really the capcom games can't really bring out the same games over and over again...this was like...the 5th resi evil game and it was a copy of the origanal (sort of).

the gaming companies need to create new ideas, like for example, stuntman and other titles like that

I never actually said there wasn't a respectable line up for Christmas, just that MS seems to like getting publishers and not games. Rare take a small eternity to produce anything decent - Starfox has taken nearly 4 years ! I was kinda interested in getting an Xbox this week with it being my birthday, but there are only 4 games I want - DOA3, HALO, PGR and Buffy, the rest, while being good, aren't good enough to convince me to buy an Xbox. Sure, there may be a great xmas line up from MS, but if only the Xbox owners know about it whats the point ?

There is a very respectable X-Box chrstmas lineup about to start being released (along with equally respectable PS2 and GC titles)...

Though, if I were an X-Box owner, I wouldnt be in such a hurry to get my mitts on the Rare, etc.. titles... They have only just been snaped up by MS, I'd rather give them a little time to sort themselves out rather than being delt out with rushed titles?

Get used to people speaking like that, Xbox owners have a tendency to stamp there feet and type incoherently every time someone says anything about their precious Box. They're so immersed in convincing themselves that they haven't wasted their money and that the Xbox is selling well that everytime someone says something negative about it they tend to explode.

I think if I was an Xbox owner I'd like to see some games now, not Microsoft piling money into firm after firm... It's all very well trying to buy all these people up, but Microsoft are still yet to make a profit from the Xbox, and I think Microsoft's shareholders may not dismiss that as easily as gamers will ! Sure, long terms plans are great, that waht Sega tried to tell their investors with the DC.

Nintendo signed a deal with Capcom. That would still stand. However, Nintendo have also just got a fair bit of money from Microsoft for their stake in Rare, perhaps THEY are looking to buy Capcom?

If it does turn out to be true, what of Nintendo's exclusive Resident Evil deal?
