Hi,
I am really curious as to why there are some on this board who want to see the XBox fail or any console for that matter. I have never been able to understand this concept.
I hope the next console, who ever makes it, will be better than the last. I own a PS2 and a Dreamcast and have owned many systems from different companies over the years. I also orderd an XBox. I just want the best games to play and I don\'t care if it comes from MS or Sony. If the Game Cube gives me good reason to buy it I will.
So, is it because you don\'t have the cash (not trying to be funny) or is it because you don\'t like the company for some reason?
What do you think will happen if Sony is the only one left standing?

I don´t like the x-box, because it is made by Microsoft, I don´t like that company. I have had very bad experience with their products. They act like they own the world. But now Microsoft has to jump on the videogame-train because they are losing the war against linux bigtime. The way they treat their costumers is pathetic.
I´m sorry but I can´t like anything that MS creates, and I will not buy anything from them as long as there products sucks.

I think ya\'ll know where I stand :rolleyes: :shy:

So MS is the enemy because they dominate a certain part of the computer market?

i dont understand why microsoft is hated so much when the majority of those haters, PIRATE their software...yeah windows is limited and IE is limited, and we have to succomb to microsofts monopoly, but were not paying for windows 2k or ME or XP..so why complain...it bothers me so much when people complain about free stuff.....and bossieman: if you actually buy microsofts products then you have everyright to complain, otherwise, save your hatred cause its not worth it...the xbox could be a kickass console meaning better games for us all to enjoy...

I\'m pro xbox, but I can\'t see it do succesfully in europe and japan
-
I think it\'ll do ok here in Europe but Japan is another matter.

maybe, with the ps2 price drop and insiders saying that xbox will be 1000 guldens ($ 399 us) and being released in 2002 I can\'t see much hope. NGC will outsell it here in holland for sure
-
I\'m not sure how it will do here, or overseas. I just find it funny that there are people who want to see it fail because the word Microsoft will be placed on the console. And this goes for other systems, I am sure there are Sony haters who like to see the PS2 fail.

well i cal those people biased mostly or very ignorant
i mean think about it - i could see hating microsoft and what not but no one forces you to buy their products or use them for that matter
now if the xbox comes out and sucks then yea you can hate it all you want but till then you are just a biased person
-
Don\'t like MS, but... competition is good. so.........

You guys are making no sense.
Everyone hates MS because it is cool to do so. If you were Bill Gates you would conduct business in the exact same way. Who wouldn\'t.
Just because Gate is an excellent businessman people hate him.
MS is not losing aginst Linix. When was the last time you heard anything about linix in the mass media? It hasn\'t caught on and it will achieve Apple proportions at best. Is it a better OS? No, not yet because of the support issues, but it does many other things very well. But one thing is for sure, MS is not losing the war.
When Netscape was dominating the marketplace--no one complained. They had a monopoly. Enter MS and their incredibly better browser and it takes over. Sure they stole a lot of the ideas that Netscape invented, but they improved on them and made browsing the internet better/easier (not to mention web designers loath to work on netscape).
People hate Gate because they are jealous of his success and it is cool to do so. That\'s pretty much it.
-
But why don\'t you like MS?
Will not liking their OS or other software package they sell going to keep you from buying the XBox?
I agree you should probably take a wait and see attitude. I am just a freak about this stuff so I usually preorder.

Watchdog,
I wanted to say it but you beat me to it. You hit the nail right on the head.

I have no problems with Microsoft, I am excited for X-Box because I play videogames and not brand names.

