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.

That is the longest sentence I have ever read in my life.

Opinions on which console you like is one thing, but the constant mis-informed pap that spills from an awful lot of people here annoys me.

I posted an interview with the guy from Microsoft about why he resigned etc. Did Totoro, er-no etc take the time to read it?
No.
They clapped their hands over their ears and went "Lalalalalcan'thearyoulalala".

Idiots.

I dont really care if the xbox fails or not i'm just getting a GC because I like it, same reason you have an Xbox because you like it, it does'nt matter who many people like you extract the urine out of GC likewise vice cersa, and to be honest I dont really care what the PS2 does at the moment as it seems insignificant to me, we all have views on consoles and also the right to express those views i'm not exactly saying the xbox is crap or anything, i'm just saying that in my opinion the GC is better because that is my console of choice, just like the xbox is your console of choice and so you will say that the Xbox is better, if this is the case then no consoles are better then each other and all these petty arguements are kind of well retarded, but it's obvious that in the world of gaming everyine has there favourite console and therefore everyone agrees to disagrees and will probally continue to do so for years and years, *sigh* what is this world coming to?
