Some people just love one system and they'll defend(and bash other systems) it 24/7. Last year I was a big basher on the ps2, but look how time cures maturity so now I have one. Being immature and not seeing the big picture has alot to do with people making statments like:"Xbox sucks!!!!!", heh I even heard this one on the chatrooms," Playstation 2 takes it up the ass!!!!!"

Simple. As a I said earlier, Xbox games have no taste, no flavor, no artistic/imaginative innovation. This blandness has destroyed the music industry and the movie industry. Why should this happen to the only big industry left?

The more units Xbox sells, the more money Microsoft loses.

You'd think they'd cut their losses and call it quits instead of spending $2,000,000,000 to make gamers want its shoddy product and therefore make the company lose more money faster.

Real marketing geniuses... if they can't run their own stupid business right how can they expect to appeal to gamers?

Big numbers sold? Sure... BIG LOSSES, BUSTER. X-Box is a failure financially and we're not waiting for the "When will it fail", we're waiting for the confession of it from Mr. Gates himself.

The first time I picked up a controller for X-Box, the damned thing is turned inward towards the top... that's like trying to stear a bicycle with a rod instead of a wheel. I can't imagine playing more than an hour at a time with that damned thing. When I played Halo, it was fun, and while I got used to the controls I couldn't get used to the controller.

At least it's not carpal tunnel city like the Dreamcast controller.

No taste? Halo is oh so sweet.
No flavor? MechAssault tastes like vanilla. I love vanilla.
No artistic innovation? Hey, the phone's for you. It's Jet Set Radio Future.
No imaginative innovation? My large friend, Steel Battalion, would like to talk to you.

True, but it's the same for all systems. The thing that helps Microsoft is the system attachment rate, or how many games or sold per console. The XBox has the highest attachment rate out of any console in history for it's timeframe (not sure about total....... although I think that may be the case) at over 4.0 games being sold per system sold. Not too shabby.

On my opinion any system is good. It's the games that make the difference, and x-box came into the video game industry dissing all the outher systems and games. I would like to ask you what games do you own for it? or better yet lets play a game, all the x-box fan boys name a good game for x-box, and I'll name a better one for Gamecube.:evillaugh

Because I'm an employee of GameStop, I can have access to Microsoft's retail site (www.microsoft.com/retail/xbox). From there, I take quizes on games / hardware and earn points. I then used those points to win games, and all I had to do was pay for shipping. So I got Amped, Bloodwake, Fuzion Frenzy, NBA Inside Drive 2002 (which I'm turning into work), and NFL Fever 2002 (which I'm also turning into work). 6 games for $31.75, not bad at all. Fuzion Frenzy is actually a very good party game, as long as you have people to play against. And Wreckless I got from Jerchel from splitting up his layout for PS2Substance awhile ago, it was the second game I owned. Thanks again, Jerchel (if you're ever gonna be here) :D

Halo was at first a Mac game, then Microsoft bought Bungie, and had them put it on XBox (it was rumored to be on the PS2 also). And then a PC version was started, but it's going to handeled by Gearbox (I believe) instead; it will be different than the XBox version.

Future Starlocke
01-11-2003, 01:56 AM
But then again, who cares... it's not like this is a thread about why X-Box is so great.

For some reason, Microsoft has a way of brainwashing all of its customers everywhere. People think you NEED Windows on your computer, people think you NEED Internet Explorer without giving anyone else a chance ever. Funny how even the lightest of X-Box idiot fanboys never give up their stand for a moment to even look at the competetion, dispite the fact that their X-Obilisk is a monumental error on the face of gaming. It's another company that should have kept out of the business, but this time around we've got a new strategy: Cash.

We'll just buy up a bunch of companies to publish their titles a whopping three months before anyone else on our box. Microsoft has the kind of cash to buy out Nintendo and Sony's video game division without thinking twice if they wanted to... and that doesn't make them a competitor that makes them a bully. PC users didnt' stand for that shit and neither should Console Gamers.

But alas, it's so damned shiny, so damned big, so damned flawed but look at how many they've sold! SO WHAT?!

