The xbox online community is bigger, louder and and better with chatter constantly going on. Ok I know there is trolls and bad language in the Call of duty games but that isn't exclusive to xbox. Games like Halo and forza have very good online communities that encourage good behaviour and team work. The fact that they give you more points and higher score for co-operative within these games shows this. I know Killzone has a clan system but you still feel lonely in the game and working on your own. Xbox these feeling is never there and you feel like you are in a team.
4. Early and exclusive access.
Ok xbox doesn't have the biggest exclusive catalogue, but they do have access to dlc, games and franchises prior to anyone else. Games like Mass effect, Bioshock, Dead rising and Minecraft all had first console release on the Xbox. Call of duty gives all rights to DLC access to xbox first. Not only games but the MLB and NFL give exclusive apps to xbox so you can watch live games via the xbox. Plus N64 classic only available through xbox arcade like Banjo kazooie and perfect dark great games always worth a play.
3. Accessibilty
Let's count the ways I can increase my trophy count ps3, psp vita ps4, Lets do gamerscore on xbox 360, my phone, my laptop, tablet, and xbox one. and you can use the same items to talk and message friends on xbox live. You don't need an xbox for an xbox account and you can increase your gamerscore without ever touching an xbox controlller in your life. Most of my latest gamerscore has come from playing on my laptop and games on my phone. I can even message my friends on my friend list without an xbox including party chat. So paying for it doesn't seem so bad given all the choices you have to connect to your friends and your account. You don't need windows 8 or an xbox to do it either I started doing it on vista. Unfortunately Sony hasn't got anything that comes to close to this kind of accessibilty.

| Boosting your gamerscore xbox free |
Ok the playstation can do this just not during gameplay. I know some of you may complain but it gets in the way of the story, yet most cutscenes cut out the music and plays on with out it and resumes after it has finished. Playing music during online games is a big thing for me, (no I don't play it down the head set) because it helps me relax and have enjoyable game. Sometimes the music you chose can even change the pace of the game something like fallout 3 which has a good music selection definitely changes pace soon as you start playing Iron maiden instead.
1. Impact on the gaming culture.
Not since Nintendo have we seen a game console make such an impact on the scenery it self. With halo being a household name and an extensive back story and universe. Let alone all the comics, novels and toys that came out as well. Gears of war also coming close with its own line of comics. Playstation hasn't had much luck with it's uncharted or god of war comics, but xbox has. It is continuing a trend of marketing in almost every type of medium when a halo game is released it comes with a toyline and comic book series. Though it previously published by the one of big names marvel has now gone to dark horse it has the big names attached such Micheal brian bendis. Mcfarlane toys making the action figures and now mega blocks has a line out there is little where microsoft isn't on a label this also includes a nintendo ds game made by microsoft studios. There is no mistaking it Xbox is here and it is here to stay.
