Why the xbox360 is not in trouble (soldier-pro).

1. It has the best games currently, and higher scoring multi-plats(based on avg review score).

2. It has the best upcoming titles in 07 (see IGN's E3 awards). This isnt really disputed. Even cows know they have nothing till 08.

3. Majority ofpeople dont have problems with their 360 hardware. I said majority, including me. And its not a bad thing knowing MS will take care of you for like, ever, if there is a problem.

4. Its still cheaper than ps3, and price dropping again soon.

I'd take 3 out of there and replace with something about LIVE...

Just because a system has great games does not mean it will win. Look at the Dreamcast that had many AAA games yet it still died. I am sorry I disagree with number 2 so it really is deputed. Number 4 they said the same thing last year and it never happened.HarlockJC

One of 360's big problems is that their worthwhile exclusives (which are usually FPS or Kotor style RPG) all end up on PC eventually. I'm more than willing to wait a year to play those games with a keyboard and mouse.

Additionally, while I agree that the 3 year warranty is great, what would your reaction be if your 360 broke the day after your 3 year warranty expired? Would you be happy that microsoft provided full coverage for 3 years even though you never used it, and now that it's broken and out of warranty it's time to buy a new one, or would you feel a little burned knowing that it was a well documented problem that was never truly recalled or fixed?

Majority can be 51%. Defective 360's are 100%. Broken 360's are in the 30-40%.

So you're just lucky you didn't pick the 360 beside the one you picked up, because that one is broken.

doesn't seem to be helping as much as it should.

Even cows know they have nothing till 08

.....wtf? Cows have an awful lot before 08. Besides sharing some of 07'sgreat gameswith the 360, COD4, Assassin's Creed, GTA4, they have a raft of their own exlusives, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet, Uncharted, Lairpossibly also Warhawk with Liitlebigplanet and MGS4 releasing Q1 for 08...cows have a lot to look forward to.

All I care about is the great games I have been able to play over the last year since I bought one. I got the 360 to basically kill time with until the PS3 had more reasons to own one, who would have thought that those reasons have still not shown up at the party.

I have a guy that wants to trade his PS3 for my Wii straight up and I seriously don't know if I'm going to go through with it.

I agree. My PS3 is still collecting dust since launch last year. Hopefully Lair will change that......... hopefully. As for the trade, I say go ahead. I consider the Wii far inferior to both the X360 and PS3 (in terms of both hardware and games). Atleast you'll get to play Heavenly Sword and Uncharted (good titles coming this year for the PS3).

3. Majority ofpeople dont have problems with their 360 hardware. I said majority, including me.s0ldier69

So don't try to put the 360's hardware issues in a positive light. There is no positive light. The system is failing at an acceptable rate, pure and simple.

Oh, and 2 is subjective and 4 is a rumor. Your list needs some work.

We know its not dying, its just die-hard cow fans thinking that thier timed-pricedrop and "little" bad news for Microsoft is a massive turning point :lol:Meu2k7

Dont forget. Every 360 is doomed to fail to include my launch unit.... :lol:

No one ould be happy if their 360 broke, regardless of when, but you do have to admit that 3 years is the BEST in the industry!farrell2k

The warranty is a consolation prize, really. Yeah, you don't have to pay, but your 360 is still dead.

I hope you dont view life like that as well. Knowing that at any minute your heart could stop beating and I dont know of any warranty that covers life after death... :shock:

1) yes but the ps3 is not even a year old yet and its getting alot of games now

2) PS3 has tons of great titles and saying it has the best is ur opinion, and yes the ps3 has 08 owned so far

3) everybody is going to have hardware problems. its an issue and if it hasnt happened to you it prolly will.

4) the price isnt dropping anytime soon

#4 is just plain stupid. Even if the 360 had a 49.9% failure rate, the "Majority" would still not be having problems with their console. When is that failure rate unacceptable? When it surpasses 50%?

I bought a new car a year ago. GM offered a 7 year, 100,000 warranty. Toyota only offered the standard 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty. Can you guess which manufacturer got my business? Toyota, because they don't have to offer that kind of warranty. Sure, just like with the Xbox, I had a far longer warranty option with the GM vehicles. If something went wrong, I was covered. But that also tells me that they HAVE to offer than kind of warranty because their products are poorly engineered. Same with the Xbox. That's why I traded in my 360 for a PS3.

I'm thinking that I really don't give a rat's ass if my Gamespot posting priveledges are suspended or revoked. I'm an adult and the only reason I post messages on here is to kill time at work. If I can'twaste time here, there are only 17 million other sites on the web where I can waste time. My sig is honest, and if the mods don't like it, they can eat one. It's really pretty simple.

All the People who own PS3's can only ever come up with the failure rates. Sad when i've known no one who's 360 has failed :)housy2008

These sort of anecdotal stories about how people don't know anyone whose box has died have lost whatever little relevance they had with the official microsft announcement that yeah, alot of boxes have died.