I won't buy one, and I know 100 others on this board alone that won't either. Just because one or two people insist its the greatest doesn't mean that it is. Then again, these are the same idiots that try to sell steak to vegetarians.

Microsoft buys their retailers, Microsoft buys their developers, Microsoft buys their customers. If they were politicians, it would be a scandal, but instead it's an idiot video game machine war and so all it does is draw a line a makes people take sides.

X-Box is all kinds of wrong for home console gaming. The average fanboy or gamer won't care as to why or why not, but if they buy an X-Box for the specs alone they will be disappointed with the games. Like I've said in the past there is a single title I can get for X-Box that I can't get for other consoles and that's Halo. It would be stupid of me to spend $200 to get to play that... so I'll just wait for the PC version and run it better, faster, and more improved than the X-Box counterpart.

There isn't a thing X-Box can do that my PC can't do better. I don't care about your PC or the next guy's, but I care about my computer as much as I care about games because I live it, breath it, if it were a fine piece of ass I would fuck it... because I know my games I am rock and roll. I can custom make my maps, I can custom make my skins, I can do anything and everything with MUCH MORE than the X-Box or it's dink of an online plan can offer me.

I had a version of AdAware on my PC, and due to it not being up-to-date, it messed up my Internet Explorer. Because of that, I used Netscape and occasionaly Opera and Mozilla for about two monthes. IE totally kicks their ass. It is simply the best web browser that I have used. Hell, my cousin who has a Mac even uses it. Which brings me to my next introduction to a non-Microsoft product: the Mac. I used my cousin's, and I can honestly say that PC's totally kick their ass. I've used Linux / Unix at another cousin's, and Windows simply kicks their ass.

Funny how even the lightest of X-Box idiot fanboys never give up their stand for a moment to even look at the competetion, dispite the fact that their X-Obilisk is a monumental error on the face of gaming.

You've played the XBox, how many times? Once? Yet XBox fans don't look at the competition? I have a Dreamcast, and I have friends who have the other two systems. When it's all said and done, I'd rather play XBox. I simply prefer it, such as how you prefer the GameCube. I like FPS games. I like online games. I really like online FPS games. And error, how? Maybe to you, but not to many, many people.

It's another company that should have kept out of the business, but this time around we've got a new strategy: Cash.

Why's that? Microsoft went to Capcom and said, "What is your dream game?". And now, we have Steel Battalion.

We'll just buy up a bunch of companies to publish their titles a whopping three months before anyone else on our box.

Microsoft's purchase Bungie and Rare, along with other start-up companies ala Nintendo. You make it seem as though Microsoft has games that are timed exclusive. The XBox is getting Run Like Hell, V-Rally 3, Suikoden III, and Red Faction II (so is the GCN), and all are delayed ports (and hopefully upgrades).

Microsoft has the kind of cash to buy out Nintendo and Sony's video game division without thinking twice if they wanted to... and that doesn't make them a competitor that makes them a bully. PC users didnt' stand for that shit and neither should Console Gamers.

There's a difference between what they can do and what they actually do.

But alas, it's so damned shiny, so damned big, so damned flawed but look at how many they've sold! SO WHAT?!

Yes, it's very large. But it's not meant to be portable - that's why I have a GameBoy Advance. I'd rather have a large system with a built-in hard drive than buy memory cards, and a built-in ethernet port than have to purchase an add-on. Same with four controller ports, than have to purchase a multitap.

I won't buy one, and I know 100 others on this board alone that won't either. Just because one or two people insist its the greatest doesn't mean that it is.