Oh how can anyone not like xbox if they never played it before? That doesn\'t make sense. :thepimp: :thepimp: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

"I´m sorry but I can´t like anything that MS creates, and I will not buy anything from them as long as there products sucks."
Erm. So you cannot buy MS games because MS products suck and as long as they suck you will not buy them but they will always suck because you can\'t like anything that MS creates. Circular thinking at its most frighting. :)

I\'ll tell you why people want xbox to fail. Its fear people fear a threat to there current system. M$ has the money and power to overtake sony and nintendo. So far the xbox is pretty well recieved in the U.S. with the preordered selling out and all. Now the proablem is will japan welcome the xbox to the videogame market? People know xbox is a threat to nintendo and sony and a big one at that. Its fear....................its fear. Thats why people want it to fail.
-
Though I\'m not a big fan of MS (since they dominated the OS industry), that doesn\'t mean I want the Xbox to fail. I see promise in the Xbox, and hope it succeeds like the GC.
However, I really hate the Xbox fanboys though. Arrogent, extremely bias, and just plain stupid. This is why you probably won\'t see me support the Xbox as much. That doesn\'t mean I think the Xbox won\'t be great on its own mine you. Just that, I don\'t want to be pared with these fanboys.
-
Im pro any system before it comes out, but if it does ****ty, dont be suprised if I bash it

Xbox is cool. MS is cool! It is stupid when peopel say MS treats them like crap. They don\'t and you know it. Everythign will ahve bugs. Persianlly our Windowas 95 still has never crashed. We\'ve had this comp since \'96.
Bye!

All I know is that if it wasn\'t for Microsoft I couldn\'t put food on the table.
Thats what is important not this biased crap. Linux doesn\'t make anyone rich these days, don\'t believe me? visit slashdot and find out yourself.
Sony hasn\'t done anything positive for me but cost me money for poor products and then they lie about it. 17 Million PS2\'s have been shipped not sold and out of those that do get sold get sold again because they work like crap.
In purchasing a PS2, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a bad product and Sony brainwashes a lot of people on here that can\'t see their toes because they are blind.
The only good thing about Sony\'s monopolies is that they have a chance to help my company that I work for. :)
The next time I email J Allard, I am going to tell him to make sure the marketing department does what sony does and puts out the shipping numbers. Microsoft should match sony\'s propaganda in one year or less...
Sony is ahead of everyone else when it comes to HOT AIR. Even Microsoft comes far short in that category.

Is it just me, or is Docwiz a little bitter against Sony? ;)
Thats what is important not this biased crap. Linux doesn\'t make anyone rich these days, don\'t believe me? visit slashdot and find out yourself.
Of course we believe you Docwiz. We are not idiots. One thing that Linux is known for is being free (the other thing is being stable ;)).
Sony hasn\'t done anything positive for me but cost me money for poor products and then they lie about it. 17 Million PS2\'s have been shipped not sold and out of those that do get sold get sold again because they work like crap.
Umm, Sony announced 17 million have been shipped, not sold. Don\'t bash Sony for other people claiming it was 17 million sold.
In purchasing a PS2, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a bad product and Sony brainwashes a lot of people on here that can\'t see their toes because they are blind.
Wow, I like those odds! ;) Seriously though, where the heck did you pull that number out of?
The next time I email J Allard, I am going to tell him to make sure the marketing department does what sony does and puts out the shipping numbers. Microsoft should match sony\'s propaganda in one year or less...
So first you bash Sony for doing it, then you say you will do it. Correct me if I\'m wrong, but I think that would classify you as a hypocryte.
Sony is ahead of everyone else when it comes to HOT AIR. Even Microsoft comes far short in that category.
Boy oh boy, is there a fan in here? Because it\'s getting a little windy. (I\'ll let you figure that one out.)

bloodknight2, so why do you want the Xbox to fail? Because it\'s a great console? I don\'t understand your reasoning.
-
most of the ppl that want to see ms fail are gaming rookies there first console was the psx and there second console was the ps2. Or psx is there favorite console of all time and now they have there ps2.
I don\'t see how any one who calls themself and true gamer would want to see any company fail. More gaming companies will produce more variety of games and toughens competition which will produce better quality of games.
And that makes QuDDus a happy camper:)

i think his reasoning is more geared towardfs thefact that Microsoft are dominating the PC market,, and used what ever means necessary to do so, and decide they want a slice (prolly more like the whole thing) of theConsole market pie, and will use thesame underhanded tactics to do so :) i think
:fro: toot on

PSX is my favorite console of all time, and I don\'t wish doom and damnation on XBox.
Generalize me again and I\'ll rip your lungs out:)

:rolleyes:
Just for ****s and giggles I would kinda like to see that.
