baaah

yeah, thats what the nintendo sheep at n64central.com used to say

I don\'t excatly want to see Microsoft really fail to say the least. I want to see them compete and be challenged, verses their position operating system market, there really isn\'t any big competition aside from the US government..

What I\'m pointing out and making it very clear is that Microsoft had a killer system, it was released 2 days before GameCube debuted, so there was some competition during that weekend. It had the best "on paper" specs, it offered superior power and flexibility verses the GameCube in some areas.

What bothers me, is that I think Microsoft had the thought of coming out with a bang and had the idea in mind that it will slash sales instantly of PS2 and eventually the GameCube futher on. When the quotas were in, sales of PS2\'s still remained strong and GameCube\'s still sold strong.

Microsoft\'s launch, lets call it decent at best. Yes, I know Halo was their flagship title that was expected to sell Xbox\'s. But one game can\'t do that. It\'s like 5-6 AAA titles, and a follow up in a month or so with some more AAA titles. Microsoft\'s developers failed to produce solid AAA titles in the coming months. I believe that was critical mistake, flaw, whatever you want to call it.

And to add to all this, they got their top heads jumping ship due to Microsoft\'s position. Now, not everyone who jumps ship can be recalled back to the Xbox, but as of late, the more money Microsoft loses, the more people they loose, and that kinda fits together, no?

imagine if halo was never released for xbox

*shudder*

Your mindless bashing is becoming rediculas. Many others like me happen to like games  such as Doa3, NFL fever, project gotham, mad dash racing, jsrf, silent Hill 2 RD just to name a few.

It\'s getting real rediculas seeing all this mindless xbox bashing. When there are other good games on the system. When ps2 had no games for six months after release nobody was bashing ps2 like this but idiots.

And it would be real stupid to bash any console that has just started and we all can see that it has limitless potential to bring great games this generation. The bashing is just stupid. Anyone can go into a store and buy as ps2,xbox, or gamecube. You don\'t have to be rich to afford one.

Some of you act like it\'s a secret club owning one of these console. Well it\'s not!!!!!!!!!

Umm come on give me some credit. I would never mention that console. You have not seen me mention that console once on this board. My thing is how come no american console can succeed in japan?

I mean xbox is a good console. I could see if it were a peace of crap, but it\'s not. The system is good and should not be sinking in japan like the next atari jaguar.

QuDDus Please (to get back on the Freacking topic) could you provide this evidence of a Japanese Bias to all things American ?

*edit*

i Said REAL evidence from a REAL American Console other than the X box!

the Jaguar was just Atari\'s version of the 3DO

Key for ya

Real American Consoles
X box

Wanabie American "consoles"
Jaguar
3DO

personally, i have nothing against the xbox, of course you know i own one and certainly paid nowhere near retail for it

but anyhoo, we bash the xbox insistantly not to make fun of the big black box itself, but at the zealots like docwiz and reverandxbox [and the rest]  who guaranteed us it was "teh PS2 killah"

we can dance, and sing, and pay servitude to ourselves all day long

are you saying XBox is in similar circumstances as PS2 was, therefore, theorhetically it could be as successful as the PS2?  :rolleyes:

naah...don\'t extrapolate what you want from a simple true statement...
..."a lot of Sega fans said the same about PS2 two years ago"...

Some people are also forgetting that PS2 was launched in 2000 without any real competition. N64 was dying, Sega\'s Dreamcast didn\'t really stand much of a chance to PS2 in terms of fanbase, so it had a successful launch no matter how you want to look at it. PS1 still produced revenue for Sony regardless if PS2 was on the back burner, and Sega really didn\'t have any answer for PS1.

Xbox (newcomer) launches right when NGC releases (competition) and PS2 is at it\'s prime. PS2 still sells strong even through the launch of both consoles.

Theres the low-down on "Sony\'s success." So not many can really complain about Sony\'s period of lack of AAA titles, because again, they had fanbase and PS1 still powering them, and Sega/Nintendo didn\'t really "threat" the empire.

I sure wouldn\'t have one.

Now, now, mm, lets tell the truth. I have never seen someone delight in their hatred for a system and company. I have to question why you would buy one (even at a really low price) if you hate it so much.

I\'m really curious as to how you would like to see the videogame landscape in the next five years.

XBox is overpriced, even though it offers:

BBA
Hard Drive
4 controller ports
updated graphics.

for the same price as PS2. old hardware. 2 ports, needs memory cards, etc, etc, etc.

Halo has many great titles, IMO. People must be forgetting Rallisport Challenge, GUNVALKYRIE, JSRF, NBA2K2 (best version of it), Halo, Munch (has awards for it\'s excellent AI), etc.


Quit hating. Why do people ***** about XBox when GC could easily be considered a much bigger waste of time in the states. I mean, it has 2 titles that are exclusive to the system that are truly great. The system right now is worthless and will collect dust unless you are really desperate to play Bond, or **** like that.

Whatever. Haters. XBox will have the most immersive Winter. Project Ego, Panzer O, and Shenmue II.

Who needs another console after these games, not even counting the network.
