I try my best to be unbiased gamer, but I'm playing my 360 less and less because of the poor decisions Microsoft made. A cheap disc drive, the lack of wireless internet adapter (sold separately to make you shell out another $40)
Mine's a Slim, so it's already built in. No problems there.
But yeah, the original wireless adaptor was kind of crap. Kind of like how the 360 originally didn't have a built-in hard drive. Stupid mistakes.
lack of Achievement sharing features
Please elaborate. Last I checked, I can share any achievements I get on Facebook if I wanted to. I just haven't - it's not my thing.
wireless controller requires AA batteries.
Not if you get the Plug-and-Play charge kit with it. I got that with all my controllers, since I don't want to shell out dosh for AAs.
I use my 360 a heck of a lot more than my PS3, but they've both had their share of problems. It seems neither of them can handle having to do two tasks at once (e.g: signing in to your account and starting up a game), so they freeze up. Still, the 360 doesn't need to cache the system after an improper shutdown, and it doesn't need to load Achievements from online in order to view them. The worst part of the PS3 is not being able to communicate cross-gaming; that was a huge error on their part.
So yeah, Xbox got the lion's share of my attention last-gen. Might also be because Sony was not unlike Microsoft in the current gen: They were a bunch of greedy, arrogant assholes who thought they could get away with anything. Force feedback? That's old news, our crappy SixAxis is the future! Wii's a lollipop, but wait 3 years and we'll copy it down the road with Move! We don't care about gimmicks, but in this racing game you can use the PSP as a car mirror! They were flat-out
awful.
Nevertheless, I haven't bought either of the current gen and don't plan to. I would be more inclined if Sony had a first-party game I liked, and not one that's made by a third-party company who will make a better multiplatform title of the same type somewhere down the line.
For what its worth, the Xbone seems to have little to no problems in its first year, at least compared to the 360. Besides its better to be #pcgamingmasterrace
Well you say that, but the computer I bought in 2010 grew inundated by 2011, barely being able to keep up with low to moderate Battlefield 3 specs, and don't even
think about playing the latest gen on it. I've been meaning to buy another, but it's still a shitload of money for such low returns. Only thing that makes it worth it is pirating games, and developers have been trying their hardest to stop you from doing that.
