360 Has saved gaming! Admit it Gaming would be LOST Without the 360!!

Like it or not you have to admit that the 360 saved gaming. Just think about it for a second, lets say if the only 2 consoles out on the market was Wii and PS3, just imagine how downhill the gaming industry would go! I mean what a disaster, either choose between a Console with "cutesy" kid games with a motion sensing controller with no online multiplayer heavy games such as the Wii, or a overpriced console that has technology noone needs nor wants with hardly any games to play such as the PS3. Then you have the 360, a console with amazing online, amazing game line up, a console that churns out AA-AAA games almost on a monthly basis! Not to mention acheievment points and Xbox live arcade with all the greatest old school hits!!

I mean look at what Microsoft is acheiving with the 360. THey are giving us New IPs left and right and most of them are AA-AAA. Games such as Halo franchise, Gears,Mass Effect, Bioshock,Crackdown,Lost Planet, Skate, Etc!! If it wasnt for the 360 we would either be playing rehashed 20 year old mario and zelda games or 10 year old rehashed Final fantasy, MGS and Ratchet and clank games, while those games are great, MS is giving us NEW and Fresh stuff!

Sure Microsoft has its faults as does the 360 but you have to admit that Gaming would be a disaster without the 360!! The way I see it is like this.. The PS3 is the appetiezer before the meal, kind of teases you and holds you over for just a little bit, then comes the 360, its the whole nine yards lobster and all and the Wii is more like dessert. Sure people like the dessert and good appeteizers but people go out to eat for one main reason.. The main course I know that is not a great analogy but you have to admit its somewhat true. Without the 360 gaming would be lost.. pure and simple!

A great movie indeed, but I don't think that w/o the 360, all of gaming would seize. After all, the PS2 pretty much dominated last gen, so it would seem right that Sony could pick up the pace just fine.

Someone forgot the PC.

Still, 360 is hands down the best console atm if you are lucky enough to have one of the working ones. It didn't save gaming but it has given Sony the big kick up the backside they needed.

um your so wrong could u plz tell me that iff there was no xbox and there was only ps3 wouldnt devs focus on making more game sand taking advantage of that particular system???

Yeah because the PS2 was a pure sign of gaming about to die off. :roll:

The 360 didn't save anything.

then why are there gamers who dont own 360's???????iamshivy

cows/sheep/hermits:roll:

Well not rly,if Microsoft didn't take a shot at this generation all of it's games would goto the ps3,and it would probably end up being better as we'd have 1 power console and 1 casual console.

Most of the wars on gamespot is between ps3 and 360,so at least in term of gamers worlds,it would be better if the 360 never was.

I don't think it saved gaming, but it definately is going in a direction I like. XBL is a great service. More games need to really take advantage of XBL, the way Halo3 will, with it's many XBL integrated community features. Now that's fun.

I did not notice gaming was in trouble. Cause I was busy playing games.

No, it did not save gaming.

everything else about the 360 is the best out of the three. xXHackettXx

Yeah thats not true.

30% is bad enough let's not get carried away :P . Seriously though, I have a 360 and love it but saying it "saved" gaming is a bit of a stretch. I do however believe competition is good and don't want to see this race without any of the three. My son also has a Wii and I'm going to get a PS3 when the $399 sku comes out. Personally I think we're heading into a great time for gaming.

[QUOTE="xXHackettXx"] everything else about the 360 is the best out of the three. Cedmln

Yeah thats not true.

Out of the three it has the strongest and most diverse library of games right now.

(well it's came out earlier, but still)

Besides PC.

The 360 is a good console, with poor hardware quality. It hasn't done anything for gaming. The original PlayStation is a different story though, that saved console gaming.leejohnson7

LMAO. man you're an idiot. "The 360 has savd gaming" wow that was funny.KEM92

Onething I thank Wii for is that it slap Sony real bad for it's $599 price. One thing I thank Microsoft for is provided us hardcore gamers of better hardcore games even though there are mostly FPS. In other words, MS and Nintendo save us gamers and the video game industry for a possible Sony monopoly that will cause gamers a lot of money and developers too much stretch in budget to provide games and license fee.

[QUOTE="Areola54"]agreed. Wii is taking gaming down the tube and PS3 is not helping. Sony should get their act together[/QUOTE

i totally agree w/ u

No, TC.

360's a great system, sure. But saved gaming? No

Huh, I see the 360 as a shooter heavy console that sprinkles some other genres here and there, but doesn't do it frequently enough, caters to one small crowd that is fine with this lack of variety. Lets say you weren't a fan of shooters, first person or third, how many games would you own on the 360? In two years you'd probably not own a whole lot. 360 isn't saving anything, it's a console for one kind of gamer, a very passionate, if somewhat mislead gamer. I couldn't imagine ONLY owning a 360...VideoGameGuy

How about a gamer with A DIFFERENT TASTE is games;)

I for one, have no intention of owning more than one console (Wii or PS3) simply because the Xbox 360 has THE GAMES I care about. And its all I'll ever need, imo. Does that mean I'm a "somewhat misled gamer"?

Joke Thread?

If not /fail.

then why are there gamers who dont own 360's???????iamshivy

I don't know. They are missing out on a LOT of great games. Their lose I guess.

What do you think Nintendo fans and Wii owners have been saying the whole time? (no offense)

No one would know that, though--lemmings are too busy trashing sheep for liking different games.
