This was my point, it just took you long enough didn't it.
Without Halo, the 'must have game' of the year (apparently), the Xbox would have sunk, because people were already skeptical as it was a new entry to the market as well.
Everyone knew that with the Gamecube we would get smash hit games such as Zelda, Mario, F-Zero, Mario Kart etc.
Only there is nothing impressive about Microsoft's entry to the console market, other than the amount of money they used to buy their way in.
But what you say about the Xbox, I could say about the Gamecube.
Yet I won't.
Because Nintendo have a reputation. A loyal fanbase.
Microsoft had to start from scratch. Impressive.
We are talking about the launch here, not a year later.
Why don't you run along and lay the smack down on some 5 year old or something. I could have sworn this was an Xbox under my desk..
But I can assure you without those two things Xbox would have never left the ground, which is why most owners will defend those two things to the death.
