The Xbox 360 just got released in the United States last November 22. I've not been able to post here because I've been following how the launch over at the US is going. So far, here's what I've been reading about:
1. Microsoft hasn't been meeting the demand for 360s...the demand is so high
2. There are claims of defects on the consoles, but lately I've noticed that the claims feel like they're fabricated for some motive (some of them are complaining about the simplest of issues, or don't even know what they're talking about)
3. The ones who should be happy about having a 360 are too busy complaining about the slightest jaggy. Sheesh, mankind should have been obliterated ages ago if we would just end up THIS whiny.
What do I think about the launch? For starters, because of the *shortage* over at the US, the local gaming outlet here isn't able to guarantee anything with regard to when and how they'll get the 360. That said, I've got money saved up and am prepared to get it as soon as it becomes available.
The launch has actually been very good for Microsoft despite the problems I've mentioned above. Generally people seem to be very happy with the 360 and the high number of launch titles (the largest in the history of console gaming!). The review scores for the games have been very good, and even a site as jaded as Gamespot awarded great scores to first party titles like Kameo and PD0!
Congratulations to Microsoft for a job well done.
