i tihnk that you might ahve[QUOTE="skorpion352"]does anyone else think that the xbox360 is just a more powerful version of the orginal and made no contributions to how to technology?
to put it in prospective for you, the wii has an innovative new controller design (visit www.wiihaveaproblem.com to see the flaws in this)
and the ps3 features the cell broadband processor that allows the cpu to do 8 things at once whereas a normal cpu can only do one.
and what has the xbox360 done to contribute?

lol, condradiction.
ah yes, and the 360 has a tri-core processor, as a pose to 1 core and 8 (2 currently unused) SPEs which don't count as extra cores. 8 things at once? I think even the NES could pull that one off.
Ah yes, as for the controller, they cretaed a guide button, and made it extrememly comfortable, unlike the predecesor. They've also given the 360 media centre capabilities.
firstly, they should have done that with the controller in the first place
secondly, i never said it has any extra cores.
third, i think you might have misunderstood me. what i meant was "true parallel processing" sure the nes might have been capable of doing several thing at once, but it was only able to do one thing per clock cycle of the cpu. the ps3's cell broadband processor allows it it do 8 things per clock cycle of the cpu. and the "tri-core processor" only ahs 3 cores, meaning it can co much less than the ps3. and as for xbox live, that was something we already had, they just made improvements to it. and you have to pay for it, unlike sonys online system which is free and you still ahvent answered my question. please dont tell me about something that they improved upon form the orginal xbox
