If it is indeed a piece of crap, many people out there are enjoying the mushy feel of the controller in their hands and the muddy visuals on their screens. ...... Oh wait! The visuals aren't muddy at all. And I wasn't aware that a piece of crap could harness such power and bring me and many others so much fun. Lol

The massive 3rd party support makes it impossible for X360 to leave anytime soon. What will be intresting is what will happen when they release their next hardware. If they still have not turned a profit.....lol, I don't know that doesn't sound good being in the red for 8-10 years.

[QUOTE="dethroned3"]XBOX 360 is a piece of **** console. some of the games are good, but the hardware itself is worse than ****daytona_178

hahahaha, wel the hardware itself has prooven to be as good as the ps3's and some are fautly but the new flacon versioin will hopefully osrt that out!

Some = over a billion dollars to fix? Some = extending the warranty to an unprecdented 3 yr warranty? Some = Moore getting fired....err I mean leaving for a better job :roll: ?

Please stop minimizing the extent of this problem. This could basically ruin the X360 chances of winning this gen. Anyone trying to pass this off as just "some X360's are faulty" are delusional.

The Dreamcast died becauseSega ran out of money to support it. Microsoft isn't exactly short on funds.

The 360 is like a Dreamcast that didn't fail. They are actually quite similar (big lead, hard-core focused, online-focused).

[QUOTE="Ragashahs"]360 ain't going now where true it does feature alot of thing that made DC fail but again 360 has alot of upcoming support for years to come(which DC didnt' have)peacebringer
What did MS say at E3? all the games we are showing you this year are coming out this year. they havn't shown anything for 08, PS3 on the other hand has. MS is doing what Dreamcast did, put all of it's killer titles early to try to get a jump on the customer base. It's gonna fail the 08 is gonna be horrible. thats when MS will do even worse. Heck even Wii announced 2 killer apps for 08(Wiifit and Mario Kart Wii) MS isn't showing anything cause they don't have any answers. 08 will be a huge Multiplat year for 360. While Sony will get Multi and Exclusives from it's own Studios. MS has it's own Studios but there games are coming out this year wich means 2 years before they will finish the next project.

RE5 isn't 08? Fable 2? The next Soul Calibur? What are you talking about? Even if they hadn't announced anything for 08, don't you think it's because they had so much to mention about this year? Really, this is a silly and false thread. You're confused.

There are only 2 ways the consoles can be compared.

1. Both are great

2. Both had a jump start

I'm going to list only one difference between the 2 and it's the difference that shows how silly this thread is. The Dreamcast's competition came and killed it. The 360's competition came and the 360 outsold them. It's still in the lead. It has survived what killed the DC and is still going strong.

Don't get Mad Lemmings, the Dreamcast had a Amazing Start(Shemue,NFL2k,Skies of Arcadia to name a few) but After 2 years it just died out due to Super Popular PS2. On SW lemmings might have us Outnumber but outside in the real World people do not wany an Xbox console.

Last Gen MS came late , this time them being early is worse on them since it's already looked at as the Old console, no one thought the Dreamcast would die so fast with a killer Lineup(an even Better lineup than the PS2 for PS2's first full year) so the 360 has better games arguement is mute, People Assume the PS will get great Games and Purchase it. the Failue of 360 in Japan and Peter Moore leaving MS , 360's bad rep for durability will end up making the 360 a dead console way before this Gen ends.. After this Xmas i see the 360 falling off the Console war. Just like the Dreamcast.

P.S just get a PC Lemmings, they don't break, get the games you like to play, has killer Online. Why own the Poor mans PC when you can save up and buy a PC.

peacebringer

If you mean MS going out of gaming business because of money troubles then this thread fails.
