The Top 5 Reasons The Xbox 360 Is Not Dead
In an article I was reading a minute ago, an Aussie news website spoke out about the Xbox360. I personally have taken a stance on the issue that is pretty much neutral, because I do like the Xbox360. I just do not necessarily believe it will win the console war. Here is the article and here is your top 5 reasons. Enjoy.
#5) Fanbase + Microsofts Determination
Microsoft has been in the console business for a little over 6 years now. During this time they have released a total of two consoles. These consoles both have had mild success. During this time Microsoft built up a very firm fan base that is as loyal as it gets. Microsoft is absolutely determined that they will make it big in the console business. When you add the fanbase together with determination you get a winning solution. Microsoft will not let their console die just like ME or Vista.
#4) Microsoft's Nearly Unlimited Funding
Microsoft is one of the worlds richest company, making billions of dollars a year. Even though Microsoft takes a loss on every console sold with the Xbox360 they do not seem to care, nor should they. They make their money back through first party games and Xbox Live. Microsoft can kick as much money into the console as they want, more than can Nintendo or Sony. Money normally equals sales, you can advertise or fix problems.
#3) Warranty
People should no longer fear when they go out to buy themselves an Xbox360, each 360 is backed with a 3 year warranty. You no longer have to worry about that 30% failure rate, one of the most important statistics for consoles. If your console decides to fry one day while playing Gears you can feel relieved knowing you have a warranty.
#2) Xbox Live
One of the most popular features for the Xbox360 is the demand for online gaming. Xbox Live offers everything you could want in an online service. You can download movies or try out a demo for the latest game. Xbox Live is probably the best feature for the entire console, with over 10 million subscribers and an estimated 5 million gold members. You can easily find someone to play.
#1) The Exclusive Titles
We could have been talking about the death of the console months ago if it wasn't for all of the great exclusives the 360 has to offer. Some of the best game franchises of all time are attached to 360 exclusively, especially Halo. Halo 3 was possibly a console saver and with Halo Wars coming out this fall you can expect at least one more year of the 360. Halo sells that many consoles.
