I was originally going to post something about the New Xbox Live Experience and how cool it is or how much of a fanboy I am, but I figured that I would just tell that in one long run-on sentence that just won't seem to be going anywhere at first, but you will all see.
Phew.
Let us examine something. Microsoft has "fanboys". That statement is pretty monumental when you think about it. After all, it's MICROSOFT! Doesn't everyone hate them because they rule the computing world with a Monopoly like fist? Aren't they the harbingers of the Blue Screen of Death? Not to mention the myriad of issues with the Xbox 360 systems. Microsoft has only had 2 consoles to date. Sony has had 3 and Nintendo has had 5. It is understandable for people to have a deep devotion to one of those companies. They've been around forever and you've probably played/owned multiple consoles/handhelds from each of them. Microsoft comes on the scene in 2001 and by 2008 has a larger install base than Sony? WTF?! I think the fact that Microsoft has fanboys is awesome and shows what those people under Mr. Gates can do with a little bit of drive and need.

I'd mainly blame Sony for taking longer to make a system that was even more buggy than Microsoft's system (whose bugs were largely blamed on the push for an early release). That, and Microsoft has Halo, and Gears of War, and Bioshock, and Call of Duty... and we ain't got no PS2 memory cards.
I agree. I have been thoroughly impressed my MS's video game division. Much more than I thought I would be ten years ago.
