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?

It is not called Celda, it was dubbed that by Press and others. I will choose Super Mario Sunshine!

This annoys me!
IDIOT!
You won't win GAD for this because it's a biast lump of crap, being 14 means nothing!
I'm 17 1/2 and I still havn't won, my excuse is that SR have a grudge against me. (Actually thy've got a poster saying, 'DON'T GIVE GAD TO PHI11IP' but we won't go there!)
You truthfully know that you are only saying this because you are a little idiot who thinks it's 'cool' to bad-mouth the XBOX.

When's the PS2 topic gonna be written!?!
Just go away you little freak!

CELDA is the new Cell Shaded Zelda, look on gamescreenshots.com for more. I think I may choose Super Mazza Sunshine. That is IF.
