The PS3/360/Wii are no longer "current gen" consoles now that the Wii U has launched. 360 fans didn't make that up, that's how it's always been.

• Going casual
• Using the DVD
• Using a non-upgradeable hard drive
• Stupid battery design for the controller
• Xbox Live fees
• Awful dashboard UI

• Biggest Failure rate in the History of the Industry
• Terrible Hardware
• Old junk Disc Tray that scratches discs
• Outdated DvD format
• Forced and failed the Format War rendering HD DvD a useless paperweight
• Paid online fee's, the biggest rip off scam in the history of mainstream gaming
• Raising Live fee's
• Constant nickel and dime mentality
• Ads all over a paid service
• Controllers run on batteries
• Overpriced Proprietary Acessories
• Focus on Timed Exclusive contracts instead of exclusive games
• Leaving Core gamers behind and going casual
• Kinect Focus
• Second half of the generation almost no games released apart from multiplats/kinect/arcade games

Now that I think about it the 360 really did fail hard this gen. As soon as the PS3 released it was all downhill for the 360.

I dont think they made many mistakes bar the rrod and to be fair they introduced the 3 year warranty to cover it. They trebled the amount of consoles they sold from the previous generation, made a sizeable profit and made xbox live a known/brand name outside the gaming community. In my opinion the 360 should now be £99 for the 4GB model and £139.99 for the 250GB model. I would have liked to see more new quality IPs from Microsoft to be honest but to even remotely claim the 360 was a failure is, well failure itself.

If they announce the new Console at CES 2013, promote at E3 2013 for launch next November/December I think they have a great chance to win next generation.

Oh Eddie and his tryhard ways. :lol:

So adorable.

On topic: Of course the 360 didn't fail. It nearly tripled its predecessor's install base, has the best games library on a console in terms of quality and quantity, has created the best console online gaming service that Sony and Nintendo are still playing catch up to and has made the Xbox brand a household name.

Fanboys will try as hard as they can to paint the 360 as a failure but anyone in the real world can see through their delusional ramblings.

There biggest mistake is easily the RROd stuff. Outside of that however the 360 has been great for pushing the xbox brand. The xbox brand is huge not only in gaming but in all media entertainment right now. FPSfan1985

It's considered 2nd party. Like the original Halos.FPSfan1985

These threads are getting annoying.

It started this gen in 1st place (lems count it when other systems arent out yet), to 2nd, to last.

What was its biggest mistake?

Xbox sales: 24 million

360 sales 70+ million

Yes, the 360 failed...:roll:

By that logic, the Dreamcast was a success seeing that it sold more than the Saturn. I like how Lems try to use previous gens to make PS3 look b@d and make 360 look good.To determine a consoles success you have to look at its games, infulenece, and sales milestone. The truth is both PS3 and 360 are a success.As you can see with the Wii,1st place is very overrated and doesnt make your console any better. No console has ever got by on its name alone, so bringing up the past Playstations to downplay PS3s successful comeback is bad damage control considering PS3 came later with more obstacles.

insomniac has yet to make 360 game yet lol they're part of second party now.checkoff
