"X-box Hit : - ) or Miss ; - ( ??"

X-box is Microsoft’s first attempt at breaking into the console world, when it comes out in the US on November 8th it will retail at $299. This means that it will probably cost £299 when its finally released in Europe on the 15th March next year. One thing is certain, when it comes out it will be the worlds most powerful home console/entertainment system, but will it be any good?

What do you think of the X-box…? are you impressed by the specs, do you think the X-box will be worth getting just for WWF Raw is War or do you think that Microsoft have made a mistake that they will come to regret. Whatever your opinion, express it here :-)

i hope x box does well....
even though i probably won't be getting one when it first gets released cos i have a ps2...

I think its because the Game Cube iwll have nintendo history behind it of over priced consoles on release and very expensive games. £50 is way to expensive for a game.

In my opinion i think the X Box is going to wipe the floor with the Game Cube.

Oh yeah another thing how do you hold the game cubes controller in your hands. it has to analog sticks.

Well, MS have pulled out all the stops for the Tokyo Game Show... they have hired a huge floor space, and should have a strong showing. In addition to this, MS have organised their own independant Xbox show in Japan before the console launch.

The only other thing they could, and should have done was to buy Sega when they were failing... that would have raked in the Japanese gamers.

The japanese may actually buy the Xbox provided the games are priced competitively!

Oh 1 more thing its to big for the japanese market

Half those Games though will be or are already on the PS2 and why wait till march to play the same game????


Sony will rule alothough I wish sega had faith in the dreamcast shame

I wouldnt go that far, however if your selling a load of GameBoyAdvances a Nintendo machine to a bunch of Nintendo fans then the last thing your going to say is:

"The X-box is going to blow Nintendos GameCube away!"

remember most people who work in games stores are fools... in general

The X-box has a load of games being developed for it such as

Oddworld Munch's Oddysee,
Dead or Alive 3,
Star Wars Obi-Wan,
Crazy Taxi,
Panzer Dragoon,
The Simpsons Road Rage,
Jet Set Radio Future,
SegaSports NBA 2K2,
Sega Sports NFL 2K2,
Sega GT,
House of the Dead 3,
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2X,
Dino Crisis 3,
Genma Onimusha,
Madden NFL 2002,
F1 2001,
FIFA,
WWF Raw is War.

If all of these games materialise on the X-box then Im sure lots of gamers will be interested in the machine. Im interested in seeing how DinoCrisis 3 will turn out, will it be more like the puzzle solving original or the arcade shoot em-up sequel???
