I would say both are good console that are able to generate impressive graphics. Honestly speaking, XBOX360 should be the inferior console due to it's 3RROD. I would say although they have shipped out roughly around 20 million units worldwide, the actual number of working XBOX 360s could only be somewhere in between 13-15 million. The rest are dead due to 3RROD. I do admire games like Gears Of War but to know that you are buying something that may not last, it's really a pain in the ass!

So, what was the conclusion back then??

Buying backups XBOX 360 should be ok for a working adult/gamer in case their 1st unit fail. Microsoft would also be laughing behind the back door as loyal XBOX 360 fans will have no choice but to fork out more on another console with the exception of gamers being in countries supported by their 3 years warranty.

Let's imagine you were 10 years younger, still a student (Not applicable to rich kids) . Your dad will only buy you 1 console and you've choosen the 360. Months later, the unit got hit by 3RROD. How would you feel? In terms of games, I have to agree XBOX 360 does have an impressive lineups. It's just that the design and reliability of the console is not up to the standard failure rates are high). Microsoft did a rush job on releasing the console and consumers that support it has to suffers

Note: 360 fanboys will sure flame me for this but this is the fact they know as well. It's just that they can't accept the fact.

GOW for the PC though release later but is superior compared to X360. The reason behind it is that PC monitor are able to display images higher than FULL HD thus makes it sharper. You won't need to upgrade your PC for GOW2 as if your PC can run GOW1, it should be able to run GOW2 just fine Remember X360 hardware are fixed. Microsoft cannot push too hard on GOW2 or else the console will suffer from framerate problem.
