I don't think any of the console launches are going to be huge. The cost is just too prohibitive. |

I think I read that they sold half as many 360's on the first day as they did Xbox's a few years back.
They're blaming the DOA4 delay. |

This makes the 360's fate in Japan far more humiliating... |

Bumping the thread because the Japan launch took place this weekend... and it didn't go so well, as most people predicted. Granted, the hardcores stood in line to get a system or pre-ordered one, but for the most part... not good. Kotaku is reporting that some stores are already slashing prices to the point that if you sign up for an ISP contract, you can get a 360 for roughly $150 American.
...You know, even with shipping costs and taxes and all that, I think some people in America might be better off just importing their 360 at that price. XD I'm not surprised the launch was met with a lukewarm reaction in Japan but I'm surprised at the price-cutting. MS has some work to do. |

Originally posted by Colin I'd say it depends on the game. At it's best, I'd say Gamecube looks better than Xbox. On average Xbox looks better though. |

I know he did. It was sarcasm.
Actually, the review I read of it said that it looked worse on the Xbox 360 only because they didn't put a ton of work into the graphics so if you're playing via HD... you notice some glitches. |

Originally posted by Colin Pretty sure he just means regular Gun on the next gen console, Colin. Only difference is it looks prettier. Game wasn't all that great, either way. |

Gave the thread a long-overdue retitle.
Carry on. |

Graphic-capacity wise, I believe it goes Xbox > GameCube > PS2. One of the most glaring examples of this comes if you compare Soul Calibur II on all 3 systems. |

I think i read this on the old board. it was funny.
"Oh, you know, you do know what companies are doing the graphic cards/chips/whatevers to these three new exciting consoles? Well, Xbox360, i heard they're going with ATI, Revo? Ati. oh and what about Ps3? eh? oh yeah, Ati." Can't remember the exact quote....tough. In my own personal opinion that is solely my opinion and is only used to express myself, i would like to say that a HD is something i a pretty sure that will be part of the Revo. I mean, "downloadable" n64 games not stored on some "solid" medium? do we have to re-download everything or what? |

Originally posted by Ailure Yah I saw that, did they even test the xbox360? What idiots if they didn't. You always test any kind of consoles when they came out. The probably did, but they should of tested it for hour if they didn't allready. |

Yeah, you need to get your facts right. The cube is superior to the ps2, and equal if not better than the xbox. If there is a God, gaming in the future wont be determined by graphic fanboys and it will rely on gameplay. Gameplay going from the ps2 > ps3, or from the xbox > 360, is basically the same, it just looks a little nicer. |

Originally posted by DS_MaSTeR Revolution the same graphics as GC...ha! And are you saying that the GC's graphics are inferior to ps2's and xbox's? Because it's better than ps2. |

Gun 2? But they just released the original... XD
and all I've heard about Nintendo's graphic change is that it's going to be the same as the current Gamecube. That's never been confirmed. Some people are jumping the gun because apparently the DEMOS for the system that reviewers messed around with used GameCube graphics, or at least simple graphics. |

And there been reports a quite few faulty X-box 360's
Well, it still might just be a minority... we will see after awhile. :/ |

Screw that I want a 360 it looks awesome. Im gonna get one as soon as I can. They are pretty much all sold old now. |
Lord SkyLart Posts: 43/307 |
Yeah,but I didn't even ask for the Xbox360. |
Sinfjotle Posts: 52/1697 |
i'm not really all that impressed.
Multiplayer on Perfect Dark Zero wasn't that good. Call of Duty 2 multiplayer sucks ass, and it doesn't look very impressive and it doesn't bring in anything new. Yeah, I can judge two games, my friend got it, I'll just be chilling out and waiting for another system I think. Probably PS3 and Revolutions this time around... Assuming the Revolutions doesn't suck total ass. |

The X-box 360 is a must have. But there's no need to buy any X-box games. I'm only using it for cetrain technology needs. |
