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

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

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.

I know exactly what you mean. I have beta tested a lot of real cool games for M$ that I couldn't wait to get when they came out and never saw them again.

I never thought that the xbox's stable of games were actually any good to begin with and I was incredibly unimpressed with the launch. We had like 30 xboxes the day it launched and they just sat there collecting dust. After week one we still had a first shipment (we still had 23 left and seven out of 30 in the first week is terrible sales) Xbox actually didn;t pick up until it came out that you could mod it and then we seemed to be selling a shipment around every two weeks or so. Compare that to the PS2 which we ran through six shipments in a week and a half ON it second year of release in the same time span and I knew who had won the console war. I think that MS relasing the xbox 2 next year in the end of 2205 isn't a good idea either. Sony sure ins't gonna panic like MS thinks they will for the simple fact that they have the delveopers of some of the most beloved and hot selling franchises in their poicket...and I know all xbox fans will say that they get GTA games as well but it usually over six months later with NO improvements or additions so is it really worth it for us that have already played it?

You also have to keep in mind that Xbox's were somethin like $350 too.

The xbox was 300 dollars when it launched and so was the Ps2 which was outselling it like 30 to one at that time. The new xbox has to come up with higher calibur games from 3rd party developers like a rpg of a final fantasy calibur to oust Sony. As long as Sony corners the RPG market and platformer market it's gonna have a large amount of control. Son'y not gonna panic over the xbox 2 for the simple fact that Sony has control of a large part of the main genres that gamers enjoy. Sudeki and Fable are no match for Xenosaga and Final Fantasy and the only real markets xbox has sony pinned down in is sports and FPS. They need more or it doesn't matter when the release xbox 2, Sony is gonna step up and claim the market.

I'll only get xbox 2 if I can do all the fun stuff I do now with my xbox. I wanna mod it and make sure my games are as far out of the hands of my brother as I can get them. He already turned my MGS 3 disc into a clear drink coster and I'm steamed about it. At least with the xbox games I can back them up and let him destroy the back-up discs. Well I'm off to Gamestop.......
