That is interesting..do tell..
Fanbloggers are just as bad. The tired technique of calling out others when the only difference is that you do it from a random site doesn't make the author's opinion any better that those he criticizes in his blog.
Just playing Evils advocate...

Microsoft played to its strengths which was Xbox live and kept expanding in that lane through the dashboard. Every major franchise that shaped the 360 early this gen still played a part in its success later in the gen. Not to mention, they caught fire with Kinect at the right time. All of which positioned the system for some solid success 7 years later and all are factors that look to put the brand in a good place headed into next gen.
They are far from the only console that ...

'Here you go guys. if youre gonna be spewing BS about how great MS is in the hopes of changing peoples minds about their console of choice you might as well get paid for it.'
Show me where I am claiming how 'great MS is..If it's such BS then how is it an employee like yourself can't come up with ONE argument to prove any of it wrong.
LMAO ANOTHER hypocrite talking about MS paying someone when this guy REALLY is...
@ Clyde
Hadn't heard or really checked into it. I guess we are all assuming it sold out in most places.
There is a definately difference in how the launches felt. It was absolutely bezerk when the Wii dropped.
Reggie feels good though..he's in rare form right now..lol
I can't call it..but I can't see many of them sitting around as Xmas gets closer

The backstory for the article makes no sense.
Look we see all the troll articles that come at all 3 consoles..and this is definately one of em'
But, I can't see pretending that Sony will EVER have a system that developers have issues with again.
I see both MS and Sony learning from everything that didn't go well this gen and both coming strong next gen.

If you believe Pirate Thom trolling right now you will believe anything.
He trolled Mass Effect 3 before it was released saying it was going to be trash because of reporter appearance, but now he's claiming he bought a 360 on the strength of the franchise.
On topic..
The author of the article is doing exactly the same thing..
It's straight fiction to beleive he would criticize the PS3 after he supposedly lost his Xb...
@ Nukacola
'You really love those checks MS sends you right? Or are you just that type of person?'
Here's another hypocrite pretending that if you say something positive about something MS related your getting paid..
Yet..look at what Nukacola wrote when he simply saw a new PS Vita bundle only 4 days ago..
'This is an ultimate deal. All Stars is freaking insane, Uncharted is amazing, Gravity Rush is stellar, A...
LOL..classic. Pablo-b +++++
Don't worry his true colors will come out. They always do.
People remember what he was like.

Hey it's the other account..couldn't wait for it to show up..LMAO..
Same line same link..hahahahaha

'No, not everyone. Just you and about 2 others. That DK guy and nukeitall. And go ahead and look at my comment history and see how many MS articles I've commented on lately. You won't find much. But go ahead and think that anyone with anything negative to say about your precious is a troll, doesn't matter to anyone but you really.'
LMAO..your not fooling anyone..it's ACTUALLY the other way around. You simply troll MS articles and if someone says anythi...
I've been saying this throughout the last half of the year
You could see how Microsoft set themselves up for a good holiday every since E3.
It's not fair to compare the sales to Wii-U because everyone knew all along that the Wii-U would essentially sell out of it's shipment throughout the holiday.
The Halo 4 sales they got this go-around also attribute to the fact that this was the first time in a really long time they had Halo re...
'EvilDead360: Putting aside your constant MS PR and the way you speak as though you have inside information about EA and MS, MS don't care about you. By you I mean the fans'
LMFAO...Putting aside that you bleed troll, you statement was the silliest of seen on this site in years.
See no matter how many times you cry that everyone is a PR, you are not fooling ANYONE tp the fact that you spend you entire time trolling MS in allegiance one company. ...
In a way you can't blame Nintendo.
The excitement level will quadruple when the put out the inevtable stabe of traditional exclusives.
We all will want to see what a next gen Mario 3D, Zelda, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros. and Metroid will be like on the Wii-U.
The problem is those will encompass the next 2 to 3 years of games.
By that time it will be repeat time starting the sequels to this years launch games. Sprin...
Well said..
But, I think the whole Office thing would be knd of strange, but I definately see the advantage of having your powerpoint presentations displayed through your TV..so who knows.
But, yeah the whole Kinect Skype thing could be predicted as soon as they bought it.

Xbox Live will be a huge advantage from the previous gen.
You are talking at least 40 million with 50% Gold members. If you are lowballing.
You are talking backwards compatablity out of the box and the same friends list for your gamer tag.
Last gen we were still playing Halo 2 online with the same friends. If the 720 were to arrive you are talking the huge fanbase that will still be playing Halo 4, Black Ops 2, The Gears prequel, GTA 5, Mine...
Don't worry millions of Halo fans still do
Evil
This isnt close to the situation MS was in back in 2005.
The 360 will still be on sale and supported by developers. Even more proof of this comes with MS selling the $99 dollar model with the 2 years Live subscription.
There will be the same line of EA sports still supported on the 360 next year. The same will go for The inevitable COD vs. BF4 battle next holiday.
Evil
If the 720 were to launch next year, then developers still arent going to ignore the 70 million install for the advantages of nextr gen.
This really comes into play with staples like Call of Duty and the EA franchises.
Evil
Well he works at PSExtreme and owns only 15 games for the 360 so of course he's only cares about one of the few games he owns.
I over over 150 games now for my 360, It got to the point where I just dont count anymore. But I keep almost all of them, because I know I'll end up replaying them for achievements.
I own a PS3 as well and unlike the fan bloggers claim there is NO GAME that has come out for Nintendo or Sony that ever made me pretend that ther...
