X360 Grittiness Console Ever

The PS3 has shown a little bit of grittiness this gen as well, but Im still saying the 360 is the grittiness console of all time. It started off as expected, a new system with vast improvements over its predecessor. Then the problems came and boy did they come hard. The RROD, the E74, the lack of HDMI for its first few years, monthly or annual fee for online play and more. The fans still were loyal and the machines kept selling. Its software sales have always been impressive and that is a credit to the loyal 360 fans worldwide. Can anyone recall a single month where (minus a major PS3 exclusive) the PS3 outperformed the 360 in the software sales departement? I cannot despite them always being comprable in hardware sales

What I am trying to say is the 360 could have easily gone the way of the dreamcast. A successor to a platform that only reached mediocre success and had problems right off the bat. It also took basically 3 full years for that problem to be a thing of the past and during that time where it could have easily been kicked to the wayside, the 360 stayed strong in hardware and software sales and people did not buy into the PS3 as sony (and everyone) thought they would. Now with all the issues a thing of the past and the 360 firmly planted in second place with another great year of games ahead, expect it to continue to scrap its way through 2010 as it has done every year prior in its existance

I mean every system has its ups and downs but why cant everybody be happy with there own system?

I agree 100 percent, and with the new vidoc of Halo Reach that will be the most anticipated game at E3. 2010 will be the year of the 360.

I must admit, I'm not exactly following this. Every game console has it's "loyal" fans so it's notsuprising to see "grit" by them, but MS would rather enjoy a name like "most stable console ever" (or something like that) over some the word used considering they would've made more money then. Grittiness holds no weight except to some fanboys (not trying to point fingers).

the xbox 360 is a Shi**y console,but its all about the gamess

its pethetic that ps3 cant even catch the worse hardware ever :P

btw i dont own a 360 anymore,i own a ps3 now,which is very disappointing.

time to buy a new 360.

Wait, what does this have to do with grittiness? Oh and it's grittiest. Superlative.

Grittiness console ever? :?

It's not rocket science to figure out why the 360 "survived" RROD, a free extended 3-year warranty.

Not grit or tenacity or any other random personality trait anyone wants to ascribe to an inanimate object...

And not fans of the hardware.

It's higher spec than the Wii, but lower cost than the PS3, releasing a year to a year and a half before either. I don't get why people are still enthralled in "the mystery" behind the current state of the seventh gen consoles.

It's a gaming console, not the Little Engine that could.

Also how is it in any way comparable to the Dreamcast?

This is just random. :/

Sorry, I had to laugh at that.

:lol:

To be honest, had the 360 not been plagued by the RROD, I think it's list of faults would be greatly shortened... and the cows wouldn't have and any reason to complain about it except for the fact that it stole all of Sony's games (save a few).

Grittiness? lol

It's a console.....
