[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="Odrec"] Yeah well, this is my opinion based on observations. I don't have the number of how Xboxes sales compare to peripheral sales (although I believe that is also in part because many people end up buying several Xboxes because they keep breaking up and keep the peripherals). Last I heard opinions are also welcomed in debates or not? Still nobody has proven me wrong either and everybody knows that 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' so I stand by my points.OdrecSo you admit to just using anecdotal evidence as a basis? Once again, that does not fly. Opinions are welcome...but unfounded, baseless statements being dressed up as facts and aforementioned anecdotal evidence are strictly prohibited from even the most casual of debates. You can't be proven wrong because all you are using to back up your claims regarding how MS has 'deceived' people are baseless statements that aren't (and cannot be) proven on your end either. You have yet to produce actual evidence, so this little discussion is not suitable for that timeless statement. Well as a basis of my opinion yes. I never stated that I was saying something more than just my opinion. I'm not a market analyst or anything. I don't like Microsoft as a company and that's because my experience with it tells me is not a company I can trust. So take it as you wish, it is still my opinion that MS constantly tries to deceive customers and sell their inferior overpriced products.
apparently you've seen any sony or apple products have you?

Putting "in my opinion" before an accusation does not make it valid.
thats the way competition works....this is the real world, it doesn't follow morales or ethics, it only goes by human nature. If The best way to make money is use someone else's ideas, then thats what will be done. One thing MS does that separates it from sony or nintendo is that MS actually cares about their customers and will do whatever it can to keep them. The RROD example...MS gave every xbox an extended 3 year warranty.....free repairs and free shipping. They take responsibility for their mistakes. On the other hand my gamecube crapped out on me after 2 years....and nintendo basically told me to screw off. To repair the console would cost about 10$ less than buying a new one lol.

unfortunately that's true and also almost led to another market crash.
Isn't this Eyezonmii?pyromaniac223Yep. I noticed this weeks ago. Their posting styles are a mirror image of one another. So, it looks like it'll only be a matter of time before he's banned again.
I understood it:P, the guy above my post didn't lol.[QUOTE="DeadMan1290"][QUOTE="garland51"]
What I'm trying to say is, you shouldn't be bashing any kind of system that a company puts out & not laugh or jeer about which system is in last place, or who's better, etc. It's very childish.

god i sure hope your not talking about me.
Nope, not you:PHahaha this guys a goon. Clearly he has some undermining issues and insecurities against the X360 that are far deeper than we could ever understandHow do you even sleep at night, when you knowingly spew out this drivel on an hourly basis?

How in the name of God do you know most people think that? The most basic rule of debating is to back up your claims with sources ot at least references to statistics. Microsoft is giving the CHOICE of making your 360 have all the bells in whistles of a PS3. But, guess what? Apparently, not alot of people want those extra bells and whistles, much less all of them, as indicated by comparisons between actual 360 units sold and the sales of the peripherals for it.cowgriller
first off, just because said that my 360 broke, i bought a new one and keep my hdd doesn't mean i'm everyone. it just meand it happened to me.
second, opinions are welcome in debates, so long as you can back them up with verifiable proof.
thrid, you have been proven wrong. several times by several people, myself included.
fourth, it's "lack of proof is not proof for lack of existence"
it 's happened to you and a few other thousand people, including myself.Why are you saying this? Why would you take the time to write this? What do your words even mean? What are you trying to accomplish?

Wow, this slanted rant lasted 9 pages?!
I blame the parents.:|
bez2083
it's easy to blame the parents, but it's easier to blame the game makers. :D can i offer you some hot coffee?
TC, why did you put so much time and effort making a pointless thread? I really don't care who did what first and who copied what. ALL COMPANIES DO THESE THINGS! Look at Xbox Live and PSN, PSN just about did everything Live did, but Live is stil progressing better. Do you know what will happen? Sony will do the exact same thing.
If an idea works well, why not use that idea?
MS saw good ideas, and tried to make a better version to make money and provide gamers with a better experience. Is that a problem? Head_of_gamesthis right here is the perfect non fanboyish answer
while I disagree with most of your statements, I can agree that the 360 is a faullty system plagued with the rrod and E74. Even the ps2 doesn't come close with its disk read error. Thats the whole reason why I bought a ps3
But you just posted :?. He made some points even though they may be a little too hard on MS. I think it would have been fair if he criticized Sony and Nintendo as well.K, when you guys read "By Slambo86" you should realize that it's not worth posting in.
Mr_Nordquist
MS gets far too much hate here in SW. Yes, they do overcharge for accessories and their online service, but at least they pump out quality games for the 360.
And you rip on MS for copying others, yet you forget that Sony does the same thing. Trophies? From who do you think Sony copied that off from?
Give them a break already.
I agree. Each company borrows ideas from each other. But Trophies only came about due to fans begging for an "Achievements-like system" for PS3 games (on the Playstation forums and blog. Other than that what you said is true. Sony and MS go through their share of hate and bashes. Depends on the time of season and when PRs speak I guess.MS gets far too much hate here in SW.

So basically, there should only be one console, because having more than one would be a heinous crime. You may not have directly said that, but it's the exact same principle...
And it gets incredibly tiring to hear people who don't understand how business works, and are ignorant of the fact that their own favored company does that very "crime"
[QUOTE="Head_of_games"]MS saw good ideas, and tried to make a better version to make money and provide gamers with a better experience. Is that a problem? Slambo86nope, but it is when your originally against it and criticize it...then later adopt it and call it your own. Just sick of seeing people think MS is this pioneer, company was built by cheating and copying ideas. Like how Sony criticized Nintendo for Motion Controls and then adopted it with the six-axis and now both sony AND microsoft are fully adopting motion controls to COMPETE with the Wii in a market that ISN'T interested in what Microsoft and Sony are shoveling?

