The system is wonderful...but not too many poeple are keen on wasting $400 in today's wonderful economy.

I think that yes, in terms of money, the PS3 isn't doing so hot. Which is why Sony quit making them with backwards compatibility to force people buy PS3 games. Which just made it less appealing. BUT, the PS3 is great. Works great, easy to get around, doesn't freeze up. And I can leave it on at night to play music to help me sleep.

But the Xbox360 inevitably failed in my opinion. With the whole R-ROD fiasco. Along with the ordeal with the scratched disks. Yes they have fixed the problem now, but kinda late in the game though. And they're already coming out with the latest Xbox. Whereas they said the PS3 will last for the next decade. Which is a smart thing to say. Because now we're not expecting the next PS3 for at least 6 years (i think). Which gives Sony time to get all the bugs out of the next PlayStation console.

So I would list PS3 as win and Xbox 360 as fail.

Halo Wars happens about 20 years before the first Halo game.

they're not making more halos. the series ended in 3.

Err, not exactly. Though the series with Master Chief ended, there are still two new games coming this year: Halo 3 O.D.S.T. (Fall 09) and Halo Wars (February 09) Halo Wars is a strategy game and O.D.S.T. is like an expansion.

On the topic of the game consoles, yes your ratings agree with mine, and I am really hoping that the third Microsoft console won't crash and burn. 360 is amazing as is, and I hope the third don't screw up what it's predecessor created.

I wouldn't call the N64 "fail" at all. I remember many fine deathmatches and a few "Thank god I finally beat that boss" moments. Though some things like the graphics always bugged me, I did have fun with it.

I mean't it more in this meaning. Up to that point, it was their worst
main console. (Excluding Virtual Boy, which wasn't really a console...)
N64 had great games but had very few games compared to PS1 which
beat the living crap out of it in the console war.

Anyway, I think the OP is wrong, PS3 wasn't a fail, Xbox didn't fail because it's not released, and heaps of people say the N64 was good.

This thread is epic fail

Something called Halo: ODST is coming out, and should be the Halo 4, or it
will be the Halo 4, like the picture in that guy's earlier post. Halo Wars is
similar to N Game, a free Internet game, and N+, an Xbox 360 Arcade
game. N+ isn't called N Game 2. It is more like a side-kick.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Halo Wars is more like a side game
to the main Halo trilogy. That's all I got, though. I may be wrong. Some of
my friends on Xbox Live know people who work for Bungie, and tell us
certain news that is usually not told to the public.

You gotta love Xbox 360 Live... it's pure awesome, now that it has a whole
new layout, template, player avatars, and better game system.
