10 Reason why 7 why not to buy 360; Here we go.

I'll start with the Pros here are some reason to buy the 360, I actually can't think of 10 things, if anyone wants to help me out go for it, for now I'm gunna stick with 5.

5. You have the most powerful home console to date.
4. Here comes another Halo game
3. Beautiful Hd graphics
2. Cheaper then the PS3 which will be hitting in November.
1. Xbox Live

Heres some reasons not to buy a 360.

10. Revolution will have graphics that are slightly inferior for half the price
9. The fact that for a 360 that actually works you have to shell out 400 bucks and 60$ for new games.
8. The games look great, but lack content. One example is Fifa:Road to the World cup, which has less content then the DS version and dosen't actually let you play in the world cup.
7. The Ps3 will be slightly better then the Ps3 in terms of games as well as graphics.
6. Very very very limited backward compatability.
5. Smells like burnt carpet, especially when it does burn your carpet.
4. Microsoft's answer to the PS3 is not a new Halo, but Viva Pinata
3. Microsoft's dev teams are incredibly slow
2. The price of Xbox live will be rising soon
1. Even after you shell out 400 for a premium 360 you still need to pay for Xbox live and buy an external HD-DVD drive just to be able to play the good games that aren't very pretty versions of their greater current gen brothers.

the only reason i would buy one cause the graphics, but the cost!!!! GAH!!! sure the revs graphics wont be as good, but very close to it... and the 360's price is doubled of what the revs cost will be ;), not to bring back the live, and other things that it should come with... Wi-Fi for the rev, i think its going to be better then xbox live, but not 360 live ;), so yea...

another thing is WFC is free and is pretty good okay worth being free, while XBL is anything but free and the price is going to be on the rise not only because of the downloadable content, but because MS wants to make alil bread.

yes, but xbox live is so good, it should be payed for, what bums me out if the friend codes for wi-fi... i wish you could talk to rivals, and random people, talk in the game while fighting, more then battle mode for wi-fi, and invites for friends, other then going through the trouble of typing in the friend code

Well I think most of that is because its a handheld and because it's their first time. another thing is, I really do feel a lot more people will have WFC rather then XBL in the long run. Look at where this crappy watered down version of the WFC is right now, imagine the real one.

its going to be great, but i like xbox games better cause theres more action in it, and fps's... nintendo was wise to make metroid, cause thats what makes almost the most money these days, cause mario is getting overused and he shall die... of over working... wi-fi will suck if it keeps going the way it is now... :(

Well theres a few FPS launch titles, from what i hear Metroid is one, then theres Red Steel, not to mention that Brothers in arms might actually make a stop on REV if they can get the Unreal engine 3 working.

Hmmm well Metroid is good, they could definately do more with Geist (which it looks like they will) and being that they created the REV controller expect a few more, as for RPG, well they rely mostly on their hallmark characters, Super Mario RPG comes to mind, but if you're ok with Strat then you've got Fire Emblem.

In terms of nintendo made games I don't see an end to them coming. As of now we alredy know of a new Mario game, a new Metroid, a new Animal Crossing, a new Super smash Bros, a new Donkey Kong, and a new Zelda headed to Revolution at one time or another. They also promised new titles and franchises. Not only that, but they have much better relationships with 3rd parties now, so expect Activision, Ubisoft, Square-Enix, Konami, Capcom, Midway and EA to also make more games.

But to answer your Question of the three titles

Brothers in Arms & Red Steel are by Ubisoft
Metroid Prime is handeled by Retro studio which is part of nintendo.

Also this is pure rumor, but don't sleep on a modern version of duckhunter or don't doubt a very cool control scheme for Starfox

Oh, and Grasshopper, which is part of Capcom, is promising another game, you should know them for Killer 7

And the control would be perfect for House of the dead from Sega, which is close to nintendo.
