Xbox does have a few nice games. It even has a nice box. But the main problem is that little logo that says Microsoft.
Why would anyone who has been held with a gun to their head by Microsoft for the past couple decades give that company even one more cent?
It's not like there aren't plenty of decent games available on Playstation or Wii.
Besides, since when did Microsoft know how to build hardware? Oh yea, they didn't. Xbox is made in China.
