After enjoying a less than impressive spike in sales, Xbox 360's weaknesses are starting to become more obvious:
1) In one week, the PS3 has just made up all lost ground Xbox 360 has gained during the last several weeks in Japan.
2) Gears of War 2 is the only exclusive AAA disk-based game on the 360. This is pathetic for a console that is 3 years old. Even worse, Gears of War 2 has scored lower than the first Gears.
3) RROD will soon become a major issue again. The 3 year warrantee will end soon. Real soon. The pain of having chosen the least reliable console ever made is clear. You will be on your own.
4) The PS3 has 3 more major AAA titles than Xbox 360: Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, and Bioshock. Apparently, with Valkaria Chronicals, the PS3 also has the best (highest rated--Metacritic, Gamerankings) JRPG as well.
5) Most TVs sold are now HD TVs, and the PS3 makes the most of an HD TV by offering HD gaming and HD Blu-ray movies.
6) Xbox 360 is trying to sell itself to the casuals. Unfortunately, this is like trying to sell a bad-tasting ice cream to an Eskimo. Xbox 360 lacks good casual games and require monthly fees just to play online. Most games are also 60 bucks.
7) The best HD game (highest rated) from Japan is MGS4, available only on the PS3. The best game from Europe- Little Big Planet and GTA4 are available on the PS3. The best game from America, Bioshock is now available on the PS3. So the PS3 has the best games from every territory. The same can't be said for Xbox 360.
8 ) Judging from vidoes shown, 2009, like 2008, seem to favor the PS3 over Xbox 360 again.
Thus, Xbox 360 has to face reality. It's best days are over. Gamers will soon know what it's like to buy the most unreliable console ever made.They have and will continue to see that the PS3 is the console to get for the most impressive exclusiving games.
