What up Billy boy??
« on: March 15, 2002, 12:23:29 PM »
I know this is not funny, but I really finds it very funny. A total flop in Japan and another one coming in Europe?!!!!!!!!?
Well, what did we say a year back?? I can´t see MS beating Sony this generation, call me a fanboy I don´t care. I think MS have smoked their last joint for this generation. Mr Billy can sit home and wonder "What happened??!?! I had a superior console!"
Did he think everyone could afford 480US$ for a x-box??? The humans on this planet doesn´t have billion  of dollars to buy stuff.
What did Billy think of??
Well THIS year they will win E3!!! This year. Millions of consumers will be totally amazed by the "MS-30fps-patent".

Oh, but didn\'t you hear? The Xbox is smash success in Japan and so far it\'s taken Europe completely by storm. There\'s no stopping MS!! Well, at least according to those poor misguided souls over at Team Xbox anyhow. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I can\'t believe you made a new thread just to say that, you are one sad human if that is all you have to do with your time!:mad:
Also why do you find it funny that a console MIGHT fall, you can\'t like games very much then, if you think it is funny that a great one like the Xbox might not be around very long.

And why do you keep going on about the price? the PS2 was the same price when it launched!
So once the Xbox price falls, then we will see how it does, also have you played games like Rallisport, or JSRF, these are some of the best games i have ever played.
Ps2 had a good year last year for games, but i really don\'t see anything that great this year, if you could name a few that would be great, so i can look out for them.
But Xbox is the New kid on the block, you have to give it some time, PS1 only took off once the price drops kicked it, and don\'t say it shot off the shelves when it was full price because it didn\'t, i got my PS1 after the first price drop and i had no trouble getting, but once the secound price drop hit, you couldn\'t find one any where in the UK, so until the Xbox starts getting a price drop, i am not saying one word on how it will do.

Also people say that the Xbox is to big for japanese people and that they like smaller things, well if that is the case, then why is the GC selling so bad, you can\'t get a much smaller console then that!

Right i am finshed now, sorry for that people, just a few words i had to say.

Here\'s an interview--they never expected to sell anymore than that.  They\'ve always said it was a long term commitment and presence.  If the N64 is any evidence, a system/comapny can survive so long as it\'s successful in one major market.

And yes, I will take this time to call you a fanboy.

The N64 survived beacuse 80% of all the games sold were first party!

Thats the problem, sega did not use its major franchises on the DC (no VF, no Offline Phantasy Star, etc)

For some reason people did not want to buy sega games..

wow.. I did not know they had a VF on the DC
but, the offline (and online IMO) experience in PS was complete crap...

Nintendo games have always sold better then Sega games..
Sega has only had one million seller, VF. And Sonic (Cause it was bundled with the system)

Richard Teversham: The interesting thing is to think that how much these first wave of games utilise Xbox... we\'ll make up a number, say 30 to 40 per cent of the capabilities, but you\'ve still got so much potential. Imagine what waves two, three, four and five are going to be like. Imagine what the online capabilities are going to be like, imagine when they really start to utilise the hard disk. The world is our oyster! If you look at the competing machine\'s first generation games, they\'re probably using around 80-90 per cent of the capabilities and we\'re already beating the competition visually on our first round.


This guy\'s an idiot. Just had to say that.

Not that most of you guys will care, but i think i am leaving these forums now, i can\'t take it any more, when i first joined these forums things were great around here, but it seems to have done down hill big time, which is a shame, because i loved coming to these foums each day, but hey good things don\'t last forever.

And see ya mm, we had some good arguments, but you always seemed to have a problem with me and i just wondered why that was?

SEE YA AROUND PEOPLE AND ENJOY YOU GAMES, NO MATTER WHAT NAMES ARE ON THEM!!
