"Xbox: Home of the PC & PS2 Conversion!"

Not wanting to start a "mine console is better than yours" argument, but I was just looking through the latest Special Reserve mag, when I noticed a strange trend amongst the Xbox games: a high percentage are conversions from the PC or PS2! (I know that the GC has a certain amount of conversions like Burnout, Crazy Taxi, Sonic 2, but the Xbox has loads!!)

Badlurs Gate: Dark Alliance
Burnout
Champ Manager 01/02
Commandos 2
Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex
Dark Summit
David Beckham Soccer
F1 2002
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Onimusha
Grand Prix 4
Giants
GTA3
Legends of Wrestling
Soul Reaver 2
Max Payne
Allied Assault
Loads of NFL, NBA, NHL titles
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Silent Hill 2
Simpsons Road Rage
SSX Tricky
Spy Hunter
Tony Hawks 3
Jedi Starfighter
Unreal Championship
And Deus Ex 2 is coming soon (yet another PC conversion)
Colin Mcrae 3
Metal Gear Solid 2??
etc etc

Plus loads of tired sequals or multi platform releases like Spider-Man the Movie, Galleon, Cel Damage, Mike Tyson Boxing, TOCA Race Driver, FIFA, Dave Mirra etc.

Where are all the killer Xbox exclusives like Halo, Dead or Alive(sequal), JSR Future(sequal), Project Gotham(remake/sequal), Oddworld(sequal)?

Gamers want original titles, not a load of conversions don't they?

Who ever said the Xbox was a PC disguised as a console?;)

what's a sequal?

what's a sequal?

what's a sequal?

Anyway, i gotta go...

got work in the morning

(a hard life yes)

*Argueing with Turbonutter...Classic days of FOG*

*sigh*

:D

Ifs and buts...

The solid facts show more GameCube sales at launch.

New console launches aint exactly a regular thing for one particular company are they? Usually at least 5 years between them for each company...How in Gods name could have Sony (A huge sodding company) messed up the number of PS2s produced for the Europeon launch?! (yes, somthin to do with some sort of dodgy chip or somthin)

Also, You will find many people still waiting for their Cube's...

SR coudnt deliver to everyone at launch day and some people who ordered from SR still havnt got thier GameCube now...The Distribution of GameCubes was a bit wrong in that sense as some people could just walk into a store like Comet and buy one straight away without pre-ordering.

Only because of the stock shortages, and the GC sold only little more. If the stock had been there, who knows how many PS2s would have been sold? Certainly more than the GC, at any rate.

glad you proved your point...

But end of the day the Cube has sold more than what the PS2 did at launch.

Well, that's beside the point...

I completed it in one day as well, but there is still much more to do after completing it for the first time...

Like for example, when you complete it going on the higher path you get a special ending where Fox's dead dad comes back as a ghost and guides him through a building that is blowing up...
