In the interest of fair play—or equal time?—here's a link to IGN's
top-10 reasons for buying an Xbox 360, to balance our earlier coverage of
their waiting-for-Revolution list.
PS3 fans left out of the console-list war can visit the "Ten Reasons to Wait for PS3" page
here (if they'd simply like to scroll through a bunch of
affirming reasons, too).
As for the buy-a-360 list we're focusing on now, some decent reasons for Xbox fealty are given, such as the smattering
of good games at launch (if not the best of all time, whether first-party or third), the XBL Marketplace, the combo of
Gamertag and Gamer Card, and system availability in stores now
(to
some extent). Other features cited are shared by the 360's console rivals to come, including wireless controllers,
downloadable games, and backward compatibility (with likely a more complete version of BC to boot). If these competing
considerations prove too much for Xbox fans to handle, perhaps there's another
site they might want to visit from time to time.
