While I don't really like the way this article was presented (the lack of particular games, such as Legend of Zelda and Metroid, should have been combined into a single point), it does make some valid points.
I disagree with the comment they made on HD games. I don't think HD will go away, I think it will become a new standard. It will eventually stop being called HD because every TV and computer will incorporate it automatically.
However, I see very little that would prompt me to buy a 360. There is no unique point that the system has in its favor (because I really don't care about the HD graphics anywhere near as much as I care about the gameplay, characters, storyline, quality...). The X-Box had almost no quality games that you couldn't find on other systems, and I doubt that will change with the 360. The Playstation, on the other hand, has a firm hold on the FF series, which is reason enough to buy it right there, and Nintendo has a hold on all of its classics, such as Fire Emblem, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Mario... Unless Microsoft gets some a larger number of good games that aren't released for the other systems, I see no reason to spend $300-$400 on a 360.
