Mircosoft talk about it like it was the greatest system, graphicly it was but it still got its but kicked by PS2>>> Umm so did VHS, beating out BETAMAX, which was superior. No one knows what the market will do. If you have enough $$$ you can make a turd sell for a few grand.
Microsoft flunks out of the console race.Their incompetence in hardware design is why this happened. Throwing a bunch of expensive pc parts together in a big ugly box that cost over twice as much to manufacture was the single stupidest thing to ever be tried in the console biz.Just to put in perspective what A COMPLETE AND TOTAL MARKETPLACE ASSRAPING Microsoft got from Sony:*) The Xbox cost over twice as much to manufacture as the PS2 and GameCube*) It came out a year and a half after the PS2 hit the market*) It had to be pulled from the market at least two years before the PS2 finally stops production*) The PS2 is going to go on to sell more units after the POS Xbox has been canned that the Xbox did in its lifetime - 100 million now and it is on track to finish in the 120 or so range over the next two to three years*) PS2 games are looking better than the brute force, newer, and more expensive Xbox's with games like Burnout Revenge, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War...The Xbox was a humiliating and complete marketplace failure.And the Dreamcast 360 is doing massively worse than the first Xbox.
Hey Buddy...I seem to remember when PS2 was released there seemed to be a shortage in supply... They seemed to create a false demand for the product... then the machines all stopped working and they had to be recalled... If you want to blame Microsoft for the shortage of Xbox 360's you have to look at sony first, because they are the one that started this shortage = demand... If you think things are going to be different with PS3 then you are just wrong.

I put Call of Duty aside and play Halo 2 on my 360. Is that wrong?
