Forums - Microsoft - Why dont you have a 360?

RRoD, DRM problems (now solved I think), it's expensive, I don't want to pay for online. It does have a lot of good games though and I expect I'll get one when the price comes down far enough.

I usually buy all systems, but I was not pleased when MS prematurely superceded the XBOX with the 360. I don't accept any of the reasons for that as being acceptable to consumers (i.e., it's not my problem if they made poor decisions causing losses and I don't see the need to accept the obsolence so that they can attempt to gain market share).

As time went by RRoD and the overpriced "accessories" that cost nothing on all other consoles kept me, and still keeps me from buying a 360 (i.e., WiFi and Live). Really, the industry standard is included WiFi and free online.

I hoped that MS showed a 360-mote at E3 with a patch allowing older games to use it (can see this as not being too difficult for FPS'). This didn't happen, so I am going to buy my only "360 must have" for the PS3: BioShock. I plan on getting one of the FragFX controllers for FPS on the PS3 (had an adapter for the XBOX years ago that came from Lik Sang, it is excellent!).

As the third anniversary of the 360 quickly approaches and the console's sales usually hit 3rd place worldwide (and often 3rd place in each major region), I am very leery of a successor model in 2009. I could easily see MS announcing a new console at CES in January, right after Christmas sales...



Expensive + scared of RROD.

If i eventually get an HD system though, it will be a 360, better games...



I dont want any games on it. Meaning I dont want to buy it



You can blame the wife for that. I saw an offer for Elite & Bioshock a while back for £250 and was going to get it (at the time Elite was £300 with no game) but she was going on about how will I find to play it and Wii. So I didn't and since then I have lost interest. Will certainly get it when RE5 comes out although it will be painful to play without a Wii Remote.

As naznatips mentioned, too many PC multiplats.



I have a couple of reasons, most of them coming from the fact that I am gamerdrifting. I simply don't feel strongly enough about it to spend time and money on a console right now.


Oh, and I'm broke :(



This is invisible text!

Most games don't appeal to me, and they often get ported to the PC. The only real exclusive that I want on the 360 is Lost Odyssey.



The people on the numerous gaming site forums on the internet have convinced many people X360 is too risky of an investment. X360 may have the software. But MS are not cut out to make hardware.



Reliability worries.
