Why do people want Nintendo,Xbob, Ps2...

plenty of weight

when a new faster car comes out thats the same price as a two year old car, which sells better?

look, i dont want to get into yet another xbox vs PS2 debate

there both fine consoles, i just feel that xbox will never reach its potential and is not a threat to PS2

And I would agree with that, but knocking xbox because it hasn\'t outsold PS2 isn\'t fair.

The people who buy consoles aren\'t informed.  There are more things that go into a decision when buying a console than which is the best deal for your money.  Most of which have nothing to do with quality.

People, just buy the console for the games...if MS can get 3 top japanese RPG translated to the XBOX tomorrow, I\'ll be first in the line to buy one.

All consoles is a piece of useless silicon/plastic/metal/rubber junk without the games.

Software rules. Hardware sucks.

I was loyal to Sony until a few months ago when I thought ....Why ? ....Why do I need to limit myself to just one console and miss out on many other good games just because they were on another console ?   Its just plain stupid....
            My options were the GC ,Xbox or upgrading my PC....The style of game on the GC didn\'t really interest me... I wanted to play the more PC styled games and did not want to spend heaps on upgrading my PC ,so I bought an Xbox .
    At the moment I only have Halo ( which is pretty cool) and still play my PS2 way more then the Xbox ,but that doesn\'t bother me because there are heaps of very cool games coming soon for the Xbox (we\'re a little behind here in Australia ) and I know that I will spend alot of time playing these games as well as the PS2 games.....
   Dont buy into the hype that the Xbox is no good just because its made by Microsoft.... If you can afford more then 1 console ,get another one ...It will open up alot more games for you to play ,and alot more fun to be had .... And thats what its all about anyway isn\'t it ?

All Australians are losers :evil:

And Watchdog, I believe mm is referring mainly to current sales rather than which console has the most sales.  PS2 is still far outselling XBox.

Or at least thats what he implied by his car analogy.

Yeah, I know Bob.

I was saying that people are buying the PS2 not because it\'s superior but because of name recognition.  People buy what they\'re comfortable and familiar with.

If Coke came out with a car, I am certain that it would not out sell Gm, Honda, Ford, etc, regardless of the quality.  

MS knows this and has repeatedly stated this.  It\'s going to take time for MS to get a foothold in this industry.  MS is patiently looking to the furture, their online plans suggest this.

I know watchy.. i mis-interpretted your statement

MS is patiently looking to the furture

Hey look, it\'s another spin. :rolleyes:

M$ losing money turns into good thing they\'re spending it, now we know they care.:rolleyes:

I respect M$ in all of they\'re achievements, and I look foward to all of X-Boxes great games, but let\'s face it, X-Box was M$ biggest failure since Windows ME.  Watchdog is aparantly too blind to see this.

Why is xbox a failure?  It\'s outselling GC.  Is GC a failure too?  What constitutes a failure?

And it\'s not a spin.  DC is no more because Sega didn\'t have the cash, they ran out of money.  

It is a good thing that MS is willing to invest in xbox and the brand because that sends a message that they are serious, and all the people that bought their system will know that it isn\'t going the way of the DC anytime soon.

You think it would be better if MS refused to spend another dime on anything xbox related?  Do you think that would make developers and owners happy?  Do you think before you post?

Well, not quite. Sega had the money to push the Dreamcast throught the rest of it\'s life cycle. The problem is, it would have been tapping the coffers of what they\'d need to produce another next generation system. Without that money there, they couldn\'t put out another Ace quality product like the Dreamcast.. and with developer and consumer confidence slipping ever farther away from them, they decided to just bow out gracefully and use the money to make a fresh start. I still think that Sega could have made it.. it would have been extreemly tough and taken some top notch company leadership.. but I there was a chance. Sega (and their shareholders) jus didn\'t want to risk it tho, considering their track record. So now, the DC\'s dead.

*Breaks down in Tears*

Anyhow, I ain\'t gonna deny that I have a bias against Microsoft. I don\'t like them as a company for the chit they\'ve pulled in the PC market.. and I still think they have an ulterior motive in the games industry. (As does Sony tho..) It\'s not going to stop me from eventually buying an Xbox tho. It\'s the games that matter.. and if my bias won\'t allow me to send more money to MS, then I\'ll simply buy my Xbox games and hardware second hand.

Hah, after all.. I still loath Nintnedo for the dirty tricks they played against Sega in the 8 bit days.. and for always cowing over to congress whenever violence in videogames became an issue... but that dosen\'t stop me from having an NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, and soon to be a NGC now does it?
