Just been looking at XBox.com, saw this list of games from Sega, for the XBox, out in the US before Christmas, hopefully launch titles over here?
List includes:
"Crazy Taxi™ Next" (working title). Pedestrians will need to watch out when the "Crazy Taxi" franchise hits Xbox.
"House of the Dead™ 3." The horror has returned. Players will need every ounce of their reflexes and marksmanship skills if they hope to survive.
"JSRF — Jet Set Radio Future™" (working title). Players should get ready for a cutting-edge soundtrack, a groundbreaking artistic look and insane new tricks. It's all about extreme skating, extreme action and extreme style.
"Sega GT™ 2002." This adrenaline-filled car-racing game features amazingly real vehicles and graphics.
"Panzer Dragoon" (working title). Xbox owners will be the first to return to the stunning world of "Panzer Dragoon." They can take flight once again to explore the lush beauty, fierce technology and mysterious dragon-breeding culture of one Sega's most sought-after franchises.
"Sega Sports™ NFL 2K2." The substance, realism and competition of "Sega Sports NFL 2K2" charges onto the powerful Xbox.
"Sega Sports™ NBA 2K2." Touted as the best basketball game released last year, "NBA 2K2" makes its debut on Xbox and is sure to rise to the top of the basketball ranks.
Add to that US launch titles like Project Gotham Racing, Halo, Fusion Frenzy, Star Wars StarFighter, DoA 3, Tony Hawks 2x, Cel Damage and Oddwold: Munch's Oddysee, and I think the XBox might not do so bad as some people think....

I was surprised at school the other day.
I'd always thought that the Xbox was mostly unheard of or something that most people didn't really care about.
It seems that it has got a fair following, by people who think that the PS2 is a mess (yes, although it does have a killer line up after a year, so did the N64 and the damage was irreversible in that case), that the Gamecube is a kiddies machine mainly (a stereoype I WILL stamp out of everyone!) and are pretty much looking forward to the Xbox.
I guess that the Xbox will be the new "Playstation", which was in turn the new "Mega Drive" etc.
The Gamecube? Bought by gamers like myself who aren't scared of cartoony graphics.

The graphics don't scare me, I have an N64 and a GBA, it's just at the moment, there are more games on the XBox that I like.
Also, it seems to me that more of Sega's games are going to the XBox than the GC, although it is *very* close.
Admittedly the launch of both of them is a while away, so there is a slight possibility I could buy a GC instead. I deally I'd like both, as there are a couple of games on the GC that interest me, there's just more on the XBox.

That wasn't aimed at you because, like you said, you are actually considering getting a Gamecube and you're clearly not prejudice against it.
I think that the statement applies to most though.

The reason I am getting a Gamecube is because of the games. Chances are, that a lot more 3rd party developers will play this time round.
X-Box doesn't look that bad, but it's sooooo big, and really, I don't need a DVD player... I have a Stereo, and the Gamecube will be on-line within a year.
I can see why people are interested in the X-Box... someon of the titles look great, and no doubt play great, and the way the relationship between Sega and Microsoft is going, the X-Box could get the sequel to 'one of the best games ever' - SEGA NiGHTS: Into Dreams.
Hopefully it'll come to Gamecube, but that is coming from Someone who is getting a Gamecube. It is, however, quite a kiddie game, so you never know...!

NiGHTS was made by the Sonic Team.
So far, the Sonic Team have worked for the Gamecube exclusively with Sonic Adventure 2 and Phantasy Star Online 2.
Mr Naka (Sonics creator) and Miyamoto (maker of Mario) are very keen on working together.
If a new NiGHTS game is released, I'm sure it'll be on the Cube first.

The xbox could be the next playstation but people are forgetting who makes the thing.
Do blue screens, this program has performed an illegal operation and bill gates mean anything :)

It did crash at that fair...
(Yes, all machines chash occasionally, just ironic that it did it on its first ever public outing...)

That won't happen.
MS are so determined to get rid of the "It's just a PC" argument, that they are thinking of banning third parties from bringing out mice and keyboards for it.
They won't make them either.
They want people to know it's a console, so no mice, or keyboards or anything. Which is why there is a "back" button on the controller.
Also, the DC used Windows CE, which is basically a completely bulletproof, stripped down version of Windows, I guess the XBox will use this, in which case there won't be a problem.
Afterall, why would it need to use a "proper" version of Windoze? It won't have scanners, or printers, or keyboards or Word, or Outlook etc that comes with a PC.

Not having a keyboard or mouse isnt going to make it internet friendly if it goes online, doesnt it come with a modem?
