Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
15 hours 7 mins ago
According to GamerDeals, Microsoft has lost it's mojo after many downfalls, the top three being: All the Xbox 360 hardware failures, E3 2007 wasn't so good to them and Peter Moore leaving Microsoft. Microsoft seemed like it could easily take out the PS3 with a head start and some nifty games, but now, it's seems to be lagging, the Nintendo catching up quickly, the PS3 slowing gaining.
In the pursuit to topple the Playstation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 seemed to be on the right course. A full one year head start combined with some killer games lifted the Xbox 360 quickly into the #1 next generation console slot. Gears of War proved to be the 2006 holiday hit that hardcore gamers craved, but since then a string of bad news have stung the software giant from Redmond.
The Big Three include:
Xbox 360 Hardware Failures
A chorus of gamer polls and angry message board posts came to a head when one week prior to E3, Microsoft admitted that the Xbox 360 hardware was failing at unacceptable levels and announced a 3 year warranty extension for the dreaded 3 red lights hardware message.
E3 2007
Good games releasing this year were shown but the Resident Evil 5 re-announcement, Scene-it trivia game, and special edition Halo 3 Console announcements fell flat.
Peter Moore bolts to head up the EA Sports division
The figure head that Xbox 360 fan boys and Xbox division employees loved to rally around has left the building.

FPS does indeed have a huge fanbase...me being one of them. Sony has my favorite genre down-pact, though, RPG's, and Nintendo carries on strong with their classic characters and adventure games.
I was Sega back in battle. Sega Dreamcast = Pwnsauce.
It is indeed a bad run but i'm sure they'll fight back, they are still very much in the lead as far as i'm concerned.
