Don\'t care muchh for sports games either but I guess they folded under the competition.  ESPN and Madden pretty much own the football arena.

they should just lay off the xbox entirely so the PS2 price wil go back up to $200.

Do you really want the Xbox to fail that bad mm?  Then everyone can develop games on the PS2 and prices + tech advancements will be decided by one company and one company alone.  GC don\'t count. :P

no, make that billions MS will never recover this gen or next but any good xbot will tell you MS planned it that way. If all goes well xbox3 or 4 will really pay off :rolleyes:

Let me guess, it was part of EA\'s demands to get them on xbox live? j/k Come to think though, hasn\'t Sony given up on football also? Hmmm...

Seriously though, it\'s obviously time to trim the fat and get ready for round 2. It\'s only going to be more expensive otherwise

Meh

XBOX is fun. So is my PC.

I don\'t give a shit whether or not the company makes a profit.

The userbase is pretty rediculous for a company that just entered the business.  Their foot is in the door now.

Yeah, competition sucks. I want to pay $400 for consoles and $75 for games.

F*cking free market.

Yeah then Sony could be the next microsoft and control prices as it sees fit.:rolleyes:

Luckily this is the console market and we dont NEED games for important applications. Though there are those that couldnt live through the withdrawl and would buy anything despite the inflated pricing.

Whatever, I know which console I had more fun with towards the later half of this generation.
