Nope ooseven:) PSX was the simplest piece of hardware compared to both Sega Saturn and Nintendo64 and still,it needed a lot of time(4-5 years) to be almost fully pushed(if you want,you could consider the PS2 architecture like the Saturn architecture and the XBox architecture like PSX architecture,with the difference that XBox is a lot more powerful in comparison to PS2 and has more features!-->and this makes it complex...) XBox is not so easy to be fully pushed,though it\'s easier to develop for than PS2!
XBox is a complex piece of hardware in a certain sense...the NV2a is a lot powerful and has a lot of features,plus the UMA architecture and the built-in HD(and this last one is another thing you have to worry about...if you wanna take advantage of it).
XBox is more powerful and has more things you have to worry about(if you wanna create a game which really takes advantage of each single spec of the XBox).
Now what was that we kept hearing from the MicroFlop Zelots ?
"the PS2 is hard to develop for which means developers will flock to the X box because its Easy to develop for "
oh and "just wait till E3 2001
and "just wait to the japanese launch"
:rolleyes:
Why you call XBox fans MicroFlop zealot? I\'m happy for what I\'ve seen at Launch,I\'m happy for what I\'m seeing now...there\'re interesting games coming out(they seem impressive,let\'s wait and see)...Project Ego,Brute Force,SegaGT2002(can\'t wait to see Ninja Gaiden,MGS2X,GP4,Doom3,etc)...it\'s only the beginning of this console...so...I really don\'t understand your useless sarcasm ooseven!
"the PS2 is hard to develop for which means developers will flock to the X box because its Easy to develop for "
That\'s what members like Hyper had been saying for months and months:)...
...devs can\'t ignore the huge PS2 user base(PS2 is 2 years old) and XBox needs time to reach a solid user base so that dev can give this new console the attention it deserves...the current situation won\'t and can\'t last for ever dear friends
