Personally, if Rare announced today that all their future titles will be on X-Box, I wouldn't rush out and buy one tomorrow. For me, the X-Box really is very unappealing. I used to want Halo, but seeing as it's now coming out on PC, I'm not bothered about that. There are no games I want, I curse that 'controller' and it's just so damn ugly! (Those are all my own opinions, so no X-Box fanboys please).
I tells ya, Rare's games would have to be REALLY special for me to buy an X-Box, and even then, I'd wait till it's reduced to about £100.

160 is a VERY good price to get a console at.
I was willing to pay 200 for the Gamecube, and that was without the DVD, hardrive, etc...
Still, if we boycott it a little longer, we could force MS to cut it even further.
If we can get them to cut it down to 100 pounds with Halo, THAT would be worth it, even if you already have a Gamecube.

well i have a PS@ and soon a Gamecube so there is no room for a giant Xbox on my desk :P. Besides two consoles is enought for me.

It's going to take more than a few games.

Even if the game is crap (which it wont be) I'll get it as i am obsessed.

Who says the next one will be as good as the first?
Everyone is talking on the grounds of games before them, yeah sure if they were multi format company and showed they can make brilliant games on every console then yeah it would be ok.
But they havent developed on their own on the GC, let alone the XBox.
Even if they were making games on the xbox now and they were all brilliant whos to say a sequal of a game on there already is going to be that good?
Im not saying that you shouldnt look foward to games, but only when its been released in japan or USA and then it has people WHO HAVE PLAYED ON IT, saying its good.

point well made.
PS2 and Xbox aim for the same sort of age/type group.
DVD add on, which is what it is add on, proved this as this would appeal to those type of people.
They dont use games as a lifestyle they put it in the group under "nice to have" e.g. DVD player. They do not count these as a part of life e.g tv and VCR like most people with a gamecube becuase the gamecube is all about the games.
Nintendo games wouldnt work on a console like ps2 and xbox as they are completely diffrent type of people they are reaching.
Very hard to explain what i mean but hopefully someone will understand.

I would probably never buy an X-box. That controller is enough to slaughter any good game. Also without the franchises Nintendo hand to Rare (Starfox, Donkey Kong), will they be able to get enough money out of the X-box's market? No-one who buys an X-box would buy a Banjo-Kazooie game, because it's too 'kiddie'.
n o spells no
will MS be too controlling? like not let them think for themselfs and make them make the sort of games MS want instead of the games they want to make, meaing they become unintrested and start making rubbish games?
