And, so, the XBox 360 was released to the general public and video gaming as we know it no longer exists.  And how does this end of good games go?  With resounding approval, high demand, and a ridiculously huge amount of hype.

Y'know what, Microsoft?  Screw you.  You have no need to be in the arena of games.  Stick to what you do best and work on OS's and Office programs.  Maybe if you weren't so damn focused on the 360 you could actually make a better Windows, one that could get approval of all users, Mac and Linux people especially.

But what do you people do?  Attempt to enter the realm of console gaming and appeal to people that normally don't play video games.  Do you know why appealing to them is bad?  Because you then get people playing games that they don't even realize are horrible; you can get away with making/releasing cut-and-paste-and-dry first person shooters that do basically nothing different than other first person shooters.  And so, you go on to release a whole bunch of crappy games, many of which are already out on other consoles, and attempt to make things look better.  Well, they look better, but y'know what?  Things are still better looking on the PC than the 360.

You may have Rare and you may have Tecmo.  But, y'know what?  I don't give a rat's patooty.  Have your DOA 4 360-exclusiveness.  Have your Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo.  I don't care.  Y'know why?  'Cause hyping about damn graphics gets you nowhere with me.  I'm going to just keep playing my Gamecube and PS2 (and eventually DS) and be perfectly happy because all of the systems previously mentioned have good games, like Final Fantasy, Mario-nigh-anything (Nintendo really does put a fair amount of effort into each of the Mario spin-off games; they just need to make an outright Mario game again), Shadow of the Colossus, Tales of Symphonia, Katamari Damacy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Castlevania, not to mention the countless no-news-but-awesome games that are on PS1 and PS2, like Vagrant Story.

Yes, I still play PS1 games.  Like a champ.  I still desire to play SNES games, as well as a few Game Boy games and Genesis games.  'Cause they were really good games.

What do you have to offer, Xbox 360?  Nuthin'.  A big whompin' load of crap.  I can see right through you, you big retardedly-successful marketing ploy.  You truly are the world's biggest scam now.

I can hope that you'll flop all I want.  Unfortunately, I know it won't happen, definitely not anytime soon.  Because people are dumb, and you find ways of exploiting that weakness like a champ.

So, here's the lowdown: 360, you can go to heck.  'Cause I'll be getting a PS3 (which is gonna be infinitely more gorgeous than you, Mr. 360) and a Revolution ('cause it's going to open a whole new level of gaming that couldn't even be imagined until now).  And everyone I tell outside of my job...I'll tell them that you are the worst console ever (I'd rather have a Virtual Boy than you), and that they should just wait it out for the PS3 and Revolution.

...Okay, I'm done now.

So, yeah.  If you truly value gaming, don't get a 360.  Get a PS3 or Revolution or both.  Let's get to work on trying to get Microsoft to leave the realm of gaming altogether.
