Microsoft Is Known For Making Quality Games Consoles

The XBox 360 is no exception to this rule. Honestly, beyond its fantastic game library or the sheer processing power it has in its hardware you can pin down exactly why people have such an enjoyable experience on it for just one reason - XBox Live. I speak with some experience of working in a circuit board assembly line (calibrating hexagonal spacers). As opposed to the Wii or the PS3, XBox Live is well-moderated, its apps are clean and less pricey, and the connectivity is, has, and will always be lag-free. Also unlike Sony, the private details of all of its members has not been released yet and you can bet Microsoft pays a fair amount of attention to detail in that regard, especially given that security is a big factor in these things nowadays. Unrelated to all of these however is its LAN play, specifically being able to hook up multiple systems locally on 2 TV's. Online gaming for all of its virtues doesn't quite capture the experience of being able to directly mock your friend (amicably, of course!) when he's right next to you and being able to see his face when you frag grenade him into submission.
