Well, the war has begun for the number 1 console slot and xbox semms to be taking a firm grasp over the other 2 consoles. Xbox released on the 14 of March and has already sold over 16,000 consoles within the U.K making a much better launch than the Playstation 2 did.
I dont think the gamecube will do to well in this fierce war as the games just arent as exciting as the others and its just not popular enough to beat the massive company of microsoft or the long going playstation era.
I think xbox will turn out to be the daddy of consoles and will beat the playstation and the gamecube, many people will agree that xbox is just to powerfull for the oter two.

you might be in for some disappointment...the gameplay is very shallow -only one three hit combo, guns with the only difference being the colour of the bullets, no story really...bad ai...
well i played pso1 to death...and those are my thoughts on it.

Thanks Beanz. I knew I was missing something. Damn. It was right there. And as for being harsh, hey I'm a harsh person. It's ashame that Sega left. I did used to really hate them when it was Nintendo Vs. Sega, but you know after Sony got involved there was kind of a ..... bond, I guess. And that shines through today. Sega, Nintendo and Namco in the 'Triforce' arcade board. Sega have also influenced Nintendo's decision to go on-line dramatically. Which, is no bad thing, I'm looking forward to Phantasy Star Online.

i was actually referring to XBOX launch titles...not just any title.
i'd actually hazard to say it was more hyped up than mgs2....definitely hyped up for longer...it started a few years before the xbox was actually even thought up when it was being produced for the pc.

I agree - Sega made the better console and best games. They deserved to have more support with the Dreamcast but the fickle Joe Public swallowed Sony's advertising and went down the 'other' path. Now Sega's stopped making consoles. A shame. But what's this? Playstation owners raving and ranting about VF4, which is correct me if I'm wrong, a Sega game? Why do these people only see a good game when it's on their console? If it was being released on Dreamcast, Joe Public would be calling it rubbish, would still be climaxing over Tekken, and Special Reserve would not be stocking it. Playstation/2 owners: be quiet - you've already missed out on some 20 amazing games on Dreamcast that your console won't ever see. :o) Even if Special Reserve is among the crowd that ditched Sega as soon as cracks appeared.
At the end of the day, Sony is now on the other side of the table. Where once they had the cash advantage with Sega, spending more on advertising alone than Sega had altogether, now the boot is on someone else's foot and it's Sony's time to get its ar5e kicked.

No way, Metal Gear Soild 2 was probably the most hyped game!

If the X-Box fails (sales have slowed down dramatically since launch), then who cares? Microsoft is American, and everyone knows they'll do anything to win because of their ego. Microsoft will just buy Sony if they get too far ahead. :oP
And then Nintendo. At least that would be the end of consoles for kids ages 2-5 though, so not a bad thing.
We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile.

slightly harsh...it's true that there were loadsa bad games released (well that's one of the reasons why i didn't buy the ps1). there were the odd gems hidden among the giant catalogue namely the FF series, mgs.

>naturally...but there is always going to be tension no matter what cos each company wants to be the best.
I thought I'd already pointed that out.
I mentioned the "heading one way at the expense of someone else's" in the light of the Dreamcast. Sony is a very big electronics company. It influence people's decisions to almost the point of being brain-washed, with advertising, which a relatively small company like Sega, can't match up to. Everyone in the "casual gamer" stable passed the Dreamcast over, even though it offers more. So in the end it was the hardcore Sega fans who lost out. I'd also like to point out that people were made redundant too. This all happen for the Playstation owners to play on second-rate games on a console made by a heartless, corporate giant. This I think is just very, very unfair, it would take the most synicle (I think that's how it's spelt) person not to agree. I also think the fact that Sonic appeared on the GameCube first speaks louder than words.

It £500 for the other consoles on the also means I don't have to fork another market.
