Xbox360 a crumbling tower?

Article lists problems and weak spots of the xbox360. MS running out of strategies that could make it a dominate force and running out of old/cheap tricks that will take it so far. Thoughts........

I like how you add "cheap" tricks which isn't mentioned anywhere in that article... immediately making this biased.

I would say that the xbox 360 probably is crumbling in terms of sales and profitability for microsoft. In terms of the enjoyment the gamer gets out of it, i think it's getting better and better, but that isn't always good for the company trying to make money off it.

The trick of buying games that are supposed to be exclusive has become old and is a cheap trick when you can't depend on yourself to be innovative enough to bring more new games to the market. The article doesn't exactly say the word cheap but after reading the article thats what came to mind.

I wouldn't call it a crumbling tower: it is already fallen over. The PS3 created a major earthquake in 2007 and now 2008 with it's mega-bomb exclusives like AAAAE MGS4, with it's blu ray capabilities, firmware updates, and the mighty Cell processor. Jack and the Kaz-meister have knocked the 360 over like Godzilla. It's going to be hilarious to see how much the PS3 PWNs everything else in 2009 and 2010: grab some popcorn.Fart_Storm

thats why the 360 has outsold the PS3???

GTA4 was announced by MS back a few E3's ago and so was DMC4. FFXIII was announced this past E3 by MS.......Although some people will argue and say this game was not bought by MS but one thing that will guarantee that it was regardless of what anyone says is if Star Ocean becomes an Xbox360 exclusive.

So in other words you have no proof that MS actually paid for any of these games.

Uh...yeah..Bullet dodging isn't your strong point.

Again, where's the links to prove your statement?

MS paid for GTA4 DLC exclusive content and have probably paid for other things out there. Its just not everything is released to the public that goes on in the gaming industry and like I said if Star Ocean turns out to be a 360 exclusive than MS paid them off. Sorry it took so long but I had to switch to internet explorer to make the copy and paste of the link.

Are you refering to the extra DLC announced at E3 '07? If not, link me, Sally.

They paid for the extra content and its possilbe they could of paid for the game as well. Also, the point is that MS is copying off of people and not being innovative enough and its not just the games either. Here is another example: the full-scale plagiarism of the concept and design of the Nintendo Mii had many onlookers audibly laughing. It was not a comfortable moment.

No not possilbe its around been announced by Bill Gates that he will only give his kids a few million if that. He wants them to make their own way.

Why must cows justify there purchase of the PS3? Isn't posting idiotic threads of this nature showing your fear that microsoft has been crushing Sony. Oh wait thats a really in this round. Both are great machines get over it.atarigrad

You're obviously not here that much, as most of the time the threads here are pro-xbox.

If you are going to make an argument, back it up or prepare for total failure. You say "could have" now, but that's not what you said at first until you were called on your deliberate misinformation. When asked to name 3, you said "GTA4, DMC4, and I want to say FFXIII." I don't see any "could have" or "I suspect." Fission Mailed.

And MS is not copying off of Sony by landing any of those games. After all, Sony doesn't personally make any of the 3... that's why they are multiplat, see? When FF13 was exclusive, was Sony innovative, or was SE?

No not possilbe its around been announced by Bill Gates that he will only give his kids a few million if that. He wants them to make their own way.

Only because all the cows have gone into hiding due to massive damage. Backtrack 2 years ago, this was cow central.

You can but your wasting your time when it could be a couple billion. I say just put a gun to bills head and have him sign the contract to get the goods. Cause if I had access to it I wouldn't want just a home. I want an island, huge/nice multimillion dollar boat for the ocean, navy jet for fast travel, etc.....

He asked me to list 3 games and I did. There isn't a whole lot of info about what MS is buying and what they are not buying. Seeing as MS has paid for exclusive content and that plagiarism of the nintendo mii doesn't seem to bother their business ethics neither would buying a couple of games or paying off devs to get those games.