I'd have to assume so, because this is, you know, a Nintendo forum. That's like going to a Ford message board and asking how many people plan on buying GM's. And because you think a system is the greatest does not mean it is - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ive Never Liked the Xbox..Ever since its launch i have been skeptical about owning one for good reason. As i have said before the only game that really interests me is the halo series, apart from that I could Live without DOA if I Have Tekken and or Smash Bros. I Can Also live without online gaming. What interests me is The Great Artistically Unsurpassed Games featured on The Gamecube, and the Shit Load of Great games available on PS2. I Bet out of all the people Who bought the Xbox a good percentage Bought it simply for its great Graphics, Something Bill Gates has been boasting about since early 2000 When the system was unveiled. Only A Small percentage of those gamers bought the system for the games it had, because when you come to look at it, The Games Xbox tends to favor are games with limited appeal..Look At the Sales, Almost Always Gamecube games and PS2 games fill the screen leaving space for about 1 or 2 Xbox games, And those games end up in another system. Most of Xbox's Big Guns this year sold less than any of PS2's or Nintendo's Big Guns. Im Not a fanboy, although i used to be, Im Simply stating which systems i like, and Which Systems i dont for whatever reason. Yes I Do Believe Gamecube is a better system because of its better games and nintendo published masterpieces, but its not because im a fanboy, its just that this is what i believe to be the honest truth. The Only reason Xbox outsold the gamecube was simply because its launch games were actually superior to Gamecubes Laucnh games in amount and appeal. Luigis mansion isnt an ideal launch game, and many launch games for the gamecube failed to Show off the Gamecubes Power, whereas Xbox's Games did well in showing off the one thing that got so many systems into gamers hands here in america: Graphics. But Thats all changing now, more the reason i Stick to my prediction that Nintendo will Overtake Xbox in second place at some point, because now Nintendo has more third party support than N64 ever did, Plus it makes more money off there won Software than any other game company in the world By A Long Shot. Gamecube is Now The Home of many great games that came out in other systems, Not to mention That a lot of games coming out from nintendo themselves will Be Original Masterpieces. Couple that with an Online Plan, GBA Gamecube compatibility,270 Games, aqnd virtually every game thats good on the Xbox eventually making an appearence on The Cube and youve got yourself a winner, Sooner or later, the Xbox is gonna fall..Thats All I Have to say, do what you wish and believe what you want.

"Shitload" of great games on the PS2? If that were the case, I'd own one instead of an XBox. But all I see are rehashes and games that play, look, and sound as if they belong in the previous generation.

I Bet out of all the people Who bought the Xbox a good percentage Bought it simply for its great Graphics, Something Bill Gates has been boasting about since early 2000 When the system was unveiled.

Why did I buy it? I will discuss it further down.

Only A Small percentage of those gamers bought the system for the games it had, because when you come to look at it

Is that why the XBox has the highest attachment rate, or games sold per system, to date? It doesn't have to do with graphics.

The Games Xbox tends to favor are games with limited appeal..Look At the Sales, Almost Always Gamecube games and PS2 games fill the screen leaving space for about 1 or 2 Xbox games

We must be looking at different charts. All I see are a bunch of PS2 games, with an XBox game or two and a GameCube one thrown in every once and awhile.

And those games end up in another system.

But not nearly as good; Dead to Rights and Wreckless come to mind.

Most of Xbox's Big Guns this year sold less than any of PS2's or Nintendo's Big Guns.

You're right, Splinter Cell only sold, what, 1.6 million copies? Why does Microsoft even try.........

Im Not a fanboy, although i used to be

You still are.... we all are, you are just moreso than most.

They have more third party support than the N64, but it's steadily declining. Not only that, but Microsoft does have more third party support. And Nintendo doesn't really make as much off of software. They lose less on system sold, but they are taking a hit on a lot of games. For example, I know that EA Sports dropped each of their sports games down to $39.99 for the GameCube.

Gamecube is Now The Home of many great games that came out in other systems, Not to mention That a lot of games coming out from nintendo themselves will Be Original Masterpieces.

It all depends on taste. We like different games.

virtually every game thats good on the Xbox eventually making an appearence on The Cube and youve got yourself a winner

You wish. I already posted a huge list of [exclusive] games that you said would "probably be very good", or something like that.

Thats your opinon, fact of the matter is PS2 is getting more great games then Xbox and Gamecube Combined, eve you cant argue that.



Is that why the XBox has the highest attachment rate, or games sold per system, to date? It doesn't have to do with graphics.

