"Xbox-The new Sinclair 5?"

Why oh why did Billy try and take on the Sony Mafia?? It was obvious from day one that the 'Black Suitcase' was money down the toilet! The head honcho's down at Microsoft should of known more that anyone that plastering London(where I live) with the XBox insignia was not going to fool the game-buying public?...Sony 4 Ever!!!!

Nintendo may of revoultionised the controller, But NOT the games. Nintendo made games based on the early versions, gemase you are playing games were influenced by games made a very long time ago.

I don't know much about the amiga, but I do know that what you've just said is complete bull. Nintendo invented most of the genres and ideas we now see in games. The acclaimed platform genre, analogue stick, rumble feature and action/adventure game to name but a few.

Amiga??
I used to have one of those and from I can remember it had a keyboard and was considered a home computer...For the record, Atari invented gaming...

Yes, Nintendo got the unjustified kiddy image when it was only family games on their console. Unfortunately, some people interpreted this as a childish console, due to the lacking in adult games. By making family games, that children, teenagers and adults alike can play, and throwing in that trademark innovation too, they reach the widest variety of people.

However, they are now expanding, and realising that it's good to have some games for dedicated ages. They have announced a few adult games as well as this. How about Metroid Prime and Eternal Darkness, for example? Realism is unlike Nintendo, so you won't find them doing that. They will however, explore, expand and create new genres using their unique imagination.

Hmm.. the PSOne was a fantastic console though, and I think you'll agree, relatively a lot better than the X-Box in it's time.

ROFL, "invented gaming?" LOL! Nintendo never invented anything that we see in games, Early consoles is what started it all off (such as the amiga)

Well your pocket calculator is better than your Xbox as it can peform mathamtaic operations that you use for everyday life. Also the pocket calculator is better than the XBox because: -

• Its portable
• It can help with Math homework
• It can help people unsure about complicated math problems
• It can help work out how much you owe your mate after going to the pub
• You can make rudewords when you turn the pocket claculator upsidedown and make yourslef giggle like a girl
• You can greet friends next to you by using the 0.7734 during meetings

Thats a few explanations on how the pocket calculator beats the Xbox....

A shame, because I sometimes think you're hilarious.

As for the rest... blah blah blah, whatever. I'm not repeating again things that I've already told you a hundred times over.

I'll stick to speaking with people like Sav and Tom, who can at least appreciate that something is intended as a joke, even if they don't find it particularly funny.


> but now if someones doesn't like the Xbox then good for them

Then you might appreciate this, as supplied in FoG Chat by er-no...

Now if you'll excuse me...

Oi, Savatt - c'mere, I wanna tell you why my pocket calculator is better than Xbox...

Exactly, Nintendo got their kiddy image when they had to rely on their own games - hence, they don't cater for as wide a taste as Sega does. When Sega make games, they really vary things. On one hand, you'll have say a cell shaded cartoony platformer such as JSRF, on the other, a realistic racing game like Sega GT 2002. They make games such as Monkeyball, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Virtua Fighter, Shinobi, Sonic - all with different styles. Nintendo on the other hand, although making say an RPG, a shoot em up, etc, tend to stick with cutesy characters everytime. Metroid Prime being the one exception.
Name one videogame that is considered adult and made by Nintendo.

Sony did the same as Microsoft - they bought a few small companies and recieved loads of third party support - just like Microsoft are now. Only difference is that Microsoft managed to get Rare who are well known.
