Somebody botched the call...
Early Impressions (http://news.com.com/2061-11199_3-5960385.html?part=rss&tag=5960385&subj=news)
Not all bad, but come on Microsoft, this is disapointing, even for you.
-
microsoft can\'t do anything, PS3 is right around the corner, and the market knows it
-
I wouldn\'t call 2007 "right around the corner".
-
2007 will be here before you know it
especially for japanese gamers
-
Until Xmas 06, patient gamers will have a considerable spending budget.
By that time we will also know more about what all parties can bring to the table. Basically, my PStwo, Xbox and PC have another year of life in them.
I see a nice game like PGR3 in stores \'now\', but that\'s certainly not enough to go and buy a new console.
-
Man, I would rather Sony wait untill 2007 and they take there time to release the machine they hype.
I also think it would be better if MS and Sony split console cycles runs at every 2 1/2 - 3 years, but thats an unlikely scenario.
-
There\'s another competitor in 2006.....
the PC !
the new videocards in 06 will show their force, so MS will have to make sure anything on Xbox360 will look at least as good as what that Geforce 512 or Radeon1800XT PE card can push.
It\'s a fight for consumers\' budgets ; an upgraded pc plus xbox360 gamepad pc version Versus Xbox360 itself....

This doesn\'t make sense. The PC was always there and they barely or even have any effect on console sales.
There was never a console more powerful than a PC, even at launch.
-
well, there are ppl who will debate wether their holiday money will goto Xbox360 or that new GF7800GTX 512...
-
We are the minority.

Crackhead.
The PC is no competition. It is a different beast altogether and people don\'t typically buy $500 dollar videocards for x-mas. PC gaming is a breed of it\'s own and should have no mention in this thread.
Oh and Xbox 360 launch = failure by all accounts. It was rushed. They announced the system, next thing you know there is a release date and now the suppose killer apps are either bein\' delayed at last moment or not even goin\' thru testing.
-
And the name sucks. 360 wtf is that suppose to mean?
YOU\'RE GOING IN CIRCLES MS MAKE UP YOUR GOD DAMN MIND.

Maybe for Jap gamers but I have yet to hear one single person talk about the PS3 when determining their decision to buy a 360.
-
ignoring it maybe?
i\'ve seen it everywhere
-
yea..everyone iv asked about it have said "i dunno if im going to break down and buy the xbox 360..but im definitly getting the ps3." including me..except without the "breaking down and buying the 360" part.

lol yea, it just goes in one ear and out the other for me. More like not everyone is on Sony\'s junk like you, especially after how well Xbox did.
And why would something that comes out well over a year later affect a purchase now? Hell you don\'t even know what exactly is gonna be ready for PS3 by then. Hopefully this time around they\'ll atleast be able to put together something that resembles good online gaming.
-
I don\'t think they can do it. That Ken dude sounds like an arrogant arsehole who\'s all talk and no walk.

considering all the xbox 360 games are getting such mediocre reviews, i wouldnt be surprised people will think the ps3 has "more time" to make better games when it comes out.
sidenote: are ps3 games going to be 60 bucks too? kinda ghey..
-
Wait, the Xbox did well? What were its sales compared to PS2\'s again?

Wait a second, thats whats supposed to matter to the company. I didn\'t know you had something invested on the console other than it being fun. :rolleyes: Think before you post please.
And I\'m not saying the 360 launch is anything special. I\'m not going out and buying one but depending how the next 6 months go I know the PS3 being way down the road wouldn\'t affect my purchse of a fun console. I don\'t have something to prove by sticking with Company A or Company B.

For the love of god hurricane, change your goddamn avatar, its fucking annoying.

yea..i dont get why you have jamal lewis, hines ward, and eric moulds in your patriots avatar..you should put the people they beat in it er something relevent..and no they wont 3-peat :D
-
Changed...
Oh and, sales were just one thing. I\'ll give you that on a personal level they don\'t matter.
But there were those oh so memorable XBox titles... :rolleyes:
I\'m not saying PS2\'s were anything great, to be honest my favorite games were on the Cube. But let\'s not glorify the XBox here Bizio, it didn\'t exactly bring anything new to the table. The 360 doesn\'t appear to be making any strides either...
-
The only online setup out of a console thats worth a damn isn\'t something?
-
not when you have to pay for it. I dont expect amazing online stuff..but i play online fine..i go on madden, hook online, challenge, connect, and play. No bells and whistles. You get what you pay for so id expect xbox live to be flawless.
-
Hahaha, theirs always something to cling to. Well you have fun with your very poor but free online play while I\'ll pay less than 14 cents a day for Live.
-
*****THERE\'S****
/me stab bozco in the eye
-
haha cut me some slack, it\'s past 4 in the morning here and I\'ve been doing homework all night.
-
Wouldn\'t that make you LESS likely to have errors then?

when a paltry 10% of all xbox users took advantage?
xbox even break 15mil worldwide?
:rofl:
-
Because how many people that bought the console and how many people that subscribed to live really affected me.
mm your word of the week is "relevance"
-
if a userbase and subscription percentage don\'t make you a success then what does?
-
Because how many people that bought the console and how many people that subscribed to live really affected me.
actually...it did
how many kids called you \'thier bitch\' in the robot voice
:lmao:

Oh forget the niceties....Xbox 360 sucks.
To the point. No foreplay. No teasing. No flirting. Just in your face, up the pooper, wham-bam-thankyou-ma\'am.

Beh ! Threads like these exist for \'fun\'. They are also very prematurely.

Heheh, no.. i meant \'prematurely\' as in ; the fact that it\'s way too early say wether Xbox360 has succeeded or flopped ... because usually that\'s what such threads usually tend to rapidly evolve into ; premature judgements.

This is exactly how you looked as you unzipped THX\'s pantaloons.

I played it on saturday and wasn\'t all that impresssed. It was probably the game. The game was terrible. Shitty graphics, really jagged edges, physics sucked. I hope they really do better (and I\'m sure they will).
-
They were supposed to send Need for Speed with it but he recieved Kameo instead. Turns out they\'re gonna give him both, the Need for Speed is just coming in a couple weeks. Kameo so far is a lot of fun, don\'t know how long it is though.
-
I\'ll pick mine up in the morning, but my HDTV won\'t arrive until next week.
I stopped off at Walmart before work tonight, and there had to be 250 people in line.
I\'m LMAO, cause I figured maybe 20 people will get one, the rest are just wasting there night.

I remember the dark grey dev kits from my time at the gamestudio, but this pic just looks so Apple Mac-ish.
