X360 is doomed again

LULZ 18 100.00%

So, by the words of some Microsoft important guys, there's no need for hardware upgrade, the 360 is here to stay, Natal will carry it even longer than forever. Fact.

Now listen to this:

- The PS3 is 3D capable.

- The Wii is not, but, according to recognized and qualified analyst Michael Pachter there's a new Wii  right at the corner and it will be 3D capable because some Nintendo important guys said just upgrading to HD wouldn't be enough. 3D for the Wii Plus it's a given.

- X360 will remain here not being 3D capable while PS3 and Wii Plus will "give us some orgasmic 3D graphic games popping out of our TV's and your 360 cannot do that."

 

Conclusion: X360 is doomed.

 

Theory fix

I didn't really checked if the 360 is 3D capable or not, I think I've read it somewhere. In the case of it being 3D capable, consider it as not being so this thread makes sense. Thank you. Happy posting.

The 360 may still be domed forever, but it won't be because of 3D.



The only way MS can save the 360 is by releasing a new, cool device.

No not Natal.
What they need is a voice recognition device for the 360. This device will turn on your 360 when you shout " LET'S GET THIS BITCH STARTED". The console will then turn on with a new, cool 360 logo, and deep voice saying cooly "Oh yeah".

Sales will shoot through the roof.

i dont believe one bit that the 360 will be around 10 years... the console is obsolete. yes, you can enhance the life cycle of the 360 with hardware/software but that means more money on peripherals that people will not buy into with MS rediculous pricing. yes, you can implemet these things into the 360 and release a new SKU but that also means bumping up the price. here's what people dont know. the ps3 is 3-D capable through firmware meaning no extra cash to purchase a 3-D ready ps3. the ps3 wand will be purchasable seperately and for 39.99. while MS Natal will cost nothing less then 100-150$ and if they include it into the 360 you can expect a price bump of 399-499 and you still have to buy seperate accessories (battery recharger, wi-fi, etc) and if they add 3-D it'll have to be through hardware not software like sony so expect the price to bump up more. thats why in my opinion MS hopes 3-D does not catch on. everything is already built in the ps3 so all sony has to do is release firmware and for only 299, while the 360 has to have external accesories: wi-fi, blu-ray, natal, battery recharger, and you telling me this will last 10 years? the console at times cant even past 6 months. the ps3 truely does everything. at this point it's all about advertisement sony has to make the public aware that they dont have to drop extra cash to truly enjoy the ps3 unlike its competitor. because to truly enjoy the 360 you will most likely have to invest 800 dollars with all the add-ons and fees (live, netflix).

for those who dont know:

for 360

want to watch blu-ray movies? okay buy the 360 external blu-ray drive rumored to cost 100-200$

want to go online wirelessly? okay buy an external wi-fi adapter for the 360 for 100$

tired of wasting money on batteries? okay buy the 360 battery recharger pack for 30-50$

want to increase your hardrive size? okay buy a MS license 360 harddrive for 100-200$

want 3-D? okay buy the external 3-D ready peripheral for the 360 for X amount of cash they charge

want to play Natal? okay buy it seperately for 100-200$

want to play online? monthly subscription

For sony

want blu-ray? built in blu-ray drive

want to use your blu-tooth headset? ps3 is bluetooth enabled

want to go online wirelessly? ps3 has built in wi-fi

dont like buying batteries? the ps3 controllers are rechargable via usb

want to experience 3-D? ps3 will be 3-D enabled via firmware

want to play using motion controlls? the ps3 wand is only 39.99

want to play online? it's free

 

And MS seriously wants me to believe their console will last 10 years compared to Sony's? HA!

The 360 may still be domed forever, but it won't be because of 3D.

Even in the past gen that 3D existed. Attack of the movies 3D, is a 3D shooter coming to the Wii.

 

There's a rant about PS3 being the only one that can bring true(?) 3D to the table, and I guess it is a badass 3D. Serious business.

And that badass 3D cannot be pulled off by the 360.

 



Guess it's time to switch the deomed o meter to 360 if it hasn't already been done haha. Wonder who's next on the chopping block.



I think your point of view is true... but as others are saying, just Natal will be not enought to MS...
But people... remeber... in 2 or 3 years... consoles will be embeded TV´s a HT´s... so... it will be like a feature... and going this way... X360 core still a lot valuable as ps3..



PSN: franco-br
MGS4, GH, MW2, GT5p, WipeoutHD, etc..etc..

Question: whats makes the PS3 more 3D capable than the 360
Answer: Nothing.

3D Xbox 360 games up and running at Ubisoft

James Cameron, director of hit movies Aliens, Terminator and Titanic, has revealed that Ubisoft has a 3D version of forthcoming title Avatar up and running on Xbox 360 consoles, reports Cnet.

The game is a tie-in to Cameron's 3D Avatar movie, due for release in 2009, and is anticipated to be one of the biggest films to make use of the new stereoscopic film projectors being fitted in US movie theatres.

"Stereo production is the next big thing," said Cameron during a speech as part of Microsoft's Advance 08 advertising conference. "We are born seeing in three dimensions. Most animals have two eyes and not one. There is a reason I think."

Cameron believes 3D will help games become more immersive, and he also suggested that displays for laptops, phones and Microsoft's Zune could go stereoscopic without special glasses.

"You are in the game," he said. "This is the ultimate immersive media."

Ubisoft announced last summer that it had acquired the rights to Avatar, with CEO Yves Guillemot suggesting the game would be a "unique interactive experience."
