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!!!!

What games? Well, the 4 I got at launch were TimeSplitters, Ridge V, Tekken Tag and NHL - all of which were brilliant for the time they were released. Great games that people were familiar with (except TimeSplitters), but which looked better than ever before, and retained all of the playability.
I can't list all the titles because I can't remember them, but I do remember the quantity because I clearly recall telling a friend, "this is an expensive hobby - I've only had it 4 months, and I've already got more than 10 games."
As for the rest of my opinions on the state of the Xbox software market, I've given it all in detail before. So, to save me going over more "old ground", just go and re-read my previous posts on the subject. I can't be arsed going through it all again! :-)

Plus at the time, what else was there besides the pap coming out on PS2 ? PS2 owners wanted PS2 games, they didn't want to buy PS1 titles. So basically it was a question of settling for what Sony were releasing. This is whats happened for X-Box, except that it at least had some excellent launch titles.
What games were they Wookie?
Just because you bought 10 PS2 games in that space of time it doesn't mean they were of better quality than Xbox games.
The summer months for Xbox were poor, as it was with PS2. Your going over old ground here!
I have 10 games so far for my Xbox(3 of them free :P).
I have more than enough to play, I'm very happy.

All opinion, mate.
In this space of time with my PS2, I had over 10 games. I still only have 4 for Xbox.
But as I say, it's opinion. Mine is still that MS should have launched Xbox this month or next - the last 7 have been a waste of time for me as an Xbox owner.

Wookie - there has still been more high quality X-Box games than what PS2 managed in the same space of time. Not just that, but over the months, more and more excellent games have been announced for the console along with announcements such as Rare and the details of X-Box Live. To me, thats an excellent effort on Microsoft's part.
I agree sav. MS are doing a great job.

Whitestripes - Nintendo and Sega might have got their success from home made games, but they started in early days and have had years to establish themselves.
Sony didn't exactly win people over with home made games and had to rely on other methods and Microsoft's strong advantage is its money which means it can secure games for the X-Box. I'm sure there wouldn't be any moaning on your part if Nintendo suddenly started buying companies to get more games on the GC.
Plus developers like working on the X-Box as it is easy to develop games for. Afterall, Microsoft went to developers and asked them what they'd like the X-Box to do.
I can't speak for all X-Box owners, but personally, I'm happy for Microsoft to grab PC titles along the way as they tend to be well known, high quality and popular games. For me, the X-Box has a very nice mix of games which include excellent PC titles, multiformat console titles such as Timesplitters 2 and MGS Substance, the best titles Sega has to offer and now Rare bringing their offerings.
As far as I see, the X-Box will have something for all tastes. Rare and Sega are bringing games that will offer originality and the high quality we've come to expect of them, companies such as Bungie will be bringing the best FPS games around such as Halo 2, Unreal, Quake 4, etc and other developers will be covering other genres.
Personally, all I think the X-Box needs now to really add variety to the X-Box line up is a company such as Westwood Studios to cover the strategy games with titles such as the Command and Conquer series.