Umm Yes it doesn, its the main reason its selling, Ask any casual gamer that has an Xbox and ask him why he bought it.


We must be looking at different charts. All I see are a bunch of PS2 games, with an XBox game or two and a GameCube one thrown in every once and awhile.


No You just refuse to see Facts.


But not nearly as good; Dead to Rights and Wreckless come to mind.

Again its your opinion, Dead to rights didnt take advantage of the Xbox' Power when it was an exclusive anyway. and all the ports of the game received the same rating as the Xbox version so I Dont know what youre talking about as is frequently the case with you.


You're right, Splinter Cell only sold, what, 1.6 million copies? Why does Microsoft even try.........

And What Else?? Halo?? And after that can you really mention any other game that has had the overflowing success of Nintendo and PS2's Hits This year?? Didnt think so, BTW Splinter cell Will be available for the other 2 consoles later this year, just thought id rub it in. All you do is mention the same games over and over again in all your posts. You have failed to mention any other game in The Xbox Library that has outsold PS2 and Gamecubes big hits.


You still are.... we all are, you are just moreso than most.

Im Not, but you certainly are. I Defend Multiple Systems, I cant be a fanboy. You argue with 5 people at once even if your losing, if youre not a fanboy i dont know who is.



If that were the case, it still wouldn't be outselling the GCN.

As I said, Its Only temporary. Youll see with you own eyes very soon.


They have more third party support than the N64, but it's steadily declining. Not only that, but Microsoft does have more third party support. And Nintendo doesn't really make as much off of software. They lose less on system sold, but they are taking a hit on a lot of games. For example, I know that EA Sports dropped each of their sports games down to $39.99 for the GameCube.

Those Games are doing good enough, Whats Important is Nintendo's support form people like Namco Sega and Capcom.


It all depends on taste. We like different games.

Youre damn right.



You wish. I already posted a huge list of [exclusive] games that you said would "probably be very good", or something like that.

I almost yawned reading through the list. Most of them were uninteresting, and most of them you wont even be getting.

Michael Bluth
01-11-2003, 04:17 AM
Microsoft doesn't even release their own numbers. A third party, that tracks sales for all systems and games, is where they get their numbers from. Nintendo, on the other hand, releases their own numbers - and Nintendo and Sony have been known to substitute the number of systems shipped as systems sold. And as I told somebody else, that's like someone saying "The XBox has outsold the GameCube in North America" and another person stating "But we didn't add Mexico/Canada's numbers!". Britian = largest gaming area in Europe. Plus XBox was doing very, very well in France and Germany, amonst a couple others.

This is mainly for future starlocke and those other "evil corporation" hippies. Im not insulting anyone but give me a break. Do you think nintendo or sony or anyone realy gives a shit about their gamers?Hell no. nintendo would trade good games for good sales any day. If they found a way to make money on infants, they would ditch all you and develope for them if it makes them more money. I still dont know whats the big deal about microsoft enering the gameing industry. Sony did and no one is shitting there pants about it. Sony has way less to do with video games. Microsoft practicaly makes video games for grown ups already. Windows and programs like that are toys for adults. Sony makes tv's and stuff, that has nothing to do with the video game industry anyway. I like all the systems and im tired of trying to defend x-box all the time. Some of you guys are so narrow minded it sickens me. Every time i mention x-box all i get is "X-crap" or "x-bitch" or some other stupid remark. The only reason why some of you hate x-box is bacause you feel threatened that there is a new kid on the block with lots of money that will make all your friends ditch you to go play in a stadium or whatever rich kids have.

I have an XBox and a PS2 right now. I actually went into my sisters room to watch a DVD tonight because I didn't feel like hooking up my PS2. That's sad...I seriously haven't seen a game worth playing on the PS2 in quite some time.

I'm probably going to get a GCN this summer, then I'll have all 3, and it won't matter.

The size of the XBox shouldn't be used in a bad way, who would take it on the road? I like it being big, it feels stury (unlike the PS2 which almost feels like cardboard).

