This is exactly the reason I won't be buying any next-gen consoles. At least in the 90's people made their consoles to last.PokeCrysis
my PS3 has lasted 5 years, no problems.... and still has good exclusives coming out this year!

[QUOTE="Benny_Blakk"]

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]At least Microsoft never had to settle a class action lawsuit like Sony did Sony's busted console was so bad they went to court and they had to settle a class action law suit. I am sure though you will create some reason why it is not the same and Sony was not near as bad.

CanYouDiglt

PATHETIC!!! Microsoft's failure forced them to put up $4 billion dollars to cover their fault. Now we can't excuse any lapses on their part, but did ALL of SONY's lawsuit's since 2000 cost them even half that? Or even $1billion? How much did SONY's lawsuit settlement cost them?

Read "fail".

:-)

It cost them $2 billion and that was because Microsoft took responsibility and extended the warranty. Sony would not do the same with their broken hardware. They left it up to the customers to be forced to buy a new system or pay for repairs.

they were just trying to save their asses from lawsuits

I agreed with that 100% MS only cares about casuals.

Yeah like Sony after the bad made PS2, they got their act together and made the PS3 better. MS is going to do the same and make sure there are no hardware problems before releasing the console.

It has always been that way with Microsoft even with their other products. They have a consistent pattern when releasing stuff. This isn't news. I do agree it is going down the casual route but at the same time I do believe some of the stuff they make is unique and/or changes focus of gaming. Like making the 360 a multimedia box and introducing a new and improved live gaming scheme. But overall I got to admit they haven't been in the game much lately. :P

MS has only had one system before the 360 and it failed. 360 is 7 years old. So really, what you said only counts after MS has had a few more consoles.

[QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]

I don't know why people keep bringing up rrod.

You realize they fixed it for free like 3-4 years ago?

Is this still going to be talked about in 15 years because fanboys don't actually have good points?

Gue1

 

only an idiot lem in denial would forgive the RRoD (one of the highest failure rates in history), especially when M$ launched the console knowing that it was broken.    :o

 

Dude, do you even realize the scale of this? The fact that the Xbox is still in the market is a miracle.

My 360 broke but it was free to fix, same for Wii, yet my PS2 cost me over a hundred euro to get repaired and anyone I know with a broken PS3 is charged 160 euro to get repaired. Only an idiot Cow in denial would be happy to pay for repairs rather then get them done for free :?

not counting the 360 being the longest lasting console with no replacement announced in the history of gaming. 

lol, i swear there is like a switch in your heads that just gets turned off when the subject of the 360 comes up.
