'But the point being made is in those "terrible" years he mentioned, 1 of the TOP hardcore franchises went multiplat, 1 of the notable releases gone multiplat and 3 of the noteworthy multiplats you mentions used to be 360 exclusive franchises'
This is MY point...
What does a game whether it goes multi-platform or not have ANYTHING to do with the enjoyment or quality of the game?
I played Mass Effect on my 360 and loved...
Great comment and points brought out by Dark Hollow (+bubz) and Rainstorm 81.
The truth is all consoles have their franchise exclusives, but gamers in the real world arent as focused on the exclusives argument as online.
Need some proof
The latest Official PS3 magazine posted 3 top 20 games that it's readers most anticipated.
The results? 19 out of the 20 most anticipated PS3 games from readers of OPM were multi-p...
'The downloadable games have really saved MS for the past 2 years. It's been the only real bright spot on an otherwise terrible 2 years for the 360.
Only in PS3 elitist world did these 'terrible' years on the 360 exist.
For hardcore 360 gamers who love the franchises on their system and play hardcore games whether exclusive or not, then these past two years have been amazing.
Heres the proof..

Eden was NEVER $60..all games on Kinect or Move are $49
But, hopefully the game will get bundled or sell at $20 in the future so people can appreciate this gem.
Ubisoft never promoted it outside of the gaming conference and internet.

When it comes to moving to the next gen there are alot of intangible factors
720..Xbox Live will be a HUGE factor for the next Xbox.
Carrying over achievements and Xbox Live friends list are going to be essential.
If you were one of the intial 360 install base like me then you remember stil playing the wheels of Halo 2 against your old Xbox buddies. We did this all the way till Halo 3 was launched.
This time around it...
I own all 3 consoles. But, let's face it on THIS site if you speak positively about the 360 in anyway you are going to draw out negativity.
The article simply expressed that the 360 had a great year. I commented on the reasons I felt they had a great year as well.
This is the simple truth when you log off the internet..The 360's success has no affect on Sony's success and vice versa.
With that said Sony exclusives have no af...

Gears 3 shipped 3 million in two weeks. Ok that's not bad, very good! Highest selling exclusive? No. Uncharted 3 shipped 3.8 million in one day. Don't tell me one is shipped while Gears is sold because they both came from the developer so they are both shipped numbers.'

The ONLY fanboyish BS came from YOU and your response to the T...
So bsiclly this guy DOESNT play motion control games and just pretends to know which was best.
Look..it's pretty obvious DC2 wins even if you wanted to go with Zelda.
But, that doesnt stop Fruit Ninja from being great on Kinect, Child of Eden from still being fun with the motion controls, or games that werent even played like Kinect Sports:S2 and Fitness Evolved 2012
This is my take on the 360's year
1. The Kinect effect..June 2010 after E3 presentation Kinect is pronounced DOA by the video game 'analysts'. By January 2011.Kinect Broke guiness record in 60 days with 10 Milli sold..
2. The Kinect multi-campaign WASNT just for Kinect. It rebranded the entire console. The results..record hardware sales 6 years DEEP into the console generation.
3. It definately was all roses during the 360 l...

LMAO @ people still literally having to create multi-account after multi-account just to smear a console they don't own.
But, it's clear when you realize the amount of phantoms on the most contested topics on n4g.com vs. the amount of normal commenters.

Oh and EvilDead, I don't have a 360, remember? Even with my profile link having my avatar call you a tool, your silence was classic
Your avatar calling me a tool? What are you even talking about?
After I get my life back from Skyrim..i'll restart Dark Souls again and finally get to play Deus Ex..but not until I restart Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 complete with all the DLC all before buying Mass Effect 3..
Life is good

Listen..it's laughable that everytime we talk about an app we are somehow paying extra for it.
Simply not true..
I don't pay extra for HBO GO..it's free with my comcast subscription. People are paying up to 200 dollars for these standalone HD boxes that play these same apps. I bought one as a gift and was blown away by HBO GO.
No matter where you stream Netflix you pay for it.

Youtube for the 360 is easily best addition to Live since Netflix.
Disappointed that Daily Motion to the 'sexy' category out for the 360..kidding
I Love MSNBC as well..definately cut down my DVR recording
I Heart radio is definately more addicting than I thought it was.
All in all..new dashboard is even better than I thought it could be.

No disrespect to the author but the fact is new IPs arrive and are played by gamers every year. If you really had to go all the way back to Wi Sports, Assassins Creed, and Call of Duty then youve CLEARLY missed an entire generation of titles.
It's crazy how people disregard games like Rage, LA. Noire, Bulletstorm, Dead Island etc. as new IPs for 2011
Xbox Live and PSN are literally filled with new IPs.
In fact, not onlyhas Bastion recei...
@ JMdrm03 or is it Jmdrm14?
LMFAO @ having to create a multi-account 35 minutes ago just repeat yourself over and over.
We get the whole Anti-Kinect/Anti-360 rant thing.
But, just like always, many of these arguments can be used against Sony and Nintendo as well. The hypocrisy comes when you see the usual suspect pretend that somehow it ONLY applies to Kinect or the 360.
I've already replied below to the same quot...
LMAO @ so much fail in this Anti-kinect rhetoric..
I love how people who don't own Kinect make ignorant claims that 'it doesnt work for gaming'
Kinect works PERFECTLY for games that cater to it's strengths. But, it simply isn't going to be as effective with ALL types of games.
Kinect never was promoted as or HAS to be the end all for ALL types of devices. We obviously use the 360 controller for Halo, Gears of War, C...
'Second, exclusives ARE games. Add those to the multiplats and you have many many many choices.'
Then why pretend that Micrsoft 3 biggest franchise released in 2011 AREN'T games? It makes me laugh when people keep downplaying the biggest Halo and Gears ONLY because they are on the 360.
This is what you say about Nintendo..
