Do someone now if Halo 3 are coming on the first xbox?

Hey Joy what makes my statement seem fanboyish. I would like to know since I definitely ain't no fanboy.

it can only be a contender in the fps market. Comparing gta:sa or the FF series would not make sense.

Well a feather in the cap is a feather in a cap. I personally think Sony has the upper hand with titles like GTA and Final Fantasy in their stable and Microsoft needs comparible titles in each of those genres. They're hot selling and established games that will bring in revenue for Sony and I'm just comparing Halo 3 the same way. Personally I like the xbox but I play my ps2 a whole lot more.

I like the old worldmap rpg's. It gave the sense of explorations and more sidequests. I hated it when the FF series stopped. I am however re-discovering snes and unplayed ps1 rpg's though.

My favorite Ps1 RPG is wild arms. The graphics weren't great but the wild west feel and story were fantastic. Give it a shot Quall, I think you'll get a kick out of it.

OK, I take that fanboy comment back. I basically misunderstood something that you said, MrCaine. Personally, I dont believe that Microsoft have a killer app that can shift consoles. Show me some sales figures that show an increase in console sales when HALO 2 was released and I'll eat my hat. That means format exclusive, not something like FIFA or, erm, whatever other huge multiformat titles are out there. I've read on multiple games sites that it was mainly people who already owned an Xbox went ahead and purchased HALO 2.

SONY have some huge franchises, which will constantly be milked in order to keep the 'kwan' coming in. Titles like Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto (GT being SONY's biggest inhouse franchise and GTA being the biggest Franchise in gaming now), have proven that they can sell consoles. Just go back and see how the sales for PS2 consoles increased when GT3 came out, and then sales went up again when San Andreas came out. Show me one Xbox/Xbox 2 game that can/will do that?

Nintendo has the mascots, which have been massively abused since SONY entered the market (and hey, lets not forget we have Nintendo to thank for SONY even being in the market). In my opinion, Nintendo do.... blah blah blah. I cant even think of what to post for Nintendo at the moment.

Hey, thread got jacked several times before and after I posted here. Thought I would drop in another 2 cents to keep the meter running

[Quall999]

I lost hope in Nintendo. They have always been "trying new things", which is good, but I think they started sucking when they decided to do it to games instead of just hardware.

I think I will wait about 2 years before getting any new consoles. Then there would be a variety to choose from to see what games I like and how they play. If MS doesn't pop in some more rpg's in the xbox 2, i simply will not buy it. They DROPPED their 2 biggest rpgs THIS YEAR, which were looked forward to since the console came out. Like a month before the release date they said "sry, the game is canceled". Just thinking about it is pissing me off.

I have to say though, if sony makes a ff game with a world map and a bajillion side quests like the past, xbox 2 will probably not be an option.....then again, i will likely end up with both the xbox2 and ps3.
