Microsoft dont think they just move mouth before operating brain, The Y-Box may be bug infested just like windows, they know people will buy the console if it starts from 400 and goes up why? because they will boost it and hype it so much, they will have the advert that says the welcome to the 56th place!!
Microsoft were sued because they released windows95 with bugs on purpose, they knew people had to buy upgrades and waste more money on software they didn;t need because 2 months after that out came windows98 which was WORSE!! They were then sued again for monopolyising the market and the company was becoming sooo strong because people had to buy and buy to make there PC's work, WIndows was then the ONLY Operating System in the households in the world. People were like 'Linux' wha?
People who defending microsoft only did thise because they had used no other, and even if they had they wouldn't understand its simplicity and ease of use. they wouldn't understand why there where no 'illegal operations' or no 'system failures'.
now lets see what they do when they enter probably the most competetive market of them all, the console and games market, companies go into liquidation everyday in this market, EIDOS had the 1 million selling WWTBAM and still they had loses on the last 1/4 of 2000. Sega were the Gaming Giant of 1994-95 and now they have been reduced to killing of there super console the dreamcast.
Microsoft are going into an unknown market and just opening there mouth with specs and big companies backing them because there know there is money to be made, so they are trying something new, give the company credit, I will, but I just feel Microsoft dont belong in this market, they are being outsold by most companies in there divison and they are no longer the Top Dogs, but this dog has sniffed a new bone and it has some meat on the end, the meat of Sony and Nintendo which has a limp attached to the console market.
All I can hope for all the X-Box fans is that microsoft dont mess up like they did with there past products.
Microsoft have the money, Microsoft have the fans, but do Microsoft have the sense?
Thanks
er-no
P.S I dont want Microsoft to upset a stable market like what they did with the PC market.

If Microsoft have money and advertising then they obviously have some sense and have fans.
Great interesting post, but I really do think it'll be a bug free experience. However, I doubt Bill Gates will rival the XBox against Mr Sony's harpered machine, as he will try and bring it on as 'the only' next gen console, when in fact it'll be about the same as everything else in the market, probably.
Anyway, stop reading my rubbish! Download Planet Funk: chase the sun! Then look @ the DC advert above - DC + 6 games!!!! All for £139.99? Methinks that's a great deal. Soul Calibur - unrivalled weaponary game, Sonic Adventure - I bet you haven't completed this if you haven't got a Dreamcast! Ready 2 Rumble? Quality game, great graphics! Sega Rally 2 is just superb, it's not quite arcade perfect, but then neither was the arcade (?)... And the others are just fun, hopefully.
May I be the first person to officially wish you a Merry Christmas for the year 2003.
