IGN writes: "Truth be told, the Xbox 360 doesn't have a particularly strong lineup of exclusive titles. So what sets it apart from its competitors? Xbox Live. Microsoft was first to implement many of the online and community features that are now considered standard in current-gen games and Sony and Nintendo have essentially been playing catch-up ever since the 360 was launched in November 2005. Xbox Live is cemented as the strongest online community out of all three modern systems but it's easy to forget the service is over seven years old. When it launched way back in 2002 it certainly wasn't as robust a service as it is today. Join us as we take a look back over the last seven years and chart all the major developments in Xbox Live's life."

Xbox 360 FTW
IGN and another one of their back handed articles about the 360.
""Truth be told, the Xbox 360 doesn't have a particularly strong lineup of exclusive titles. "
I should of stopped reading there.
For me, Live played no part of my 360 decision. It was games like Kameo, Halo, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Call of Duty 2, Project Gotham Racing, Forza, Banjo, Crackdown, etc.. These are strong titles if you ask me and Live was just a bonus.
