Well this gen is coming to a close and it seems the once strong 360 is losing all it's me only games.

With Mass Effect 2 going to the PlayStation and it large AAA game like God of War. Is this it for 360 to go out with not a roar but a wimper. I myself will keep the 360 simply becuase I already own it. Unless it RR me again then not so much.
Please don't make total troll bait threads like this
keep this sort of thing game v game at least console v console tends to make trolls come

The exact same thing was said when the 360 started getting games that were previously PlayStation exclusive. Both systems are great, and for their own reasons. One is NOT better then the other, nor is either dying out anytime soon. This Gen of consoles is not coming to a close, hell, they are just releasing new "motion detection technology" for said systems.

Consoles will come and go, but whiners will remain forever.

How's that for a first post.
I know you've had this before, but well done! you just said what was going through my mind...

On behalf of the Escapist...please take this!

I've heard it said many times that this console generation is going to be the longest, and given what we've seen in terms of graphical enhancements and leaps forward in patching technology, I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be the case. The 360, along with the Wii and the PS3, will probably stay right where they are well into the 10's. I wouldn't anticipate a new console before, say, 2015.

Unless you're talking about this in terms of the "console war", in which case I have to say, you're kind of idiotic if you still buy into that crap.

"they're" meaning "they are".
not "there" meaning "look over there".
Also.. well played Dr Cuddles. Well played.

An embarassing thread.

No the 360 is not dying out, it's holding up perfectly well in the gaming market, as is the 360.

You presented one actual point that would suggest that the 360 could even begin to fail in the console market. Until you come back with more, the point you made is pretty weak.

This.
Now can we stop visiting the idiots thread and move onto more important things, like which hand your going to scratch that itch with?

I thought we decided last year, when the Microsoft guy actually told us, that they weren't planning on redeveloping a totally new console until at least another 5 years? And why put down the 360 and not the PS3? That doesn't make sense, so what a few exclusives are no longer exclusives that doesn't mean there is no hope for this console anymore, it just means the publishers and devs want more money.

It would have been pretty epic had it actually been the first post!

Personally I agree with you. Whenever my friends start arguing about I can never be bothered to join in despite having an Xbox. They're both pretty awesome.

Who told you this gen was over?
Because they were lying, or you're lying. Someone's lying.

And no the 360 isn't done, none of them are.
One ported game does not a doomed console make.

Sorry if it's a double post

Right. Always right. Also: I always seem to become more itchy when I'm playing something like CoD online. It has gotten me killed so many times

Games getting ported isn't what will see off this current-gen console. Besides, they're probably already working on a next-gen console as we speak. I think it's safe to predict that it will have more focus on motion control, seeing as Kinect and Move are set to be a hit.
I've read that they are talking about a Wii HD by some time 2011. Other than that, I do not know if we will ever see a PS4 or Xbox 720. The bottle neck to a new generation of graphics is not the hardware at this time, but in development. Already, doing a 720 P game has twice the production time and costs of developing for last gen.

So, I think that is why there is all the hype about the motion stuff. Today's games do what they need to do in terms of graphics.

Maybe they will start to think about gen 8 when 3D TV sets are becoming somewhat universal. As I have just in the last 6 months replaced the last CRT in my home, I'm not getting another for some time.

On topic: The 360 still has the best Netflix service of the 3 consoles, best on line (at a price) for my money, the most comfortable controller and now has wireless N built in. It has a larger library than the PS3 and its older titles are now very reasonably priced for budget minded gamers.

Last I read, their sales are doing better than the PS3 as well, so, no, why would I think it nearly done?

In the meantime, I own a PS3 as well. It has its own strengths. But, if someone without a console were to ask me which one to get if they had to get only one, I'd be hard pressed to give them an answer.

I wouldn't say it's "done" but it's definitely losing it's flair. For me at least the only exclusive titles i'd like to play is Viva Pinata and ME1, the PS3 on the other hand is racking up a pretty damn awesome list.
