Is there a reason to be an Xbox fan?

[QUOTE="iKINGBOBi"]

I have all 3 systems, and I grew up with Nintendo, Sony, and Sega. Both Sony and Nintendo have rich histories in gaming. Sony has talented devs and always come up with groundbreaking titles. I never hesitate to buy a Playstation console each gen cause I know I'll get quality titles. Nintendo has the characters we grew up with, however, Nintendo isn't what they used to be back in the SNES era. Nintendo seems to be afraid to push other franchises besides Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. However, they still have their own charm and I can see why they have fans. What has Xbox given us to remember besides Halo and Gears? I mean most of its good games are on PC. Halo is the only good game on 360 this year. Why isn't MS trying to create new and talented studios? It seems they only rely on Halo and Multiplats. Microsoft has like no characters to remember besides Master Chief:? When do you guys think MS will try to create their own legacy?

I almost threw up. Your logic is appalling.

Agreed.

well, the 360 does have more high scoring exclusives than the ps3 and just as many as the wii. only the pc beats them.

So, you're saying that5 games over the course of 6 years is being milked? One being a spin off not even made by Bungie and the other being an expansion pack? Seriously, when did a game become 'milked' once a franchise reaches over 4 games? And I'm not even much of a Halo fan. It's crap like this that annoys me. People seem to have the mindset that Halo has over 20 games already.

Well,Nintendo milk's their franchise's more than anyone.likeevery time i play a new mario game it feel's like the one before it.it get's old fast,especially mario party.But What they need to do is,Have Sony,&MS develope theyer own Super smash games.Each game could have sonic since he's whoredout all the time anyway.That right there would be reason enough to be a fan of any console!

Sure, if you're a fan of Shooters then yes. Xbox is full of great Shooters.

lemmings are in total denail.... what game has M$ made for you that was any good 1st party in over a year that didn't have the name "Halo" in it? What good is a 360 if you own a pc and a ps3?Midnightshade29

In the same way, I ask you what good is a gaming PC and PS3 when the large majority of titles that interest me on those two platforms are also on the 360?

Value, people. It's all subjective.

Out of curiosity, what would be your top 5 consoles? I think that this generation of consoles is pretty good. A lot has to do with online gaming. Yes, last gen had online gaming, but it wasn't as fully supported as it is this generation. And I may not own a Wii, but for what it's done for gaming I'd suspect that it could make it into a top 5 list. I know for certain that the SNES would be in my top 5. I'm not sure which consoles would fill the other 4 spots. I'm thinking that the PS1 deserves to be in there too though.Fumpa

• SNES (didn't own one, but it's a well known fact)
• PS2
• PS1
• N64
• Genesis
• Dreamcast (debateable)
• PC (OK, that doesn't count

I'm sure theres more but either I didn't own them or didnt think they were particularly good.

both Sony and Nintendo???, Sony intered the industry a little more than 10 years a go, and if anything Sony owes it's existence to SEGA

Sega entered the gaming business back in the 80's believe it was 1986/87 while sony entered the gaming market back in 1994/95...

I miss SEGA considering i had most of their systems like Master system, Megadrive,Gamegear, Nomad & Dreamcast, but surely Sony owes nothing to SEGA.. unfortunately both PS1 & PS2 destroyed SEGA's consoles in terms of support & quality/quantity as regards games libraries..

On topic:- I got a 360 last year mainly cause i wanted to play some exclusives which were available at the time + upcoming ones.. 360 has a great games library and that should be enough for people to get the console..
