If you’re planning to buy a console this holiday season, you need to know a few things about the best consoles that can help you decide which console to buy. This article will review a top video game console called the Microsoft Xbox 360. This will show you some of the strengths and weaknesses of this console that can greatly affect the way you play the game.
Xbox 360 is developed by a software giant called Microsoft. This is their second console after an aggressive attempt to break into the gaming industry in 2002. Using Microsoft’s vast resources, Xbox was able to rise to the top and even knock Sega out of the competition.
One of the reasons this console was an instant hit with gamers is because of its phenomenal game called Halo. Personally, I think Microsoft won’t survive the competition if it’s not for this game. Halo is a first-person shooter game that allows players to compete with other Xbox players over an open network called Xbox Live. This is also the reason why Microsoft was able to establish its name as the console for hardcore gamers who prefer first-person shooter games.
Microsoft also has excellent third-party support from game developers, giving the console a plethora of playable games. We know that third-party companies contribute greatly to the success of a console and this is why Xbox was able to compete with gaming giants Nintendo and Sony.
Unfortunately Xbox is more focused on hardcore gamers and this is their biggest weakness. Casual gamers may find this console uninteresting because most of the games it offers are not suitable for families.
These are some of the main advantages and disadvantages of Microsoft Xbox 360. Stay tuned for the next article as I will be talking about PlayStation 3 which is another superior gaming console.
