Xbox360 is not the All American console, it's balls are British.

I commonly read on this forum that Xbox360 is the American-ites home console. While similtaniously from the same group understand that it is games that matter, not hardware sales.

Xbox360's front line is British. It's highest rated game is Great British, and it's frontline first party developers (Rare, Lionhead) are British game developers. The actual hardware is made in China.

The purpose of this thread is just to gain a little recognition for the Home Team (I'm posting from Gamespot UK, we have a secret forum on this website) and just to state that We invented videogames, and were still in the forefront of videogame development. Booyeah!

Go team! To celebrate, here is some music by a British Band you might recognise. lol. Sorry cows.

Hey tony! how did you sleep at night,Wario land shake it got a 7.5,remember you were saying "Wario land shake is gonna own LBP (56k)" XD

A look at Wikipedia will tell you that the earliest video game was invented by an American in 1948, and the first coin operated, commercially sold video game (in other words, the real father of all video games) was made by an American.

Where are you getting your info from?

Nothing against the Brits, I love the UK, but your info is just completely wrong.

And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why it's considered an American console. Nintendo and Sony have plenty of American developers, it has nothing to do with developers. It has to do with where the parent company that actually made and invented the console is based.

Honda has plants here in the US (more Honda facilities than anywhere else, including Japan) and many Honda cars are made here, but there's a reason Honda isn't considered an "American" car. This site has lots of British users and users from other parts of Europe but there's a reason it's considered an American site (it's based in Cali.)

That being said, I couldn't care less what the console is considered. I wouldn't care if the 360 was considered Indian (and I do love Rare and Lionhead.) I only care about the quality of games, don't care where they or the hardware that plays them comes from.

what about EPIC? Bungie? MS Games Studios?

Also, considering Canada is our 51st state, I'm claiming BioWare on behalf of America.

Canada is a Commonwealth Nation mate. Britain has more claim to Canada than America.

Canada is our hat, and you can't have it. Our large frozen hat.

We'd be a Commonwealth nation too if we didn't have the balls we did 200 years ago.

That being said, it isn't a "British" console for the reasons I listed in my post. Not that I care, I don't play it simply because I was born in America. The Jaguar was an American console, and holy Hell was it terrible. I'd like it just as much if it were a French console (well, maybe not French, but British - sure.)

I do like England though, been to London on vacation years ago. Friendly people, haven't been to any other countries in the UK though. I'd like to see Scotland one day.

Yeah dude, USA loves GB and GB loves USA. Were totally appreciative of each others culture. I didn't really mean to say it was a British console. I was talking about first party developers.

heh, i know many GB citizens that would absolutely disagree with you. from working there for over a year i got a good taste of how much your general british citizen loathes the good old US of A. i don't think i met a single person in the EU that had something nice to say about americans come to think of it. just glad i'm canadian and had the flag on my backpack while travelling.. some bars refused to serve us until they knew we were canadian and not american... but i'm sure there are some more tolerant folks - just my personal experience.

Microsoft is an American company, and that is where it gets its identity, for the most part. Since MS makes 360, 360 is said to be American.

Almost all electronics are made in China, but we don't say that the PS3 and Wii are Chinese. And many developers for both are also western, yet they are still called Japanese systems.

i'm british and i really like my american cousins, they make hardcore games with lots of guns and fighting and stuff, plus they fought and died alongside us in 4 wars now and they gave us free nukes (trident) and to top that they speak our language ,where you working in wales by any chance? cos they don't like anyone who ain't welsh.i also like the canadians ,the aussies, south africans and newzealandersdelta3074

like i said, obviously some people aren't disrespectful and somewhat ignorant. i just happened to meet a ton of people that were, especially in greece. mind you this was during the kosovo conflict and tensions were quite high.

No... Being British I can say that the 360 is very un-British, it just appeals to all the casuals out there and has a narrow scope of games. It's a jack of all trades and a wizard of none.

It's probably the PC to the serious gamers in Britain.

Impossible, the United Kingdom is only a myth.

That is why I left system wars. So much ignorance in this thread; so now people are saying that Epic is better than Rockstar North, and Crytek is American.... rofl... whatever dudes. This is dry.

MS is a American company the rest just work for them plus Gears and Halo 3 are American as apple pieFFXIII360

If I was you I wouldn't be proud of that fact.

I don't think the TC is smart enough to grasp that. He thinks Brittish people invented videogames.:lol:

Computers my friend. We did invent those. Either us or the germans.

crytek are German

We have Blizzard.

We win all future developer contests.

I'm british but this thread is pointless.

England and America have both put there fair share into making the gaming industry what it is, you can't say either + or. Gaming is universal. Come on...

What about Canada, eh?

Bioware, Relic, EA (EA Vancouver is responsible for NHL 09, nuff said), Rockstar (Vancouver once again, responsble for Bully), Silicon Knights (lets forget about Too Human...),

We have Blizzard.

We win all future developer contests.

and Valve and Bungie.

Who Cares? How about if MS stopped outsourcing all its products it would open up millions of jobs for Americans and maybe our economy wouldnt be in absolute turmoil.
