I’ve have a 360 for over a year & haven’t had any problems yet. The games on 360 are much better than on the PS3 at least for now(Gears of War,Halo,Halo Wars) .Gates left the company because he is old, not because things were tough & he just quit.I do however,have a problem with MS basically locking out any other company from selling desktops/software with anything but Windows.To charge/extort their customers into paying for a new “upgraded” OS every 3 years or so should be a crime. I remember reading right after Vista was released that they were busy working on the next OS upgrade.So they are charging the public for an OS they know is temporary before they even release it like with Windows ME.

While this is a blog and should be taken with a grain of salt it is true that M$ has treated the industry with the same regard it did with users of operting systems in the 70s. M$ doesn’t have that monopoly anymore, they only thrive well when consumers have no other choice but to use their products. That’s no longer the case. Gamers have a choice and they are proving it to M$ with their wallets.

Blu-ray will be the final nail in M$’s coffin. Where else can you get a bluray player for 300 bucks? The hardware is solid, the network is solid, the selection in games is starting to ramp up more every day. All M$ has left is it’s the LIVE service and that has been dying slowly since Xmas 07. If you simply can not live without your precious achievemnts and gamerscore then stay a M$ client, they need people who enjoy abuse and disrespect to keep them afloat.

360 fanboys are so desperate to defend their precious that they can’t see clearly. The 360 was a mistake, it was launched too soon and still isn’t up to par 5 versions later. The M$ business model of grabbing as much cash as quickly as possible worked. In that first year of ‘next gen’ consoles they sold like mad, but there was no competition. People desperate to play ‘next gen” lined up to get a 360 a year before the technology was ready and are still paying for their mistake to this day.

Fanboys will only see what they want, and they don’t want to hear anything but their console is best. The 360 is already topping out, true gamers will have to play PC or PS3 if they don’t want a scaled back version of the new titles due out. The 360 can not handle it with no hard drive, and all games are made for that cash grabbing arcade version so all 360 owners will suffer from that versions limitations. 64MB memory card? That’s the limitation of the 360, all games must be designed to not use a hard drive. This is what M$ calls next gen. See you all on PSN very soon ;)

Blogs are always bullshit, it’s his opinion with an attemtp to make it appear as news. It’s not news.

I love how no one responded to my posts because no one knows what to say because well let’s face it…it’ll probably happen. It’s OK 360 fanboys, your console will probably still win America.

Oh and I forgot Resistance 2 and Final Fantasy XIII (it’s supposed to come out this year but a game like this won’t be out til it’s ready) on my list of exclusives.

Triston McIntyre, please stop filling this site with absolute bull shit. Really, if you must know, the Playstation 3 is also a piece of crap like the purposed XBox 360 in this article. It melted when Sony first tested it (thats 10 grand of equipment at the time that melted) and Blu-ray was so faulty that even the slightest piece of dust rendered the disk unuseable. I could go on to Sony stealing Nintendo’s idea, and a bunch of bad things about the Wii, but this post is to tell you to stop telling the world a bunch of bullshit. If you wish to grow up, please e-mail me at ahodacsek@gmail.com

What is wrong with every one on this site, why do people like printing lies and also some people beleive them, are you still children I have a PS3 and I would have to be silly to think that MS is having any problems. How can a company that has just offered 44Billion $ be in trouble. There are some sad people on this site…

Your bias is so obvious it obfuscates everything you write. You might want to review Microsoft’s most recent financial reports as it shows how financially successful Vista is. And where is the reference to Halo 3 which became the most successful entertainment title of all time.

Tech Blorge embarrasses itself by letting you continue to associate yourself with its site in any way shape or form.
