The bad thing is Micro$oft has the $ to try again. >>
I can't tell if that's a dollar sign or my name >.<

Anyway, in my opinion, Microsoft's made a few big mistakes with the 360. The first was developing the hardware and such before they even saw what the competition was bringing to the table. Another is the fact that a large portion of what's been released thus far do not work at all.

That being said, the 360 will live A) because Microsoft can do anything it wants, and B) people will support it, if only for that blasted Halo crap. I'm not against Microsoft in any way (as I use Windows and other 'crosoft products daily) or the XBox in general (I'm trying to get the original, and perhaps the 360 a few years down the line), but I disagree with the way they market their consoles.

The 360 has inferior graphics to the PS3 and isn't as innovative as the Rev. It'll flop.
This has probably already been said, but hey.
Anyone who's seen the KH2 opening on IGN will know that Sony's graphics on the PS2 are equal to the 360's. There's no competition.

Do you speak of the opening movie, because ingame can't really compare with X360(sadly).

And truthfully, nobody really knows if the PS3 is really better(graphically). We know the PS3 has almost twice the juice of X360, but we have no idea how much of that can actually be utilized.

Apparently, although PS3's RSX is clocked 50 Mhz higher than X360's Xenos, the Xenos has unified pipelines, meaning all instructions just have to be thrown at it, rather than seperating them and making them take turns(I'm trying to put it into laymen's terms).

As for my opinion, I think it's just another 'wait and see' type of thing. Although I wish M$ was already kicked from the competition.

1 thing that will also help the xbox 360 is the xbox live. Xbox live is much cheaper than it was when it was on the 1st Xbox. At first you had to pay about $50/month for xbox live on the 1st xbox now it's $50/year on the xbox 360 or you can get a silver account which is free. I think that will definitaly help it.

PS - Sorry for going a lil off topic :P

THe only thing I have of Microsoft os probobly my computer.

Recent reporting as saying the system is crshing in the middle of the game and ther are pictures to prove it on the net.
Ah yes, I've heard of this from my friend who owns a XBox 360. He plays with an ice pack on top of his system now, since the crash seems to be because there is not enough cooling fans.

Oh I've seen it, but there's still no unrefutable proof that one is better than the other graphically.

Because the Xenos GPU's architecture, it apparently can use more of it's resources (90-100%), whereas the RSX's 'last-gen' architecture uses 50-60%.

The numbers are possibly off by a little bit, and the RSX is clocked 50Mhz higher than the Xenos, but we seriously need some comparable proof to show which is better.

Comparing the systems is like comparing apples and oranges at the moment-
Remember PS2? The overall system performance was 600GFlops, and the Xbox's was 200GFlops.

But which one came through with better graphics? Numbers can't be trusted when comparing two unlike things, and we simply don't have enough ingame, comparable evidence(like a multiple console game) to show which is better.

I was. I haven't actually seen any screen shots of the actual gameplay. ^^;;;
I'm stll not impressed wth the 360 graphics, though. I played it in the shop, and I didn't like it. The people look shiny (I have no idea what went on there) and the leaves look... I don't know, it's hard to explain. Pretentious, I guess. They looked like they had been c+p'ed from toy story straight into the game, and they didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the enviroment.

Ah. You know how, in cheap cartoons, an object a character is about it move is a brighter shade than all the others around it? That's what the 360 reminds me of.

I got an idea everybody

Who cares?

Who cares if Xbox 360 sucks or not. Why are we trying to convince everybody otherwise. People will buy it or not buy it nonetheless, not matter how much we bash it or praise it. Spending all this time trying to boost your own systems approval for others while at the same time taking shots at their system is just stupid. The only people I ever see doing that are big fat pimple faced nerds.

Just play the stupid games if you like em, and if you don't like em, don't play em. Quit your stupid complaining of "how DARE people disagree with my opinon about xbox vs gamecube graphics." It's just, stupid. I can't believe I used to do this alongside you guys. How retarded is all of this. Go out and get some friends and some jobs. Work a little...move our of your parents basement. Go back to school. Join a sport. Stop playing so many videogames.

