Anyway, I think X-Box could do very well this Christmas with its releases and X-Box Live helping sales. Its a tough one to call though because although PS2 isn't particularly the best console for its price, it still has that popularity of being the console to own in a lot of peoples eyes.
It really comes down to the games that are out by Christmas and who is looking for what.
I wouldn't say X-Box has Christmas all wrapped up, but I think it stands a good chance of doing very well. I mean since the price drop, I've seen a few people say the likes of "got to have one now at that price" so obviously this looks like it could be a good move by Microsoft as its not much more expensive than a GC now.
I guess really its a case of wait and see.

What's ironic about anything? the guy wrote a biased post do you really expect anything other than what I replyed?
What pieced me off about Res was he was going around slating consoles, nothing like this. Just cause he's your cousin doesn't mean you have to stick up for him, fact is he was going round posting like an inbred. He seems to be sorting himself out now.
But in computer gaming, a good chance.
Im still selling mine and now you saisd about chrismas ill sell it to one of my mates parents for my mate,lol, that way i still get to play on it.

You make it sound like there are no Ninties that are biased. I go into the Ninty forum and see posts like this all the time (although of course pro GC).
The difference is, when they do it in their own forum, you don't find a bunch of X-Box owners jumping down their throats over it.
The thing is, for every plus point someone has the cheek to mention about the X-Box on here, there seems to be 2 or 3 Ninties to jump in saying "no, no, thats wrong !"
In the end, an X-Box owner could be fogiven for coming in here and wondering what the hell the X-Box is good for. You Ninties just can't seem to bare the thought that the X-Box has strong areas over the GC.
Of course the main area to worry about is games and thats always gonna come down to taste. But it seems that whenever an X-Box owner has the nerve to talk about the X-Box's other capabilities, they are immediately slated and ripped into by Ninties.
An X-Box owner will say the likes of "the graphics on Halo are bloody great !" and guaranteed within a few minutes of posting that, a bunch of Ninties will storm in with comments like "nothing the GC can't do" and "Resident Evil looks better so thats that".
Then of course theres the real pathetic ones. As soon as a poster praises the DVD capabilities or the consoles ability to upload tracks to use in games, they tend to get the likes of "well, your not a real gamer - GC is designed with only games in mind so its better". I mean, what kinda crap is that ??
I'm not sticking up for my cousin, I'm sticking up for this forum. No doubt if a Ninty had posted this in the Ninty forum but with GC in place of X-Box, knowone would care and would just add their ideas for whats going to happen. Of course if an X-Box poster went into the topic and disagreed in the same way you just did, he'd get the crap verbally kicked outta him.
> You make it sound like there are no Ninties that are biased.
That's a load of crap, I'm fully aware that there's tons of biased Ninty idiots. I'll be the first one to jump down thier throats when they spew out their crap. Res wouldn't have received so much abuse if it had been one comment like biased fools do, fact is he carried on posting crap and repeatedly said that he was doing it to p!ss people off. What do you expect us to do, sit back and let him insult us?

Since when? as far I was aware these are disgussion forusm I come in here to have a disgussion not to verbally beat the crap out of someone who doesn't agree with my opinions. There are the occasional idiots who come in here and do that but most Ninty's will have a go at these fools and tell them to shutup.
You Ninties just can't

Sav mate get things into perspective, you're begginging to sound like Res. Not all Ninty's are like that at all, I'm willing to admit there are many areas that the Xbox is better on. It's only a few inbreds that let the side down by spurting off constant bull crap about "ya console gay, me smash box wiv fase"

I'm sorry if that's the case but I can gurantee you I don't take any part in this.

Well poke them in the eyes and pull their underpants over their heads.

I don't know and I'm not part of it, as I said above poke them in the eyes and pull their pants over their heads.

Not at all, it's not like I said he was wrong I just said if you say so e.g I don't think so but think what you want. I know there's a lot of stupid people in the Nintendo forum and I hold no responsibilty for them but don't take their actions and blame everyone who likes Nintendo.
God this place is getting way to serious recently, I'm gonna go and sit down.
