How long until Xbox goes bust again?

I'm not talking about Microsoft, they'll never go bust, I am talking about the game console of Xbox 360. I am sure the console will only last another 2 years at max until the PS3 is miles ahead.

I was an Xbox 360 owner a couple of years ago, I didn't rate the console that highly. Many faults it had, including chewing up game discs, red ring of deaf, sounded like a hair dryer, overheated, build quality was very cheap, didn't come with a charger kit for the controller, no usb, no built in blue ray or hd player, no bluetooth, no web browser, no vid zone, no free online membership unlimited.

I've now got a Playstation 3 and I can honestly say that I was deluded into thinking the Xbox 360 was as good as the PS3. No way, not a chance! The PS3 doesn't have to look back with such a lead, until you xbox fanboys stop being biased and see the light you'll realise that the PS3 is just something quite special.

Sony has so much more class than Microsoft. Technology wise nothing beats Sony, they care about their customers and they have made the console as perfect as can be so it doesn't break down and can offer a lot of entertainment!

As for games, PS3 has best exclusives by far. MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Infamous

Don't call me biased, this is a 100% none biased review, that's my honest truth! Xbox 360 fans, sell your console and buy a PS3 I'll guarantee you'll enjoy it much more. Also stop deluding yourselfs, Halo is the most overrated game ever!

NEVER.

Xbox Live alone makes so much raw money that this will never happen unless M$ wills it to happen.

lol

"Don't call me biased"

You lot have already started. It is God's honest truth that I use to own an Xbox360, you can trust me on that one. I got to admit there were some good exclusives, my fave being Gears Of War.

I just don't agree with Microsofts attitude towards their customers. When my 360 got the ring of death I did send it out to them and got 1 month or something free of online play but it took a month to recieve my 360 back from Microsoft.

I also use to have the original Xbox, then bought a ps2 and soon after the xbox was sold. The Ps2 was leagues ahead. Metal Gear Solid 3 was such a good game and there were so many good exclusives that now the 360 are starting to share with Playstation.

I didn't see the fuss with Xbox live, what can you do on there that you can't on Playstation 3 online?

Just look at the advantages PS3 has over the 360, pretty much everything apart from Gears Of War 1 & 2

I smell Shenanigans...I have an extremely hard time believing that you owned a 360.

STurn21

Same. I think the "No USB" part is what sold me.

I find it quite amusing that the xbox 360 has "red ring of deaf... no usb". Lol that alone makes me wonder wheter you have ever seen a xbox 360 let alone owned a xbox 360. Next point: "The PS3 doesn't have to look back with such a lead" LMAO. According to what, your little world with it's own rules and sales figure? Last time I checked (right now :P) here's what the sales are: 1)Wii-53.47M 2)Xbox 360-32.10M 3)PS3-24.55M Link (as much as I hate using vgchartz but this is the most updated sales i could find). So there's goes another one of your points. "As for games, PS3 has best exclusives by far. MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Infamous... Halo is the most overrated game ever!" Seriously, games are opinion but I dont think many people (except cows) are gonna think that Resistance 2 is better than Halo. Never gonna happen. "Don't call me biased, this is a 100% none biased review" ROFL Did you even take the time to look at what you wrote prior to adding this point in?
"I didn't see the fuss with Xbox live, what can you do on there that you can't on Playstation 3 online?" Really?? Here's just a few things you can do on XBL that you can't on PSN:
1)Cross game chat (I dont care if 3.10 has it, as of writing this, you can't do it on PSN)
2) Netflix
3)Party system
4)Avatar and avatar clothing (yes you kinda have a different version with home but then...it's home)
5)1 vs 100
Here's what your gonna be able to do soon on XBL:
1)Facebook
2)Twitter
3)1080p instant streaming

No usb, then what the heck am I'm plugging my wired controller and converter to?

why do i doubt you owned a 360?also a wii. you are wrong on so many points, but i'll only list a couple. 1. ps3, best exclusives?you do know most people agree the wii has the best (and best review scores) exclusives, right?look at super mario galaxy. halo IS NOT the most overrated game ever. its far better than resistance, thats for sure. if anyone is delusional here, its you.

NEVER.

Who said low res vids lagg? If yours lag it's due solely to your crappy connection.

And I used PS3 browser for the first couple weeks after I bought it. It was a somewhat cool little gimmick, but a gimmick none the less.

I wouldn't call the web broser a gimmic, it's useful for me, check the news and football scores, watch bbc iplayer. I'd call facebook and twitter on 360 more of a gimmic

RROD isn't really a problem for those who own the Jasper models. It doesn't even get that hot when you play..even if you play for 5-6 hours.

For the rest it's a matter of what games you like. if you are a MGS or UC fan etc, then of course you'd wanna buy a ps3. If you prefer Mass Effect, Halo etc.. then you buy a xbox 360.

both are good systems, but i prefer the xbox 360 because of the online service and the better multiplats ( which are 90% of the games anyway )

so I don't see your point, really. I even like playing with the Wii and Ds. quit being prejudiced, it's not like you're rooting for your fave football team here.

what is LMAO ??

no usbarmanicode

to answer your original question, how long until xbox goes bust again? (grammar check yourself next time). I'd say it'll bust a year or less after Xbox 3.

also PS3 sucks! 360 is AWESOME. I've never played the ps3, but i'm not biased.

lol get real. I own ps3 and 360, they're both amazing. But it is system wars so 360>ps3. slightly.

what is LMAO ??

100% unbiased...that' good...wow that was the best laugh I had all day. Good job. Did you actually read over what you wrote. Jack Tretton is not biased either you are in good company...lol.

I'm all for you having pride in your system. PS3 is a good system but seriously give it up. the 360 is not going anywhere anytime soon. I have both systems (and a Wii) and both are great in their own ways. Is the 360 perfect nope...is the PS3..nope.

You've got to get over the Halo thing, it really is the first step to recovery.I personally am not a big fan of Halo 2 or 3 but there are alot of people who are so it must be doing something right. Oh and you forgot no built in Wi-fi for the 360. You will be banned from the PS3 fanboys club for forgetting such an important fact. Keep up with the list it is only posted on here at least 100 times a day.

In a matter of personal opinion, I'm glad the 360 controller doesn't have a rechargable battery pak on the back of it like the PS3. Rechargeable batteries cost about $4 for 4 AA batteries. I always have a fresh set ready to be popped into my controller and I don't have to worry about forgetting to tether my controller to my system so it can recharge. Even better when the rechargeable batteries do wear out I just grab some new ones alot cheaper than replacing the pak on the back of a PS3 controller.

Well gotta go feed my 360 it's daily dose of DVD. It's hungry, it hasn't chewed up a CoD disc since last night...hope it doesn't try to eat me when I sleep...

Just so people don't take it too seriously. Both of my 360's sit horizontal, and neither has ever messed up a disc, not even a small ring.

Microsoft have already won and Sony doesn't realise it yet.

The whole point of propping the Xbox 360 still,is merely as a vehicle to improve and promote xbox live. Why do you think so much groundwork has been laidin XBL for downloadable games and media content already.

Microsoft's whole goal is to changethe goalposts in gaming, so they can control the market. While Sony lose billions sticking to their same costly hit and misseconomic model.

All Sony can do is play catch up with Xbox Live next gen.
