First out of the gate. That's 360's advantage. If they can play it right - sell 20M units before PS3 ships, then it's "over" for Sony.

Dreamcast sold 10M with over a years headstart...
It would really be a feat to sell 20M, or even 10M in 3-4 months.

Lets be serious people. lets stop the fanboy Dick riding. I'm a xfan because the software is relevant and is far superior when it comes to power.

my wagon has 3 spaces left for any sfag who wants to change their mind.

this guy is a class act. :lol

Marketing, marketing, marketing.

Microsoft did a very poor job of letting the buzz build by blowing their wad early with shots and video of woefully unfinished games, press conferences that continually lowered expectations and went back on promises, and a slow move toward getting final hardware ready to go.

Had they been a bit more stingy and excersized a heavy dose of quality control, things may have been different leading up to this point.

Something about this thread reminds me of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

Should I be worried I haven't seen a picture of wall guy? Because deciding to release photo's like that and then trying to pawn it off as next gen would be the biggest mistake of all.

"What is the 360's biggest mistake?"

no Halo 3 @ launch

It will still sell quite well, but not that much, while It would have destroyed the competition with Teh Masterchief...

 

[Legal Step]

Letting J. Allard talk.

 

[Helznicht]

Well if I heard correctly, there are letting a game go through without Anti-Aliasing !

 

[Gek54]

For me off course its the lack of a TFF wheel or MS possibly not allowing support of the DFP. Other than that its seems to be covering just about all the bases. Oh and MS should mandated that every racing game be at least 60fps.

stupid marketing group and showing games FAR to early to the public (PDZ, Crackdown, and others)

 

[KAOS]

Not making the system region free.

yeah, it probably is drinky. the fucking bastard gets off impersonating females.

Oh my god... :lol :lol :lol :lol

General Zhaoyun is not Drinky, she is definitely a girl. I know this for sure. I've seen her pic and talk to her, and no I'm not posting it, not without her permission. This isn't the thread for that anyway

using a shared 128-bit memory bus - this is also a mistake in PS3 also. no hard feelings.

 

[terrene]

The biggest problem they will face could be the Revolution.

lol

 

[JMPovoa]

Xbox360's biggest mistake is not having "Sony" brand on it.

Why is that a problem? Just curious since I don't know anything about that

How good/bad is the Xbox 360's architecture? Is 256mb RAM plus 256mb video going to cause problems or is it a good idea?

 

[KingJ2002]

I have to say.


Launching 2 versions of the system at $299 and $399 when one SKU at $349.99 would have been acceptable & understandable.
