    The original XBOX was around for 4 years? This one's three years old. It's outsold the original by 3 million in 1 less year. While impressive, I don't know if it's chest-thumping impressive.

You weren't supposed to read this ^_^; I was told my a kind gentleman today that PC folks stay in PC stories, PS3 folks stay in PS3 stories, 360 folks stay in 360 stories, and Wii folks stay in Wii stories. Apparently Kotaku is supposed to be segregated (according to him) real nice and proper-like... just like the deep south :3 I'm sure he feels that people who own multiple consoles are sell-outs and should be hung too :|

    @ShirtGuyDom: I'm working in an environment where it was announced just before Christmas that we will be cutting 10% of our workforce (about 100 people). You can imagine the mood around the office when I came back from my two weeks off. This is the first real economic disaster I've been through as an adult and I can't say I like the feeling of uncertainty one bit :(

    I'm thinking of getting a 360 but I'm not into shooters and adventure games on the 360 are pretty bad.

    PS3 are coming out with some awesome adventure games.

    In all honesty, does this include people that were forced to buy a second(etc) console because theirs was out of warranty or something other than 3RL?

    Would you poll all 28 million sales to figure out how many of those 360s were purchased by the same individuals? Even more so when you're trying to brag about how well you're doing?

    I'd agree with this only because if Microsoft were forced to call it quits now, so many people would be screwed out of a lot of money and invested time.


    Otherwise, I'd shed no tear nor show any remorse if gamers came together to tar and feather Microsoft's Xbox division.


    Good games, good features, good online- Absolutely horrible, pathetic hardware- To the point where it's insulting to customers.

    @Hey_guy: The design is excellent... the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The new chips using far less energy will generate less heat and will most likely end the whole problem... it's sad that 28 million of us will not likely have this benefit :(

    @okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under):

    I'm disappointed with microsoft for the hardware problems and i really think they should of fixed the problems a long time ago. (idk how common rrods are now but it seems like they have been getting better with the new chipset or whatever so props to MS)


    Microsoft really did do well the software this generation with getting games to break away from exclusivity and even get extra dlc in many situations. They really outdid the competition in this sense so that redeems them for this generation and really lets them to start to actually be a big threat in the video game industry (to the hardware competition)


    I really dislike how Microsoft rushed into the market and kind of screwed the customers over. I realize they needed to get out early for their sake but i really think they should of done more on finding solutions for the hardware they would be pushing later on. (maybe Ms did more then i know but it seems they ignored the problem with hardware and just covered the costs with warranty)They did handle the situation well though for users effected though.


    I'm kind of biased since i have a ps3 and don't have a 360 but i'm not a fanboy by any means. Sony just owns a lot of the ips i love so i really am kind of locked to the system but i really will consider the xbox next generation if they bring out solid hardware and keep up with there software.

    @Musenik: Probably most of them...


    Regardless though, this is good news as hopefully is hopefully in this for the long haul. More money for them will also into more features for us. The business is clearly making them money and may make up what they've invested before the next generation swings around. They need to pick up the momentum even more... it's no time to slow down because if anyone thinks Sony is out of it... they would be idiots. RROD aside, it's healthy competitions that will MS rolling out good features for the platform.
