No Flopping
« on: April 11, 2002, 03:31:11 AM »
I don\'t think Xbox will flop. They got some solid games for Xbox. But I don\'t think they can compete with PS2. PS2 has better games. The graphics of Xbox may be a little better than PS2 but it is mostly the games that make the system. In a year or so I think every one will see if Xbox will flop.

The X-Box won\'t flop. Them sales figures are from Japan remember and that says it all. They haven\'t even got Halo there.

The Japanese don\'t even care about FP games. I think that Halo and eventually Metroid Prime will fail there.

There were actually quite a few Japanese gamers that were anticipating HALO. I believe it was #17...

It wont be enough to give the Xbox an edge, though.

Nu: Well..

Biohazard fluctuated from #1 to #5 in the Top 10 most anticipated games in Japan, and it sold 150-200K.

I blame shortages for some of that performance.. but it goes to show you that a highly-anticipated game isn\'t necessarily going to do good. Remember that Biohazard was working with a 1.3 million userbase, while Xbox has under 200K people to sell Halo to.

Hehe, I didn\'t say that. ;)

I\'m just saying, if you put 2 and 2 together (FPS\'s + Japan) you get Halo being a so-so seller if not a flop.

Personally, I hope that Halo kicks ass over there so the Japanese can start embracing first-person adventures. If Halo does very well and sells 100K+ Xbox\'s, it might influence Japanese developers like Capcom, Konami, and Sega to make top-notch efforts in the genre.

Oh please would you shut up. So it\'s not even been there that long and you say it\'s over already. At least give the console a damn year to see how it does before you say it\'s over.

X-box has M$ backing it so it flopping is very unlikely. Also its been out for only 5 months... lets not jump to any conclusions.
