Opinion: Why the Xbox 360 is the winner of the current console war
The Xbox 360 is the winner of the current console war. A bit of a premature statement considering as how the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii have only been on the market long enough to have their first technical teething problems ? I think not, and here’s why.
The Xbox 360 has won the current generational console war because it was first to market and is the most mature system out there. There are over 7.5 million Xbox 360’s in the wild as we speak, the console has overcome its teething problems (does anyone even really remember the overheating problems anymore ?) and, most critically of all, it’s the only one you can actually walk into any given shop and be practically assured of securing.
