companies are good at.

 Sony is thinking of releasing a handheld similar to the gameboy. That really pisses me off. Sony already has the ps2 and it's selling well. Why must they release a handheld. It seems like they'll do anything to put nintendo sales down. If they do release something like the psp, they're ripping off nintendo and sega. What's next, motion control on the dualshock similar to the wiimote? here's the link of were i found out this information.

at least sony was creative with psp. its different from the ds. microsoft wants to create a handheld exactly like the psp and add more features to it to make it look different. howvever, it will still be the same.

 Except for the fact that sony didn't know what a DS was when they were designing the psp and they designed a gameboy with prettier graphics. AKA sony did exactly the same you are blaming on MS.

 So either what they both did was ok or it wasn't, you can't have it the other way. 

Someone in this thread seems very familiar...but I can't quite put my finger on it...

It seems like Microsoft enjoys entering races to come 3rd place.
