It won't work. XBox has too much of a geeky image.

*I am not a fanboy. I have no views on XBox as a console, I played Spiderman once on it and didn't know the buttons. Dying followed*

Wake up, Asher! the GameCube's the last console Nintendo are gonna make. you have no idea what Microsoft should focus on. everyone was "wowed" about the Xbox. Microsfot are bringing out their second Xbox in 2006 people say. and people'll be even more excited about that near to it's time. "Halo looks good" doesn't come 0.5 of an inch to describe Halo. as i've cleared up "what this topic is about" i think you should zip it.

Ho Ho. You take yourself (and me) far too seriously. I don't care about a console's stereotype, never played an XBox properly and Halo looks good. XBox has a sort of geeky image, but then I know a lot of people who aren't geeks who have one.
This topic is saying that XBox cannot try and buy companies to get good. They need to focus on getting XBox 2 out before Nintendo and Sony do so everyone will be wowed and buy it.

Street Fighter wasn't cartton. can't you tell the difference between Mario and E.Honda? don't bother answering that, it was rehoritical.

and how do cartoon games have more sucess? Halo's not cartoon. and it's won heaps of awards. as will Halo 2...and more

The Xbox and PS2 is aimed at everyone.

"Geek" is just a childish, retarded, immature, primative word use by idiots who think they are hard.....

No. Gamecube is aimed at everyone, and especially people who are grown up and mature enough to know that un-life like graphics doesn't mean It's for kids. They are grown up and mature enough to not care if their peers think they 'un-cool' because they play games with cartoon graphics, because they are the best games without a doubt.

Most of the people who buy a PS2 or X-box buy it because it's full of games with blood, even if they are all crap. This makes them 'cool' apprently.

It's funny how in the SNES era, most of you, and every other gamer (of any age) would happily sit down and play Mario World, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong etc. All of which had cartoon graphics. But now, suddenly, anything with cartoon graphics is crap and for five year olds.

PS2 is for sheep who follow the crowd and as for Nintendo, I grew outta their games when I stopped drawing with crayons. ;-)

Only kidding by the way before any serious posters come in and think I'm attacking them. ;-)

Asher D, I cannot beleive how stupid and retarded a guy can get. I am not stooping to your level.

The Xbox is a video games console, Same as the Gamecube and the PS2 They all have Geeky images, except their not geeky, Gaming is becoming very popular worldwide.

So i think you should shut your mouth, I am beginning to think all PS2 owners have the same IQ level as you.
