Im just curious. Lets say for instance that the 360 didnt have Halo 3 and Gears, and all it had was its mediocre titles such as Lost Planet, Dead rising, Crackdown etc. Why should someone own a 360?! Basically what im saying is.. Pretend I didnt own a 360 and I wanted someone to sell me on a 360. Im a Casual gamer and not into RPGs, so Mass Effect nor bioshock would be a selling point. I like Shooters, Racers and good action packed games.. So convince me why should I own a 360.. Again lets pretend Halo and Gears didnt even exist...
The point of this thread is Phil Harrison was right when he said a few months back. He simply said he respected the Halo franchise but he also said its dangerous to build a console on only one franchise.. And he was right. I mean lets face it, Gears and Halo are the system sellers for the 360 like it or not.. While Mass effect and bioshock might be great games, they wouldnt move consoles like Gears and halo does.
Honestly Im not trying to bash the 360 even though it might sound like it. I own a 360 and enjoy it greatly BUT I will admit that if it wasnt for Gears and Halo, I wouldnt even take a second look at the 360. Sure it might have some ok games... But not anything to warrant paying $400.00 you might say "but the PS3 is $600.00 and it has no titles either" Well yes, you are true BUT in the future it will have a lot more titles actually worth the price tag as opposed to other titles that are mediocre and are worth rentals at best.

Console exclusivity of C&C3 would still get me on the X360, same with having a better community, I think if they never existed, there wouldn't be much hype, but it doesn't mean I would've gone to the PS3 either. gnutux
