With Microsoft recently touting its sale numbers and rumors continuing to swirl about the Xbox 720 (or whatever it will be called), we thought we’d take a short retrospective look at the key moments and decisions that have made the Xbox 360 a household name in this 7th generation of consoles.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry.

To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Xbox live quality, the interface's ease of use(click one button for messages etc). Party chat and private chat. The controller is my favorite one too. Sufficient RAM. That's all.
RRoD/E74/etc, Price of Live, much less games than Ps3 and PC(due to lack of exclusives), ugly machine(until slim one came out) although I could hardly count that I suppose
Not alot

Marketing/Advertisements efforts coupled with XBL Updates & Deals with new content distributors...which have had an effect on SALES.
Much better than the Original.
I'll stay off the negatives..The article asks about Positives.
I haven't read the article, but I can tell you their controller by far is a huge improvement much more comfi. Also, Microsoft's price point was spot on, Xbox live no need to go into detail about that.
