XBox Delayed

This fanboy-ism is repulsive.

Your'e probably all the type that wear corporate logos prominently. That's a disturbing trend.

PLAY VIDEOGAMES.

Jesus! Is that so hard?

Now before I go on with this post....people must understand I am a gamer...not a fanboy of any type..I play any game I deem fun for me no matter what console or platform....I see no colors here.

However...

Alot of the posts I see here are laden with crap. For one I think the Xbox is a great idea...the XBox has landed a great lineup for itself, considering this is MS's first foray into this market. I dont think the Sony Playstaion or the N64 had this much going for it in the beginning (64DD anyone?).

People are going to be more critical of the Xbox...becuase its MS and they are just waiting lying around like starving hyenas...waiting for it to fail. Which it wont. MS wont let it, its too much of an investment to just drop it.

The Xbox is great for not only PC developers but console devs as well. Its easier to develop for, and has much more powerful features and hardware than what is currently available. For PC devs, it should be familiar developing for the Xbox...I mean now, PC game devs dont make a ton of money...partly because half of the so called "hard core pc gamers" out there, Pirate their damn games....now with the console market being 10 times larger than that of the PC market...well you do the math...PC game devs lose out on a TON of $$ they rightfully deserve.

Console games are pirated also...but pc titles are pirated far more than console titles.

If you dont like the Xbox, cool, right on, whatever, if you do, right on, cool, whatever...BUT if you dont like the XBox and you are going to put it down, at least back it up with somehting solid...no more of this "I was hanging out with the devs and they told me the Xbox sucks I did have to sign an NDA but MS said I could tell you that the devs think the XBox sucks".

Personally I see the delay as a godsend. I would rather wait one more week so that everyone that preordered can enjoy the XBox, or people can walk in and just buy one and enjoy it....rather than having those who preordered wait 2-3 weeks after launch for MS to keep up with the previous demand and deal with the demands after launch.

the PS2 was late, the GS will be late....big deal..get over it...spend some time with your kids, wife, girlfriend, or friends...there are better things to do than to worry about this.

I've been over to Microsoft a few times to talk with some of the developers of in house Xbox titles that are being made. I've also seen a bunch of movies of anticipated games coming out. I had to sign an "nda" so I can't say very much about what I saw. Xbox will do about as well as Dreamcast did. I think they will be lucky to sell a half million units. The titles I was asked to evaluate where all plain crap. They just don't have any aces up their sleeve. They've got halo which I got an extended look at. Quite a cool game. It's came a long way. However comparing it to what I've seen from upcoming games I'm not very impressed. Halo is ultimately doomed by lack of multiplay support and the interface ie gamecontroller is pathetic compared to mouse/keyboard.

Nintendo gamecube on the other hand I've never actually got a chance to see it in person. Only movies online. I predict gamecube will come in second. However Nintendo doesn't need anything more then GBA. GBA's just dominate anything else out there as far as making money goes. Playstation 2 is going to win the "console war"

I predict that the Gamecube will win.

doh.. nov 7th is my bday
i was expecting a nice post-bday gift

still.. 15th ain't that far away

i'm excited about: smash bros melee for gamecube, anything gba, tales of destiny 2 for ps, mgs2 for ps2.

not interested: anything xbox. ;p

sorry folks, me no likely the xbox.

I was in software etc. today and they had all the games on the shelves for the xbox (without the games of course) and i was looking at them and i didnt find not one i would want to play when it comes out. Well Halo being the only exception.

Im going to be getting a Gamecube once either Zelda or Metriod comes out. Then

BAMO! I WILL BE TEH MAN-O

If both systems come out and fall on their faces, Sony is going to sweep this season, thus killing any chance for their being a real battle.

wtf! this is whack!

Ding, Ding, Ding: Microsoft Fanboys vs Nintendo Fanboys: FIGHT!! Go Nintendo!

Anyone know what is causing this shit? Browser setting in IE6 for winXP or something?

ARGH

Ummm Xbox is still coming sooner...

Did you see how nVidia stock tanked because of the X-box numbers slippage. Maybe it will go down again because of this.

Part of my just died.

7 more days, damn!

*looks up from castlevania: cotm and mario kart*

...

*continues playing*

This fuckin sucks. How can I be expected to wait 7 more days??

They'll probably blame 9-11 too, which is total crap. Everyone's blaming that for the fact that they're dumbasses.

All I can really say about this... well this entire Microsoft Console deal is WHAT A FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT! I really had high hopes... but, in the end, they fucked themselves.

Micr(_O_)S(_O_)ft

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

PURE COMEDY GOLD!!!

Screw the xbox and the gamecube, I'm going back to play advance wars and mario kart advance on my GBA.

I think they realized the steel sub-frame couldn't support the machine's weight.
Engineers are redesigning to increase structural integrity.

when does the gc launch ?

They need that extra week to include that last-minute GameCube/PS2 support!

My prediction: 3 units, Dec 12. 100,000 units by next summer.

This should make for some interesting fanboy/anti-fanboy discussions. <yawn>

I can't say I surprised. If their "we can produce 100-150K units per week" number is on target, that gives them roughly enough time to add a fairly significant amount of consoles for the launch (bringing them back to being close to their original estimate?)

first

BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
