The Cold One Debates: Who is the Most Respectable?
Part One - Microsoft
Every gamer goes through debates/arguments/fights over which of the Big 3 is the best system, has the best games, the best handhelds, etc. One topic I would want to touch on is respectablity. (Note: I am a hardcore Sony fan.)
Microsoft, you are the most respectable of the Big 3 in gaming. You have been here for only two short generations, yet you have acquired a fan-base of hardcore fans that easily contends with Nintendo and Sony's fans. You hit us hard and fast, with many, many games that have become easy classics, and are now your base franchises.
Right after the success of the Xbox, you come right out with the Xbox 360, and we all hope you don't turn into Xbox 720...do something cooler, please? Even though you had many, many problems with your system in its debut, and some recalls, coming out early and hard, well ahead of the competition is an extremly smart move when it comes to console releases. (Nice job, Sony, staying in the same month with the Wii.) Now it is the time to expand your nation of gamers, and in E3 '09, you easily showed that you want everybody to join in with the Xbox crave, putting FB & Twitter on your system and giving the first showing of Project Natal & Milo.
We've been brought Xbox Live, the first system with achievements, and most would say the most comfortable controllers (to which I disagree, Dualshock, baby). The most shocking thing that can be said about this amazing system, in only 7 years of two generations, is that you are a North American system, yet you are starting to win over the Japanese fan-base...I know, its a shocker, isn't it? A country that is based on the J-RPG, and numerous crazy, crazy games, is playing your system.
Microsoft, I salute you, you have proven yourself worthy, to be the most respectable system. Do you agree, or disagree?
(Coming soon: Part 2: Nintendo.)

I wouldn't realyy call it the most respectable system, but I would say that Microsoft and Bill have done a whole crapload of alot of upgrades and such within the 7-8 years XBOX came into existence. I was never a regular XBOX fan since of all the hardware failures I keep hearing about (I am a Sony fanboy as well). However, I do give credit where it is earned and I must say that the XBOX 360 definitely outclass other systems in some categories (like the online community and online play).
I agree. Microsoft has to be given some major props. I was always a Sony fan as well, and refused to be taken by the Xbox craze. It has won me over, as it's done with much of the gaming world. While I'd be careful with the phrase 'most respectable', despite all it's problems, Microsoft has fashioned a name for itself in the gaming world. Which is no easy task when you consider it's competition.
As for the controllers, give me a dualshock or one from the Nintendo 64 era.
@laytexduckie@xanga - Don't worry, all the systems will be debated for having the most respect. Only problem with the system, the system itself is flawed with its 3-red lights. Expect the new Xbox to be announced soon enough at a big conference, or to be leaked even sooner (Like it has).
@Super_Andy@xanga - Dualshock is be far the most comfortable to me, and the N64 Controller (The Trident), was comfortable, but slightly frightening to approach. Microsoft was the easiest to call respectable, compared to the competition right now. Nintendo is next, which I have flamed multiple times here, for its ignoring of hardcore gamers (IMOs). No worries, I have plenty of good to say.
