Here are a few reasons why the X-Box won't make it past christmas 2004...
~Just a PC
It has an image that it is just a PC in diguse. This may not be true, but once the public get something into there heads, it is impossible to get it out. Microsoft didn't help the situation by having all that storage space on the console - like a PC has memory.
~By Microsoft
Anybody who has ever used a PC that has windows on will have cursed Bill Gates once because of it crashing. It's bad enough when you are in the middle of a battle on Unreal Tournament, but what about when you are approaching the final whistle on FIFA and it goes? Okay, so this might not happen, but I still wouldn' trust them after my strife with Microsoft
~Coffee Table
Look at the size of the darn thing for gods sake. If I didn't know better I would just think it was an overpriced coffee table. What you really don't want is a console that takes up half of the living room.
~No 'Mascot'
All the best developers have mascots. Nintendo have Mario and Zelda, Sega has Sonic, Sony has Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, but who has the X-Box got? Abe aside, they have no-one, and a mascot is what you really need to kick start your sales.
~Half Price
When First released, the X-Box was a massive £300, which fell to £200 a few months later. Now, as an attempt to pick up sales they have lower it another £40. Some may say it is competition, but I say it is desperateness.
~Control Bricks
The control pads, like the console itself, are huge. When are you ever going to need 3 contol sticks? it shows its hugeness when you have to press pause. With any other pad its simple. Not with the X-Box. You have to lift your hand to press it, a definate turn-off. How can you enjoy games if you have to think about the control pad all the time?

The PS2, GC and Xbox have memory, does that make them PC's? NO!
The Xbox is a *games console* Yes a GAMES CONSOLE, No need to update graphics cards, drivers. The Hard drive is used for faster loading times and vast gameworlds.

WTF?
Windows = Operating System
Xbox = Games console
In fact Windows does'nt crash, its the programs that people put on it that work incorrectly with the system causing it to crash.

That's the spirit, X-boxes would cost too much tho, just get a few coffee tables and paint them black, no one will notice the difference
