100% agree. The first games (and good ones) have been ported directly from PC to XBOX or developed by pre-done motors of PC games. When XBOX has 2 years and companies work with other processors... bye Bill.

Cause of the pricedrop.. then the next week it will probably sell back down to 2k
nothing new,  a US equvilate price drop of $80 gave the xbox 7k more users in a week, so impressive

Lets hope that\'s not going to happen. We all want good things to all consoles so gaming will get better and better.

I\'m sure everyone agrees with me. :)

That could be applied to all consoles after a price drop...so what?

and being that DOA3 is the only game propelling the Xbox in Japan, I would say that\'s damn impressive.

Oh dear, someone is going to have poop flung at them...

Once again, it\'s more X-Box\'s fault then Bethesda\'s.  The game was intended for PC, but $$$ got the best of Bethesda, so they changed it slightly so it would port to XB.

The PC version was great, very stable, addicting(especially for RPG lovers), and beatiful.  The X-Box turned it into a floppy, chugging, lower resolution game,  it\'s sad, X-Box isn\'t state of the art, nor was it ever.

I disagree like earlier...It was Bethesda\'s will to put the game on Xbox.  They coded the game, they ported it, and the final result could be from lazy programming or the Xbox just couldn\'t handle it.  Would you blame the PS2 for a sloppy version of Doom III (you know it wouldn\'t be the same as PC), or the developers?

And what is State of the Art, Billy?

X-Box might ne the most powerful console of this system, but it\'s just not the powerhouse it was cracked up to be.  The fact that it uses mostly computer components is the reason it\'s starting to show it\'s age.

You own a PS2, correct? Was the PS2 showing its\' potential within it\'s first year on the market?  I think it\'s just getting started...

I\'m giving the Xbox the same leanway...you disagree?
