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.

??? IBM cast out a net to contract a company to write a basic operating system for their new computer system (IBM PC) and Bill Gates got the job.
The program he ripped off was Dr.DOS. However, at the time there were no laws against such a thing (though there is now), and since it was relativly common practice amongst developers, its hardly a condemable offence?

I dont mean to sound too harsh against Apple and thier systems, they are fine machines after all, but had HALO been releaed on the Mac then it would hardly have dented X-Boxs sales. If they were that obsessed with keeping HALO to themselves, why allow it to be released on the PC (a FAR larger market)?
Equally, I recently read that ActiveX, DirectX, etc.. where all to get Apple ports, making it far easier for developers to port games from the PC to the Apple... If MS hate Apple so much, why not stop this?

They arnt doing anything any other BUSINESS wouldnt do... Neither Sony and Nintendo would think twice about doing excatly the same thing if they were in MS's position

Microsoft certainly arn't saints, they are agressive, merciless and ambitious, despite their size but then they are a multi-national business, and I know of none that arnt blameless.
I would suggest that they do come off surprisingly well in comparison to many of the other larger companies, eg, IBM, MacDonalds, etc..

Sadly i did read that load of Microsoft propaganda. You really think that Microsoft would release a statement saying Seamus Blackley was fired for gross incometence? No, they made up all that drivel to show zealots like you that the Xbox is still ok.
I don't want Xbox to fail, i just like seeing you come out with these topics to try to convince yourself that the Xbox isn't failing, when we all know that it is. I'm just laughing at you. The Xbox hasn't lived up to expectation, admit it. How many decent games have come out in the last month.....silence.....none!
Then you go on to say: "Because so far, all I’ve heard are playground taunts"
That's the pot calling the kettle black when you call people morons, Nintendo players as kids etc.
Infact, you're the worst for taunting people in constantly laughing at Nintendo's family approach.
You dislike Nintendo, i dislike Microsoft, that's where we differ.
And i don't like being called an idiot, when you are the dancing loon who keeps talking rubbish. I just smell jealousy from you, because Microsoft are finding it difficult to crack the video games market, and you can't take it as you so vehemently backed them.
No doubt you will come out with some witticism about Nintendo fans as "fluffy cloud loving babies" come on say it.
Did i forget to say "Lalalalalcan'thearyoulalala"

well i've just read your post and it does'nt bother me that he's left Microsoft, just becuase he's left does'nt mean that the console is going to fail or anything, its just means that microsoft will carry on like normal and another company will probably benifit from Seamus Blackley's experience if he decides to join another games company that is, anyway this news is'nt any reason to make retarded comments about the xbox it's just to make the public aware that he has left, i mean if shigsy left Nintendo loads of people would start slagging off nintendo probably but to be honest, what is the point?

I'll tell you why I don't like the Xbox and, at this point, I'd like it to fail - because I can't get away from mindless taunts and gibberings from people unlike you and me, who aren't really gamers, but think they are because they have a console and only buy it because it has "lush graphics".
Yep, unfortunately for me, at school I am surrounded by these retarded bums at school, and believe it or not, Gamecube-jeering is as big a sport as it was yesterday, the day before and the day before that. So when I come onto this site and try and go back to my anticipation of the 'Cube without people telling me it's crap, I find people are taking the pee on here, too. And although I don't really join in with these ridiculous arguments, I would still happily oblige to the odd "Xbox is gonna fail coz it's poo". Sorry, but it's a great feeling to do insult it.
But then again, like you said Goatboy, I don't want it to fail, secretly. I love Halo and Project Gotham Racing, and I have been tempted to buy an Xbox. But I'm sticking to what I believe in: great games on a mighty console.

I'm a solid Nintendo fan!!!!!... but Microsoft as we all thought had gone a bit high with the price... but they lowered it... they can afford to... They could lower it to £50 and still make profit on it! Th same with Nitendo but Microsoft are greedy... they did the right thing by offering 2 games and a controller to those who paid £300 but tose together were worth about £15 at the most... Xbox weren't failing it's just to show they can be flexible... :D

I want to see the XBox fail because I personally dislike the company of Microsoft. No. I am not jealous of Bill Gates, although if he stole original plans of DOS from IBM then he really is a geeky monkey. His fame deserved to be someone elses.
Why else do I want the XBox to fail?
The main reason is that the company behind the game Halo were creating to game for Macintosh, Microsoft didn't want the MacOS to have such a good game and wanted something special for their new console.. they basically complete brought out the company including the current projects.
They are pigs who want more than they should have.
You are correct Goatboy. I agree with you on the more is better for us. However, if that is the case then Microsoft don't agree with you as they try and push everyone else out of the market of the PC world... and now moving to the Computer Gaming world.
I dislike the company. Just like I dislike Man Utd. I want it to fail, because I know that finally it will convince Microsoft they aint the King of the Swingers.

I see a lot of people at my school laughing at others who say the Xbox is better than the PS2. They are all dissing the Xbox, saying how its bad, selling poorly so they change the price etc. etc. I know we're entitle to our own opinion, but I think people should get their facts straight before they jump to their own conclusions. PS2 better than Xbox? Don't make me laugh...
Yyyyyyaaaaawwwwwwnnnn!
Not at Goatboy's post, but at the need for him and everyone else to keep posting this type of thing.
You'd think people would have caught on by now.
