Sorry I took it seriously.

code 144 complete i was joking i didn't actually mean it'll crash and everything it was a joke.

anyway one major factor that might stop the x-box being a big seller is Bill Gates. Most people won't want to fill his pockets with gold even more with this console so may not just buy it for the simple fact it's his company that's made it

Did Japan not refuse to import X-box as sony told them not to as it would damage the industry??

Good idea. :D

I really dont think anyone can predict that it will do well but it looks like it will have a strong userbase in the states which is quite a big market compared to Europe but for it to do well it needs to get the attention of Japanese gamers in Japan as this is the biggest video games market without it wont do well. Even if everyone on this site decides not to get one and it sells well in Japan and the states then it will be able to survive. Compared to US and Japan, Europe is a much smaller market for video games.

In reply to your question...

Honest...

In one word...

" no "

I disagree with that the xbox is not a pc and if you look at it the Ps2 is becoming more of a pc compared to the xbox because, there is still a moniter to come and also a keyboard plus it will soon be compatible with printers.

One other thing is that any of the three next-gen consoles could win the console war, yeah it maybe us the consumers who decide with our money but any of these companies could convince us to spend our money on their console, so at the moment its unpredictable who is gonna win the console wars.

And one more thing this topic should be in the empty xbox forum, Oh well.

x-box is no more than a computer that looks like, sort of a console. the ps2 is brilliant

I couldn't agree more mate

Well that depends on what you mean by "do well". If you mean it will do as well as the Playstation did, then I dont think that its going to happen.But if you are talking about doing as well as DC, then I couldnt agree with you more.

At the given moment it only has a few games that are quite playable and would tempt gamers into buying the console. But if you look at the catalogue of games the PS2 and the Gamecube are offering then I wouldn't feel so sure about X-Box's success.

I hope it does well but something inside me is telling me that it wont be the console that will change the world. I mean just look at it....Its a box in disguise...

Ok I should stopsaying bad things about the console which may succeed. But in my point of view it is notgoing to.

Hit/Miss.....MISS
