What is the secret behind this odd machine with RROD, old media format, and normal controller.... i mean there nothing special .there is no Blu-ray, TEH cell or all this blah blah futuer things that ps3 provide. so how did this old gen crap survive the new tech and the past glory from sony, or even the sales monster WII and its revolutionry wiimote.. man x360 dont have a motion controller at all even ps3 have one...

I will tell you the secret: THE GAMES.... oh yeah ..the games and tons of games ...not only normal game but real first class games... WII games are NOT a real games : the real game contain: a mature movie like story , action, HD graphics, ... etc. Now I can find this in MGS4. uncharted. Bioshock. COD4. DMC4, GeoW,Cryises, Halo3, and even in SOME RPG's ...etc. the WII games contain: jumping, and collecting... and MEH ...and yes LBP is A WII LIKE GAME. in my book WII is made for kids and for fun seeker adults...

WII can provide an ultimate fun. but its not for gamers for sure.

Sony used to make gaming consoles .and now they TRYING to make a home movie player PS3... and NOT even trying at all to make a gaming console PS3... face it sony you dont have much games this gen and you got cornered by X360 new price slash and only Killzone and MGS4 cant make you win this gen.... its over Microsoft console is 100% not perfect. But its A GAME console.. not an extreme multimedia console like PS3 or a fun console like WII.. they build it for games..all kinds of games. and all types of gamers.microsoft is putting a real effort to make thier console a better GAMING console day after day. make it cheaper so all gamers poor or rich can jump and play.. i got RROD once but i stick with x360 cuz i couldnt find a better console ( i already have a ps2).

But every PlayStation has been a multimedia machine and not "just" a games machine. And the 360 is also a multimedia machine with the movie downloads and Netflix. You seem to be suggesting that Nintendo and Sony aren't trying to get games on their consoles which is just.........*facepalm*

The only reason its sold so much more is because it came a a year early.

I love cinematic games too, but games "just for fun" aren't to be ignored. It's kinda insane to mock a GAME for being FUN....

I hate when my games provide me with hours and hours of fun... I mean, I don't know what I'd do if they did that. I love my boring old, non fun, xbox 360 :)

Alright, you have an opinion, I have mine. Remember, MS Xbox 360 tried with the HD-DVD drive, and it gave way to Blue Ray. Alright, now, MS requires fees for online play even after the console fee. Not only that, the money is paid to Microsoft when Live is played on games created my mostly non-Microsoft companies. I don't know, but you seem to make a overly biased argument. Everyone deserves an opinion though and I respect that.

The real difference: MS's bottomless pit of money. Fanboi all you want but deep down inside we all know that MS made it with a 1 year advantage, extreme marketing and **** of money.

people forget that the ONLY..i mean ONLY reason the 360 has more quality games is because it LAUNCHED BEFORE the competition, it had almost a year in the market with no competition, devs had no choice, but to jump on the platform and make there next gen games...same goes with the PS2 and it's success. Its nothing to do with the magic of the 360, lol. MS just did a good business move. to bad it cost them, leading to RROD issues, due to the fact that they needed to rush out to achieve it. but heres the thing, even with the 360's HEAD start, it still kinda poor sales wise, and i honestly expected much more. Most likely thanks to the Wii and SONY name...it has stole a lot of sales, because both those companys have made some better moves..here and there. that being said the 360 is a great console hardware wise and software-wise, no doubt about it.

Despite the truly bizarre nature of this thread, this much is true: it must be the games that make 360 so popular, cuz it sure as hell isn't the ultra-reliable hardware, on which they're played...

Erm actually you need to do some research, its not because it was firts. Sony could have easily got developers to make games 2 years prior the launch. You need to do some homework son. Face it 360 is much better tham PS3!

LOL judging by your spelling and the word "son" your some 12 year old red bull drinking bloody thirsty xbox fanboy. If you think the early foot into the market played NO part in the gaining of those titles, then your in serious denial. Sony can't force developers to make games for there console 2 years in advance, LOL. The 360 at the time was much more attractive and ONLY available HD console, with many developers wanting to be the first to show of there titles. Common sense, Get some. now please SIT DOWN.

I agree the PS3 really has zero games that are worth playing. Now cows will say different but look at what they liked before, crappy PS2 stuff, so they really don't know better. Its sad really.

Another thing, that darn DS3 controller is such a dinosaur and that is the BIGGEST reason I'm not buying a BluRaystation 3 yet,I need a BluRay player but I might as well get a secondary console for those MGS like games I guess.

Xbox 360 is overall the best console ever. I never got RROD and I own two consoles,that should double my odds too huh.

The games are best on 360, all of them anything you may think is not is just wishful thinking or "fuzzy math".

Wii is just an obamanation to gaming, when old ladies, old man and soccer moms want one that means you suck as a serious gaming platform.

And the PS3 is not what it was made out to be and in the end it is a failure...gigaflops :lol:

*cough*

Counter-opinion: 360 has no games worth playing. Xbox was complete crap last gen. 360 will never be as popular as PS or PS2. But "xboys" don't know better.

Fact: 360 controller has horrible d-pad. P$2 will has solidified itself as a legend and NO console will never be as big a hit.

Why do you own two if you never had RROD? You are obviously wooried about some kind of hardware failure. People don't own two of the same console unless they are in two different homes.

Wii murdered the 360 in sales. So now it is fighting a useless battle over 2nd place.

Microsoft once again failed.

A) Can i see your crystal ball.. B) Opinion doesn't equal facts C) Just because you never got a RROD doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist D) your a fanboy E) NO ONE will take you seriously. F) putting a smiley at the end of your post doesn't make it look superior.

The real secret is splitting the cost of a 500$ console out over the generation.  Any 360 owner who wants full access to their games has to pay a 50$/year access tax, so the consoles end up having a similar base cost at the end of the generation.

 Microsoft recognized that most Americans are barely literate, and even worse at math and finance, and planned their strategy around that.  Judging by the global console distribution, I'd say it was a good plan.
