Factual evidence, that the 360 is JUNK. 54.2% failure rate. You better believe it people. I think the numbers are higher than that. That being said, I have personal experience with more than one 360 failing with in the last 2 years. My launch console lasted 14 months then I got the RROD.(after countless weeks of defending that piece of trash) M$ fixed it of($60) because I brought the "warranty" good for 3 years. Okay so I get the dang console back, the fan starts making funny noises then a month after that it RRODs on me again! I call up M$ they fix or replace it again, get it back. (They send me my console and a brand new console by mistake) I call M$ and tell them they sent me 2 consoles they said that I could keep the second console. So I did as a "spare" So July of 2007, my 3rd 360 RROD! In the meantime I had sold the "brand new console" to my cousin. I call up M$ by then the 3 red lights had been covered, so they gave me another console. By then I had had enough. I sold it to gamestop got $100 in cash for it.(At that time GST took $140 for them) I went out took my family out to dinner and had a blast.(Thanks M$!) Anyways the brand new console I had sold my cousin had died also. He had to send that nonsense back to M$ twice! and that was last year. LOL!!! 360 is the worst product ever. And we all know that it's M$'s deep pockets that's kept it from being taken off the market as it should be. These experiences are just a small fraction of my knowledge of the 360's faulty hardware. EVERYONE I KNOW HAS HAD TO GO THROUGH AT LEAST 2 OF THEM!!! That is UNACCEPTABLE!!! And anyone with common sense should not stand for it. (it's 2009 and this crap should not still be happening.
The Tale of the tape.
Xbox360= no standard HDD(detachable HDDs don't count because you need them considering all the "services" they offer you.
$100 for Wi-Fi
$50 for XBL
No HD player
Failed HD player add on
Too many add ons period
Games aren't true HD they're only "up scaled to 1080p", most are native 640p(although the game cases says
480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p)
no motion sensing controllers
No built-in battery controllers
higher failure rate still(as of 2009)
Not as many exclusive games(Xbox 360 has 9 this year the PS3 has 33 and the Wii has 56)
poor design
The list could go on but all these "facts" are evidence that the xbox360 is and was a wasted investment. I will say this though the xbox 360 has better games than the Wii, but... You can't enjoy them if you console fails you every chance it gets.
