I'm curious how many people would trust MS to get the build quality thing right the next time around. Would you buy the 720 (or whatever its called) after all of the hubbub concerning the 360 build issues?

Please don't answer the poll if you don't have an Xbox and you would never buy one.

Didn't the same thing happen with Sony and the PS2? Both companies handled the situation very differently. Sure I would buy it if and when they decide to launch. Thats what options for service plans are for just in case situations. May be hard to believe but not everyone has experience the build issues with disc trays or RROD.

Honestly, per the board rules I'd rather not start making system comparisons in this thread. Thanks.

With the thread? I'm curious how much the build quality issues (or even perception of them) might influence future buying decisions on the Xbox platform. Just like I said in the original thread.

This isn't an MS bashing thread. THe build quality issues are well known. No argument there. The question is how do those issues influence trust in the brand.

I don't believe you would make a thread to bash the system or MS. The thing is doesn't the sales answer your question from hardware to software sales. Especially after this past summer about the 1billion.

The console continues to sale.
The software continues to sale higher than all the other consoles.

Wouldn't the question be better suited when we actually know when the next system actually comes out?

I brought up the PS2 for the fact that the situation was the same. Hell I can say the same thing about the Sony SXRD XBR1 and that display was 4-5 grand and was one of the top selling displays and since the displays continue to one of the best sellers even with the green blob issue still going on(now in court)

I would, but not on launch day.

Sales talk quickly devolves into fanboy flaming. Something I want to keep out of this thread.

To keep this on topic. So far more people are saying they would buy on day 1. Not terribly surprising to me. Anecdotally, Xbox has a rabid loyal fanbase.

If there are launch games I want to play, I'll buy the system. If not, I'll wait.

Nobody knows how good a system is going to be until months after launch, so waiting for doom is nonsense.

Which wasn't the point of my post. Before you edited your post you wrote to claim I started console wars in other threads which I actually don't or actually point me to what you edited about saying.

Point taken. Back on topic.

I expect that MS will learn their lesson and build the next right from day one. if not, the have already shown that they are willing to fix them for free, so yes I would buy one on launch day,

That certainly didn't hurt their cause.

I enjoy debating quality control issues for hypothetical products which won't be released this decade.

Pretty funny, but as an audio/video enthusiast, I actually do enjoy discussing this kind of thing.

Yes, but it is hard to get any real facts on this and it is a gaming forum after all. That and there are too many variables. Some people lock their 360's in a unit with very little air flow and are surprised when it over-heats.

Others have had their 360 since launch day (like myself). Of course I keep it in a separate air controlled room with the rest of my equipment. Makes you wonder..

Bottom line, this poll proves nothing. People who have had serious issues will vote one way, people who haven't will vote the other way. It's always the people who have gone through hell who will voice their opinions the loudest. Who can blame them.

Those who are busy playing their 360's won't even blink.
