GAMER TV has declared 360 as the winner of nxt gen console wars in its latest episode.
So "what is the main factor tat lead to 360's overwhelming success?"
from this poll we can understand wat appealed to the 360i members for buying 360.

I really can't see PS3 catching 360 before 2008. I think MS made a smart move by launching 360 early. The original always seemed like an experiment, and it's pretty obvious that it didn't do too well as compared to PS2 because MS weren't really that experienced at that time. Plus, PS2's killer exlusive titles list killed any chances Xbox had.
This gen we've seen great exclusive titles and obviously the addition of achievements and xbox live being awesome helps. So, it's hard to pin point 360's success to a single thing.

i agree with altair....the war hasnt even started....before the PS3, the 360 was the only next gen console....so it basically won the race with only 1 racer...!!
however, in tht time, it has such a huge lead over the PS, tht its seriously affecting PS3 sales.....hence, i feel thts the main reason for the 360's success.....early launch...
but, i feel tht unless MS start to reduce the overhead costs of owning an xbox (no xbl in india, no free xbl, late launch of games in india, etc), PS3 is gonna catch up real quick and may even overtake the 360 by next year...MS needs to understand tht their monopoly has ended and they have serious competition...

honestly this thread is a joke firstly the war has not even started,it was all about hardware thus far,its all bout software from now on.if a console does beat x360's overall sale no this year it will be the wii and not ps3. then the 360 is 15mnths old and the ps3/wii are 5 mnths
also a bit about sales no that u find at various sites sony/ms quote the number they have shiped to warehouses,retailers etc whereas ninty's numbers a4re the one that are sold.

i dont think the wii should even be considered next gen...all it has is an innovative control system...the only reason its clubbed with the 360 and PS3 is its been launch around the same time
peace

history shows the console with the lowest graphical capabilities always wins snes,gb,psone,ps2,ds...and wii maybe. ps3 and 360 will be too close to each other to have a clear winner.

gamecube had more power than the ps2 and some of the games for the GC have proved it,as for the dreamcast it died barely months after the ps2 launched ,ps2 didnt kill the dreamcast it was psone that killed DC and SEGA(saturn+DC)

As I said, Gamer TV folks are deluded. Secondly.. did the dreamcast or gamecube have better graphics than the PS2? Yes. The DC games looked awesome during its time. However, over time PS2 games have turned out to be a lot better looking, thats due to more development time, support and better hardware. When DC came out though, it was looking better than the PS2 games. You should've seen games like DOA 2 and Shenmue. GC games were clearly better looking. The GC is a more powerful machine compared to the PS2. Of all the current gen consoles (thats previous gen now) PS2 was the weakest in terms of power. But it won the battles as well as the war, heh.

even i dont agree tat 360 is d winner of console wars but it has succeeded in capturing d market worldwide.it has done much better than d xbox.& i dont disagree tat PS3 might take d lead nxt year but v r talking of d present here.& all r pin pointing d fact of 360's early release,so dont u think its "THE MAJOR FACTOR" tat has hampered PS3 success considerably?after all PS3 would hav done much much better if it had released alongside 360. sam:hey dude i never told u to give the title of the poll as "Why X360 won next gen console war" as even i dont consider it a winner,yet.i just wanted to keep this poll as "the reason for 360's overwhelming success in the gaming market."so if possible plz change the title as some ppl hav misunderstood the poll.& yes...thanx for starting the poll. cheers.

x360 really has some cool titles this time unlike its predecessor and thanks to sony's repeated follies on part of PS3, i think x360 is poised to win. of course, unless some ground breaking title comes for PS3. Titles like MGS,DMC in my opinion doesnt look anything earth shattering, MS can surely make a clone of that on their 360....I hear that Forza made ppl say "Gran what " ! For every MGS, DMC on PS3 x360 has GoW and an Alan Wake. So in the looooong run, if PS3 wins, its becoz of their stupid fan base who'll buy anything wrapped with a playstation label pasted on it Wii is something like a barbie doll, ppl who buy wii will mostly likely purchase a x360 or PS3 for some serious gaming ! To be honest Wii is really cute, and when I saw the review on NDTV, I was hooked on to it. If it launches in India, surely I'm gonna buy it !

^^ Are you even comparing MGS to GoW? Gears of War is a joke compared to Metal Gear Solid, even though the genres are different altoghether. Even going by pure action game standards (for your sake) God of War 2 is better than Gears of War. Make no mistake, I am not saying GOW is bad, its just that games like MGS just plain blow it out of the water!!
And DMC (along with God of War) are probably the best third person action adventures in a long time. You'll need a lot more than GOW (and Alan Who?) to beat PS3.
^^You are kidding, right? Name me five game (already released) on the 360 thats of real substance (thats with over one and a half yearrs).
At the end of the day, you are entitled to your opinion EVEN if you are wrong.
