I wish to god i never bought it, i was under the impression that you could play original xbox games on it with no hassel, not have to download crap of the rubbish xbox live which is a complete PAIN to set up, its the worst console ever, and there is a crap selection of games too  _______________ I was a child when I joined the JA...scary. |

Quote: Microsoft is taking a loss on each console of the 360 that they sell. Why?http://www.twistedpolygon.net/content/view/85/50 That is just one result when I searched for it. Basically what is boils down to is that the cost of everything they are sticking into it costs them more than what they are selling it for. The idea is, that the company takes a loss so everyone buys the console. Then they make a profit on additional controllers, memory cards, games. "We sell product A at a $100 loss, so we're $100 in the negative. But because the people with product A also want to buy Products B, C, D, E, and F we will make a $600 profit on those. Our Net gain is then $500." That's what they're going for. The biggest hindrance to the video game market is the price of the console. You keep that low enough and people will be willing to spend the $50 on new games. PS3 and 360 are both being jam packed with all this new high powered stuff that is making them expensive to build. Nintendo is looking to keep it simple and pack as much quality as possible while getting great gameplay that could possibly allow them to even make a profit on their console. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Quote: Actually Rogue, I think you'll find it's you that sucks, and not the wonderful Xbox 360.  I love it. Call of Duty 2 is the only game I have right now but it keeps me occupied-a-plenty! Ain't got live, and I doubt i'll get it, but omg! What a joyous machine!  I pre-ordered Oblivion today. If JJ likes it...it is good enough for me. |

Quote: Nah Nitendos for kids games. Besides Nintendo is being silly by doing things like adding in a harddrive thing that can save your games to (if Im not mistaken) everyone knows you can get your Xbox modded to get that done. Im waiting till they stop making games for Xbox, by that time the 360 will be alot cheaper. actually the xbox 360 comes with a hard drive if u ask for it, 20gb one and you actually need that to be able to play old XBOX games on your xbox 360 _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

Quote: I've also heard that the Revolution will be fully backwards compatible with Gamecube. As well it might have the ability to play all the older console games as well. With their focus on gameplay instead of just shear power they also might be able to have the console start out cheaper than either the xbox 360 or ps3, and still make money on it. Microsoft is taking a loss on each console of the 360 that they sell. Sony is likely to be doing the exact same thing with the ps3. Yeah, also if early indications are to be believed Nintendo have apparently seen the flaws in their marketing and are going to rectify it for the Revolution, personally i don't see them as a kids company, but i can see why some people do as they have released some very good 'colorful' games. If they advertise it like they are advertising the DS that would show a distinct change however, as the way the DS is advertised (in the UK at least) is far from 'kiddy'. Oh and when it comes to profits Nintendo certainly are not in as bad a state as some people think, what with their strong hold on the Portable market, at least until the PSP, and their profits from such things as Pokemon, they are doing alright. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Quote: Cuzza, have you ever played a PS3? I hope the PS3 owns the Xbox 360 to be honest... Sony are evil, and as such i cannot support the PS3, while i have heard both positive and negatives about the 360, i think it could do well, it has more quality games out at the moment than the PS2 did at this point after its launch and look at how that turned out. Personally i'm still waiting for when the Revolution comes, until then my pc has everything i need. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Wait for the developers to make the good games. Such as Halo 3! But that won't come out anytime soon. I'm waiting to buy one, after good games come out and they work the kinks out. _______________ Axion - Yeah. This comment was edited by Axion on Mar 13 2006 01:33am. |
