Reality check for the lemmings

The XBox 360 is about as reliable and well built as a launch PS2 The online service is overexpensive and looks like crap next to Home The core and elite systems are crappy wannabes of the Wii/PS3 respectively no-one is buying the machine outside of the US/UK Even in the USA (it's strongest market) it's being outsold by failing handhelds like the PSP Still my favouite console of this gen so far , but i thought it needed to be saidNorthlandMan

There are some reliability issues, which MS has ponied up better warranties and refunded many gamers their $140 repair fees back and extended warranties.  The 65nm will eliminate the problem and in the mean time they fixed it on the Elite with better epoxy around the CPU and GPU chips so they do not warp off the mobo. 

Why are cows so hyped about Home?  Its simply a rip off of Sims to navigate online.  Also you should not complain about LIVE being over expensive and then defend PS3, makes you look like a flatout fanboy.

LAstly do not talk about X360 having poor sales in the same sentence as PS3.  82,000 units sold in April is absolutely horribly bad......./rant

good bashing and a$$ kissing at the same time, u basically said the 360 sucked but its still ur favorite, nic job. 

SORRY mates never was into the "SIMS" and won't be for another PS3 Port (home/house w/e)

when it comes to 360 not selling well out of the US/UK NO SH** Like japanese are going to buy an american console after HEROSHIMA, 

Enough said, 360 is great online whilst i will always be a bigger fan of PC, sorry PS3 no matter how much i grew up with PS/PS2 it hasn't really brought itself up to par, i like my PSP over a PS3 anyday, sadly the only game you can say you have that noone else does is MGS4 and Killzone 2 otherwise 360 has been taking over teh market hence the loss of All of Sony's exclusives,

 HENCE SONY'S STOCK GOING DOWN IN PS3 SALES

QUOTE="HuusAsking"] 3. I don't see people waiting in line for a PS3, do you? At least the 360 still sells well, and its flagship title is still months away. NorthlandMan

WHO ISNT LOSING TO THE WII??????

thats the sad part, even the japanese are upaset about there own console.

its like having north korea watching south korea take over the market just so sad for these 3rd world countries getting their as**s handed to them by a company that promotes "TOUCHING IS GOOD"

you're forgetting somethings

-it has games better in every way over the ps3
-you get the choice, not forced to buy one model

do you know that you can buy a BMW just paying $250 a month?

that means, just becuase you are paying this small amount in a month, it doesn't mean that thing cost less. it adds up, you know.

ok.. how about this comparison, you can buy a laptop just paying $20 a month.

[QUOTE="NorthlandMan"]and that excuses the high failure rate? EGM recently confirmed that 75% of their XBoxes have red ringed. that's indefensibleHuusAsking

Yeah, they are never serious on the 1UP Yours Podcast. They were just making up a percentage on the spot.

Xbox 360 had problems at launch...The issues of new batches of 360 consoles are minimal now. 

PS3home is free...until you decide to buy something for your online crib.  Microcharges...yes. 

Elite sold 67K in its 1st week.  PS3 sold 82K in the last MONTH.  Elite is doing fine. 

PSP is not a failing handheld.  It has sold over 20 million.  It just seems like a failure next to DS.  20 million PSPs sold is not the sign of failure...and it is the only true handheld competitor that Nintendo has had to face. 

You phail

There's simply too much ignorance in this thread. I can't even think of a response.project343

And yet you decided to post an equally creative response, job well done.

I think we should put this debate off until next year, the war has just begun.

Online service is great, $90 isnt much compared to games.

Cool?

Nobody is buying the ps3 inc Uk/US

No such thing as lemmings.

Didn't have to be said since thousands before you have dribbled the same crap.

Peace out with your psp!

What have i learnt from this post? You Need a reality check my friend. 

Thanks!

So you say it isnt selling outside of the US and UK. you realize that those 2 are the #1 and #2 gaming markets in the world?

when everyone in the US/UK buy a xflop and then find out what piece of garbage they bought then the tide will turn.

see the US/UK rank 1 and 2 in suckers.

1) So they are doing well in the 2 largest markets, and this is bad?  So is the PS3 is selling like gangbusters in India?     

2) Handhelds traditionally outsell consoles... OF ANY BRAND. 

3) Live isn't about looks... it's about functionality.

4) The 360 doesn't 'want to be' anything other than the 360.  

The 360 does have a high failure rate though... that's undeniable.     

people wont even be talking about xflop360 at the end of the years... lemmings will be crying by thene20Dylan

Since there's no such thing as an Xflop360, I can agree with you.

But the Xbox 360 is gonna sell like hotcakes this holiday season.
