LOL- The GameFAQs "community" represents the lowest of the low as far as gamers are concerned. Still, I'm surprised at the overall quality of the list (PS3 nonwithstanding).

I was expecting their #1 console to be "Wolverine vs Goku" or some shit.

Haha, damn man, I had a nice rant prep'd but hell, your arguement took mine and shreaded it to bits. Why argue 'in favor of' something on Gamefaqs :P

I'm just glad Sega Saturn got up there. It's such a slept on system that has so many classic games that, even today, have not been given a modern re-release.

The 360 does nothing in the online gaming department that the PS3 doesn't. Voice chat, sure, but who cares (PS3 is getting it now, too).


The Xbox 360 revolutionized gaming by making it no longer just about gaming. It's now about Facebook, Netflix, ESPN, Party Chat, etc. Personally I'm against that, but I can see how some may see it as a good thing.

One positive aspect of the 360 that I can say without a doubt is a positive is XNA. It's the first time that we average joes can make console games without hacking systems, and can sell them for a profit without breaking the law. It's a very good thing.

better exclusives? You know your lying to yourself on that one. lmao :lol:

Most of 360's games are ports of PC games or multiplat, except one or two like Halo or Fable. PS3 actually has a messload of exclusives now, the NOGAEMS meme stopped applying years ago.

Considering the extreme failure rate on the first few years of the 360, I would strongly contest that.


Dunno, despite the failures, people loved the console enough to buy it again. And again... and again :?


Love... or sheer stupidity. :roll: I'm finally getting one now that they're stable but if I ever had a system that died on me more than once, I would find it very hard to waste money on another one (especially how the first two years were with the 360). Even with the 3-year warranty, I'd be really fed up of the cycle of: RROD>>time on phone>>shipping>>MS fix it center>>shipping>>me>>x-amount of time less than the normal lifespan of any other console>>RROD>> repeat~

But on a positive note, I am pleased to see my favorite system at number 1. Though in the end, opinion is opinion and that's that.