Everything in this thread is pure opinion...XBox has more games that I want, they are coming out with more games that I want (unless GCN gets Shenmue III...argh), and I'll probably play it the most. On the other hand, you guys might continue to bash the Xbox for no reason and play your PS2's and GCN's, while I play my XBox without bashing any of the systems...because I'm not a hella-fanboy.

oh yeah, , i still havent heard all your resons why x-box suxks beside the fact that it doesnt have any exlusive games and that it is made by and evil corporation bent on world domination.

ill give you all the reasons its better than the rest.

1. You get 2 free games with purchase
2. Who the fuck cares if a game is exlusive as long as its good
3. X-box live is the shit(dont give me shit about this one, ive heard it all)
4. It comes with ALOT of internal memory so you done have to use memory card if you dont wanna buy them.
5. You can make your own sound tracks if ya dont wanna lissen to the video game crap.
6.It has 4 controler ports, so does nintendo, so there both good in that aspect.
7.If you take the green x out of the middle you can use it as a cup holder.
8.The controlers are cool, i like the buttons on the bottom way better than the buttons on the side.(L&R buttons)
9. Microsoft bought rare, and rare is the shit.
10. Its so fucking cool, you can like put a sleep timer and auto shut off and stuff like that. You can even make evertything be in different languages, its a riot!

That Most Incogerent piece of garbage post, i have ever read in My Entire life, and i thought phantagram was stupid..So youre saying windows is more of a "toy" so to speak then cd players and televisions and vcr's and dvd players so on and so forth?? So if youre such an enemy of the Gamecube and The Way Nintendo does buiseness wahy are you here?? You do realize that This is a nintendo message boards do you not?? Please man spare me your incredibly moronic posts, and do not share your Uncanny Stupidity with us, I can live with out it.

yeah, i just couldnt think of another thing to put, it was a joke


And to dark link

did you even read my post? Im saying nintendo is just as bad as all the other evil corporations.However, i am NOT saying that microsoft is any better. I even stated that i like gamecube. Why else would i be in here, i could just as easily go to an x-box forum. Im just trying to make the point that all companies are the same in terms of profit, they all want it. Where is it written that you cant like both gamecube and x-box. You seem to hate x-box so much that i am just telling the other side to the story. You seem to hate x-box so much, but you dont even have one. So why dont you sit your ass down and stop getting all worked up.

My point about windows being a toy was that it is more related to video games that cd players and such. So simmer down.

Dang, this is quite the thread. I myself am a xbox player, and I agree with adam on all points. But I also own a cube.

I don't know why this has stayed open this long.

Continue. Argue more. If all of you weren't so fixed on your opinions, you might actually get somewhere.

Let's move back a bit. Corporations are the epitome of evil. When anyone speaks of the Devil, they are talking about The Corporation. Discuss.

Phanta... and Evil... for one, you need to stay on subject. This thread is all about WHY X-BOX SUCKS.

Two... you're entitled to your gimp of an opinion as much as we are. You don't like it, you can go wank on X-Box live.

Wherever muslims are there can be no peace because they're just messed up people. no offense to muslims, just my opinion. If a plane comes crashing into my house tomorrow because of that statement, I'll be angry. Very angry.

Sales don't matter in a debate about why xbox sucks. Nsync sucks but they sell a lot of albums don't they?

Not all Muslims are evil People, Take Muhammad ali for Instance, he wasnt an evil person, Please dont say shit like that, Muslims are all around us, There are people near you now that are muslim..Muslim Is a religion not a Terrorrist group..Im Not muslim but i take offense to shit like that, no race should be discriminated against for the actions of there fellow men. So youre going to go and tell a muslim to his face there can be no peace because of him and his people, and then tell him not to take it offensively because its your opinion?? What you just said is against american ideals, And I Dont know about you but im happy and proud to be an american and have the chance to coexist with other reaces and ethnicities in this country, if you dont like it then thats too bad, but dont go on a PUBLIC Message board and say shit like that. You Wouldnt like it if someone said they cant live in peace thanks to the existence of your race.