Just like Sony.
[QUOTE="cowgriller"][QUOTE="Odrec"] So, since the Xbox360 with all the accessories needed to match what the PS3 can do alone is actually more expensive than the PS3 then we can say that the PS3, as a package, has a good price. Can we say then that MS would milk it's costumers when you need to buy Natal in order to play the games that use its technology? what about having to pay for online to play a very important part of most games now which is multiplayer. I mean you are paying the full price for the game and you have to pay extra to actually use all its features. More and more it seems to me that the milkage is happening in somebody else's barn here.Odrec
i know what your getting at and it's not going to work. the fact that one could go the store and buy a $200 xbox 360 that can play every game on it means that the accessories are optional and not needed. your trying to say that if you factor in the cost of the accessories that the 360 costs more than the ps3. that doesn't work. when a customer goes to a store and sees a $200 xbox 360 next to a $400 ps3 and notice that they share a vast majority of their library, they'll opt for the 360 because it's half the price.
I agree they will probably choose the Xbox but many of them would be deceived into thinking that they are buying something equivalent to the PS3, if then they decide they need wireless and a real HD and online and need to get batteries and a cooling system in the end they will end up paying more. MS managed to create the illusion that they are paying less but that's, quite simply, a lie.Please explain to all of us exactly how Microsoft deceive consumers or create an illusion!
Did they advertise features that were not included?
Do they list the wrong size of HDD on the box?
Do they falsely advertise on the box a wifi adaptor is included?
Please explain how MS 'deceive' consumers because to 'deceive' you have to make something up and I would like to know where exactlyMS have made something up lol. Please how have they deceived consumers?
[QUOTE="IronBass"]MS > Sony. 'Nuff said :Ptonitorsi
Are you wild guessing now? :roll:
A sony fanboy sees a oppertunity and assumes that tonitiorsi is actually serious, and bashes him for it. It's super effective![QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]If the 360 is so terrible, why is it beating the PS3 when the Wii managed to?OdrecIt's the same with Windows. The OS is crap but people keep buying it. If MS is good at something is in doing business.
No people buy it because they have no other choice, its called a monopoly man and thats what they've got planned for the gaming industry.

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]
So Sony never watched what someone else implemented and just copied them?
Nintendo came out with controller with shoulder buttons (SNES). PS1 debutes with shoulder button controller.
Nintendo introduces analog stick and rumble pack to N64 controller. Sony introduces the dual shock controller with analog sticks for PS1.
Nintendo unveils the motion sensing controller for the Wii. Sony which had 1st showed a boomerang controller for the PS3, later goes to the old design with sixaxis, and now these motion sensing sticks.What a short, short memory sony fanboys have :) :)

Don't expect a response to this post.
wow...who said sony never copied others? i even addressed that. God people can't read.So, if you "addressed that", why are you so full of outrage when MS copies, but not when Sony copies? After all, you never rant about Sony.
Again, your outrage is fake. You don't really care about any "morality" (or else you'd rant about Sony too), you just want to bash Microsoft.

what have they done this gen besides giving a more stable online system? Don't give me achievements, because its nothing but unlockables done last gen but in a different manner.
When the 360 debuted, memory cards, NO full HD, No built in wifi, NO new format, hdmi, no new controller, nothing....it was rushed garbage. Whats even funny, when sony debuted with the attitude of FULL HD, NEW FORMAT..MS laughed and then adopted the same thing and now look at the 360...you could rename the f'en Elite the PS3. (black, 1080p, bigger HDD, HDMI)
Now with the Wii motion controller/ new interface with Mii's and installation seen with some PS3 games, which MS laughed at early on....has them doing the same thing.
MS just sit back and watch, then later adopt it and call it there own (lol at natal). While sony isn't innocent on the deal, atleast..they were first to impliment full HD movies, new format, HDMI, and overall a more quality built console, concerning inbuilt features. There original idea was to do a full entertainment system and both Wii and PS3 stick out on there own...360 is the guy trying to catch up and stick out, desperatly. Both Ninty and SONY had a vision..which was reached...MS had none, but to rush out and try and just take ground on the console war...as with everything.
whats even worse is MS claimed Natal wasn't inspired by the Wii....LMFAO!
No wonder MS is so damn hated.
all this copying and critisizing...including the fact that the 360 is the most flawed peice of hardware (RROD)....is laughable. If it wasn't for there head start, (to gain that much needed support) they would have fopped so hard. MS know this, so thats why they rushed it. Priceless.
i'm done.

haaha i can say the same about ps3 i mean its ridge racccceeeeeer!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah pathetic and halo 3> killzone 2

TC was banned? Bout' time, now SW can be a little less prejudiced.[QUOTE="tonitorsi"]they're awfully defensive....they know its true. Love it how they stick to the NO arguement Diss comeback. They can't shoot my claims down. Amazing how many can't actually read, because i clearly stated sony does the same thing, ONLY that Sony have a vision and brought something to the table, unlike MS (concerning hardware)97%fans of the 360 forum came to this thread. >_______>
Why give a crap about something/someone you don't give a crap about. :roll:
