I have the PS2 an GC but don't have an Xbox. I feel that most games are ported to different consoles and not many games are out. Prove me wrong enough to persuade my Dad to get it for my birthday.

Like Sony did for two years with the PS2 then ?

Hah.

*ahem*

Everyone knows that you don't make the money in Videogames selling the hardware, you make it from the software.

The only thing, in my monkey_opinion, that the Xbozx has going for it is Halo. It is a f*cking stunning example of sheer gameplay. sure it has some of the best graphics on any console, but even if the graphics were a tenth as good, the gameplay and tenseness of the situations would still make up for it.

Yay Halo!

i think the key words are 'microsoft bought them'. similar to if, for instance, the words were 'nintendo bought them'. either way PC halo is not a certainty. and there are halo clones on pc too or there will be, im not that up on pc games

Halo on PC will happen. Especially as Bungie originally intended it to be a PC and Mac title before Microsoft bought them.