Yeah, I don't see much of a point either, especially when it drags on. But if they like doing this, why stop them? Not harming anyone.

Just irks me to see so many nerds thinking they're having an intelligent conversation about life, when in reality, they're just being retarded.

I like videogames...in moderation

Well said, I hardly have time for games, you know, and I have said it a billion times, I have a job, am taking college classes, and in my spare time catch up on sleep, and if I wanted a girlfreind...I wouldn't have time for games...yes the X-Box 360 has good graphics but come on its not real life...has it really gotten to the point where video games has become an altenrate to reality...some of you act as if its all that matters...I'm sorry Dakotas right get up and do something with freinds, or sports, or something other than sitting inside...

Speaking of which this thread needs to be closed...its strayed way off topic...CLOSE NOW...Please.

For a console that will have a great success it sure is struggling in sales worldwide.
Oh, they're doing poorly in sales, but they only send so many out to vendors, that way they've got the reputation of having a console that's always sold out.

:laugh: That's dumb. Thw whole purpose of launching before Sony was to have the user base advantage when PS3 launches like the PS2 did when X-Box launched. Shortages is one of the lamest excuses ever imo, they knew for so long they were planning to launch in 2005 to get 360 out there before PS3 so they should've prepared the amount of 360's needed to get that solid install base before Sony. At this rate they'll barely sell 2 million consoles worldwide by the time PS3 launches, which isn't a big difference and could be made up easily. Even the DS had more of an advantage over the PSP then that.

I feel like I'm at GameFAQS with all the silly debating going on in this thread. >_>

Personally, it really doesn't matter which system comes out on top in sales, although I do like to make predictions just for fun. My predictions for next-gen are already starting to look bad anyways. I had predicted the 360 to get more sales than the other two. >_>

Probablly because both of them are FPS's?
first, that is incorrect. metroid prime is an FPS, not metroid its self.

i do beleve that relecing it so erly will be 360s downfall, but microsoft will not give up yet. they have to much money to waste before they give up.

Hmm...
Many people will hate me for saying this, probably, but here goes.

I think that once the PS3 is released, everyone will start saying "360 what???."
I HATE Playstation, save a few games, such as Devil May Cry.

I'm a Zelda fan, myself. And that's just my opinion. Go crazy.

Here we go...

Me, I think that their idea to try to get an early fanbase was good, but they A.) released to early B.) they didn't keep them in stock C.) Half the people I know that bought them eather didn't like, or they bought it so they could sell it for 1500 dollars on E-Bay to Fanboys (I don't think it will work, but it's kinda scary people think it would.)
I think that eather it will go in the Dreamcast direction, somehow remain as Sony's shadow, or they will slowly fizzle out slowly over the next couple of years. What I curious about is (Assuming the become the next Sega from a console stand point) who might replace it after said death? Sega? Atari?(Yeah Right, it would be cool but come on) uhhh..... EA?! (Hay, ya never know. They are the sports giant.) I also want to see if they try to invade handheld land. (LOL, no offense)
I hope they fizzle out or have a console heart attack. It's not like they would completely back out.
I wanna see some Haol Rev. heheheh...

Continuing, They're IMO like that annoying pimple on Nintendo and Sony's butt. Sony is a respectable company (Although with them it's to much of the same somtimes) and I still want them to live on. But XBox and XBox 360 are just annoying distraction. Both systems have to many flaws (But The XB360 Controller is like gaming Nirvana)

BTW, if they were to invade handheld land, I'm a thinkin' the next N-Gage.

No offense to anyone. I love M$ as a computer company and hope they would at least be third-party if the XB360 were murde-... I mean to die. yeah... that's it. LOL

No. I'm not a nerd (I nintendo fan, but not a closed minded baised person). I have a social life. I don't have much time for vg's or this place to often. I love them like a son tho(SP?) LOL
