Forums - Microsoft - IGN: Top 10 Moves to Put 360 Back on Top

If they changed the controller, I'd cry. It's my favorite by far (though I admittedly only use the D-pad if absolutely forced to - I don't know why people insist on using them but whatever).

The 360 controller is like an extension of my own arms.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

1: More Halos
It's time to take a hint from Nintendo. Though only one true Mario game comes out every few years, games with Mario in them are in no short supply. It's the mascot that defines what Nintendo is and pervades everything the system does. Halo has been an undeniable success for Microsoft. Why not capitalize on it? Halo Wars is a good start, but why haven't we ever seen anything on Peter Jackson's Halo project? Why are the rumors of the next Halo first-person shooter pointing at it coming with the next Xbox console? Diversifying your library is nice, but Master Chief has already penetrated the mass market. Build on what works rather than trying to lay a new foundation.
I think more halo's would be a good idea, and adopt blu ray!!!!

Could work against them outside of the American FPS-loving crowd - especially Japan.  Mario has much broader appeal than Master Chief.

True...
They need multiple mascots, however, nothing wrong with Mastercheif leading the pack.

Actually all good points but XBox Live being over priced is over rated.

I've gotten a years worth of XBLA for $35 or less every year thanks to Amazon and Newegg deals.

My friends not only find XBLA more stable but more, shall we say, active? I'm sure numbers will get closer in the long run, but as long as multiplatform games continue to sell better on the 360 there will always be more players on Live. Not to mention the few cross platform games like Lost Planet which hopefully pave the way into getting even more players on XBox Live.

I think once Home comes out things will be different, but right now the PS Network can't compete against Live outside of being "free". And while Sony can brag about being free, we all know there is no such thing as free forever. Eventually Sony will charge or do something else to get them more money.

MS accessories are WAY overpriced. But how many times do I have to say this? Maybe a hundred? 20 gig HD's on eBay used are going for $30 or LESS. That makes the Arcade 230 with the HD, and you can sell your memory card to make the difference. People are just lazy when it comes to this.

Lastly, Blu-Ray I'm not sure what to think of. Right now? No. In the future? Maybe. What will MS use when It's time for more space? Graphically gamewise all the 360 games can match the PS3 so graphics on blu-ray versus standard DVD don't seem to make a difference gaming wise.

Just some food for though from your MS "fanboy" and Wii owner.



It's just that simple.

the xbox control is very good indeed, my favorite since the dreamcast control

Add a slot loading disc drive


No thank you. Do not want.

 

Sansui, stuck in the 90s confirmed.

Slot loading discs are more solid, less prone to breaking and also less prone to scratching your disc. Just because its on the other two consoles doesnt mean you need to hate it.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

ΒULLSHIT IGN LIST


X360 is still in second place after Wii

When games like Gears of War 2 or Alan Wake or Fable 2 or Ninja blade gets released the sells will rise up more !!

CONSOLES ARE ABOUT GAMES AND NOT ABOUT ACCESSORIES AND HARDWARE

5: Give Us a Casual Friendly Controller
No, the Big Button Pad doesn't count. Dual analog controllers are a great all-purpose solution, but those who haven't grown up gaming often have trouble wrapping their heads around it. Go ahead and ask your aunt to play Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. It may be funny to you watching them die in just a few seconds before you display your superiority, but that's as simple as games get and new players often struggle with it. A motion controller might not be the solution, or it might be. Either way something basic for people to get into simple Arcade games will help Microsoft expand its user base in ways that Viva Piñata, as good as it may be, or avatars could never hope to.

What the hell is IGN talking about ??!!!!!!!!!!

The X360 controller is one of the best !!!!

and its even better from that ugly Syraxis piece of crap of PS3 and as about BLURAY it is a worthless and expensive storage disc which is only good for Movies

IGN = PS3 fanboy site

I am not going to waste more time with the IGN stupidity
