Still true.... not in a Nintendo platform..... but you can on mobile.how else was I supposed to play Call of Duty?
I was gonna say. Pretty sure PS3 outpaced the 360 at the very tail end of the generation ww.
lmao
you go boy
it's an NPD thread.
Until they shit the bed with Kinect and forgot they has firstparty games.
It's a..
They got this.
And after regaining consumer confidence in spite of the red ring fiasco they threw it all away in an attempt to fuck consumers over with the XB1. How they managed to lose that 360 momentum is something else. Pretty much everyone I knew had a 360, I cant say that for the XB1. It was a beast of a console.
Peak 360 was truly amazing in US during 2006-2011/12 I'd say. Waned in final years but was amazing overall. I regret waiting until 2010 to get a 360 but I was a broke, in college and scared of RRoD.
Do we have a final tally on worldwide numbers for last gen Consoles?
Imagine being this fragile.
Best console last gen by far. Ps3 improved with the slim model. But the 360 was a beast. It gave microsoft a huge platform and a level playing field start of this gen with sony. No mean feat when you consider we had already had sales behemoths of the ps1 and ps2 and a huge established fan base to compete with.
Of course they then fucked it up with the one unveiling lol

But how many had to buy a second console because the warranty had ended when it went RROD? ;)
Seriously though, I loved the console, jet engine noise and all, it was awesome on SDTVs too which I really appreciated at the time. But the payed online was off-putting, in the end it was actually more expensive to get a 360 than PS3 if you wanted to game online but MS managed to dodge the $599 US dollar mockery.

sure. when you need to go through 3-5 consoles it can really pad those numbers.
I even had a friends who said we went through 7 of them and the XB1/PS4 generation was still 2-3 years away.

360 really hit the right spot in so many areas. It often got the best version of games, it had some good exclusives, and the Xbox Live Arcade in the heyday was a cornucopia of some of the best indie titles.
Hell, it even was the first time CAVE shooters were purchase-able in America. It was a great console, for casual and hardcore people alike.
I still have mine, but mostly for games like Outrun and Scott Pilgrim that you can't buy anymore.

I went through 3 myself. Not that I regret it, I loved the console, but I would rather have just needed 1.
I had eight units alone thanks to the RROD. They were dying every ten months or so. Thankfully I kept buying Gamestop's console warranty with every new purchase.
I believe it, Nintendo sort of stopped supporting it in a way while not even announcing the successor yet.
My roommates and I still speculate that so many 360s were sold because the initial batch kept failing.
I know I had to buy three because each one failed RIGHT after the warranty went out. My third one is also on its last legs right now and the disc tray only works 20% of the time....

Anecdotally I've heard similar numbers (well, not seven). Has there been any real data on just how many people actually bought more than one unit, specifically because of the overheating issue?
i thought the first xbox did that? or was that later that xbox live came on?
you are right, here in europe the 360 was a legitimate contender against playstation thanks to the ps3 blunders
