Well who thinks that the x-box has gone down the pan or thinks tht it has really taken off in the uk. Personnaly i thinkthat the x-box is a glorafied pc thare has been sevearl factors in its dimise
1.Over priced
2.Far o big to look attractive
3.A very small range of good games
4.Nothing rewally speacial coming up for it
5.(yes five)No classic titls(Like Mario & Liugi for Nintendo)

Any one that can find good thing about this box of horour then please tel me.

Why do people post threads like this? I don't own an x-box, and I probably never will, yet I don't think the console is crap. It's a good machine, and has some good games to play on it, if I had the time and money I'd probably own the console, along with my PS2 and GC.

Open your eye's and you'll see that all consoles have their good and bad points, if you don't like it, then don't buy it. Play on your other consoles and forget about the x-box. Posting things like this always gets a negative reaction.

You say that xbox has overtaken the gc in sales it's hardly suprising considering that xbox has been out longer

If you honestly think 200 quid is expensive a console as powerful as the XBOX then you are a pr!ck.

Irrelevant. If you find a console's exterior attractive then you need your head examining.

> 3.A very small range of good games

After just a couple of months in it's existence we have Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Jet Set Radio Future, Dead or Alive 3, Oddworld, Amped, Rallisport Challenge, Gun Valkyrie - all quality titles and all exclusives.

Do yourself a favour and buy this month's Official XBOX mag and educate yourself.

Halo is already a recognized exclusive classic, so you're wrong again.

15 people in my year. And there is only 78 people. THe sales of the xbox are reasonably high and improving, we have even takin over the gc sales in japanwhich does surprise me. But Japan isnt a very big market. IN america the xbox was selling like hot cakes they are selling loads over there.

What kind of gamer are you? Xbox you get a modem and harddrive. PS2 you dont price to get those around £100!! NOw prices lok like this-

xbox- 199
Ps2- 299

If you would check out the comparison between the ps2 and the xbox then you would understand that the xbox was worth it. Oh why didnt you post this in the xbox forum or PS2 forum?
