"XBOX - Do you think it's going to sell?"

XBOX is one of them consoles which I and I'm sure many other people are not going to be sure about. So okay, we hear all these facts saying how good it is and that it's worth the money, but is it really. To be honest Mircosoft have spent a long time on the actual console it's self but have forgot about the games. They haven't thought of a really original idea for a game. Take Nintendo for example, they come up with games like Mario and Zelda and make them in to some of the best adventure games ever made, when XBOX have got Abe's Oddesey. Who's gonna want to buy that. Reply on what you think.

It will sel on the back of the marketing it has recieved, but I wish it wouldn't.

No, of course the Xbox won't sell. It'll be the biggest white elephant the console world have ever seen! Microsoft will waste millions of dollars trying to persuade people that it's worth having, but to no avail.

It will be a black hole for Gates' millions for the next 12 or 18 months, after which Xbox will fade and die, taking the entire Microsoft Corporation with it, ridding the world of Ultimate Nerd Bill Gates, and freeing computers the world over of half-baked Microsoft operating systems and software products.

Mark my words, for I have seen the future!

Halo looks tops but I'm sure that Rare can better it (even if we do have to wait a couple of years :-(!).

What looks REALLY great it how 4 Xbox's (each Xbox with 4 players) can be linked up using a special cable.
I'm hoping that Nintendo release a similar cable ready for the likes of Rogue Spear and Turok Evolution.

16 player games rule!

The Xbox might do better than I first thought. I saw Halo running today, and I want that game!!!!

It was fast, it was smooth, it was colourful, and most importantly, it looked like a fun game to play!!

you think that would'nt ya but no one know the future SO DON'T QUESTION UNCLE

Especially if it retails at £199. God, Sony really know how to use market tactics

Someone was saying somthing about a special limited edition PS2/MGS2 bundle will come out a week after X-box launch. That could be quite a killer.

There are rumours that there is an MGS shortage already
