What is with this wild-eyed glee I see some idiots screaming about the Xbox failing? Why? Explain where this toe-head ignorance and bias comes from.
Go on, I dare you.
I may laugh at the Gamecube, but it’s never serious nor could I care less at the end of the day.
Yet there still, even now in this day and age, persists this retarded “hahaha Xbox failing” mindset that makes me want to slap each and every one of you nearsighted idiots.
Strong language? Hardly, the filter is preventing the full extent of my disgust from reaching your mono-glot, paralysed frontal lobes.
Listen to me and listen good, you drooling babies:
The Xbox should succeed, just as the Gamecube should, just as the PS2 should.
Why?
Because the more consoles there are out there, the wider choice of games you have to choose from.
Think about it for one single second without your retarded gurglings.
Imagine your perfect world.
There is one console and it rules all. Doesn’t matter who makes it, the fact is that there is now just 1 console.
You don’t have any choice anymore.
This company can charge what it wants to, release what games it wants to and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
The lack of choice and options presented by your shiny new console master has removed the need for better games and innovation.
Why?
Because there’s no market to go for anymore, it’s sewn up with just 1 machine. Complacency sets in, the business stagnates and we *all* lose out at the end of the day.
Having no competition removes the necessity to strive for better. That’s why our railways are in such a state of crapness and why you’ve only been able to get decent net access since BT caved in and lost it’s monopoly on telecommunications.
We need competition in order to push things forward, we need that choice to make developers realise if they churn out the same old crap, then we’ll just switch consoles. It benefits us all to have as many consoles out there as possible.
It forces companies to try and out-do each other.
That’s called commerce and it will benefit us all kids.
Should Microsoft “fail”, that leaves Nintendo and Sony.
Just 2 companies to choose from. And what if they decide to merge?
I’ll tell you what, we’re all screwed and lose the chance to play different games on different machines.
So why this glee? Why this retarded, ill-informed, moronic tree-dwelling toss that I’ve been reading here since the price drop from Microsoft AND Nintendo?
Why are you not glad that there are these consoles out there?
Why are you so Rev Jim Jones about the idea that we may be left with little choice and the possibility that the entire genre goes flat?
Why?
Because you’re blinkered children, that’s why.
Prove different to me though, explain exactly why you want to see the Xbox fail.
Because so far, all I’ve heard are playground taunts and the usual drek that surfaces.
I’m done with this topic now, it’s as boring as 85% of the other topics you scream about.
Go on, I dare you.

How?
This is my question to you child.
Show me the figures, get me the links that show your idiot ramblings.
I dare you to provide me with one single link that says "Xbox is failing".

Ah, but I don't beg and plead for the end of Nintendo do I?
No, I point out that Nintendo's market is the younger gamers/Asian markets, who do not like tough games.
There is a difference between saying "Nintendo is for babies" and saying "Nintendo is failing hahahahaha"
I just smell jealousy from you, because

When did I?
Show when I "so vehemently backed them".
I bought one. jealousy of what? Explain what I'm jealous about.

Yes. I did read it, however I thought I would post about you accusing me a few weeks ago of hating Microsoft for no reason about from jealously.

No Microsoft in console market = New Sega console to take its place :)
Look at it this way, when the snes and mega drive were in competition we saw great games. Quit your moanin' and be glad there are lots of consoles to keep gaming standards high. (although there is a lot of completely rubbish games out there, anything to make a fast buck.)
I find it funny that people argue over consoles. They are electrical appliances made to amuse. Nothing more.
Aaaah. Those were the days. (I still have the scars, both mental and physical)
(Referring to the first post)
That's so true.
Nobody should care about 'the console wars' and 'which console is better'.
If i could buy them all I would, but as that is financially unadvisable i'll just have to settle with the one that looks like it may have the right features to suit me. I'm not saying that by buying this console I have made prolific indications toward my choice of lifestyle, i'm just....., well, i'm just buying something that I can have fun playing on.
Having said that, I don't actually have any current plans to buy a next-generation console, as i am concentrating my funds on guitar whatsits and other things.

There's one problem though, let me talk you through it.
You know how Clutch is great, but nobody buys their albums because the market is full of Limp Biskits and Nicklebacks?
Well, you see, that's what I'm afraid of happening.
One day, no, really, you're going to get bored of walking around and shooting things in games. Sure, it's great fun if you're in the mind for just five minutes of fun... but there are games out there that can last lifetimes. Nobody buys them because they aren't advertised, or don't appeal to people because of misjudged stereotypes.
Like Skies of Arcadia. It's an RPG. I hate RPG's. Before Skies, I've never even tried to play a real RPG properly. They all bored me with stats stats and more stats.
But then I saw the light, brother. Skies of Arcadia came to me in the post, and I did play, and yeay, did I play.
You all suck because you don't believe me how good it is. Well, not all of you. I'm slowly converting you. Rasta, er-no, Meka, Starlight and the like. You rule. :0D

Bill Gates is a fantastic business man. That's all I have to say about that.
And Halo is coming to PC AND Mac. Still. It was confirmed the other day.
