I think X-Box will end up like Dreamcast, really. It looked promising at first, but ended up scrapped even by the developers. Same happened to Sega Saturn.

XboX is teh suXx0r:

1. Because Microsoft is involved in it.
and
2. Because Bill Gates has one, and that means that i dont want it.

Oh and i suppose because your pc is running windows a MICROSOFT product, that must also mean your pc is "teh suxor". oOo:
Linux. No microsoft products ANYWHERE on that machine.

But i'm afraid to say that my other PC has windows on it because i have to play AA.............. and i cant really get it working on Linux. But i only use that computer to play AA and that is all. I havent even got office or that evil shit on there. So cram it.

**NOTE** I didn't read everyone's post...

PS2 owns XBox and at the moment it is rapping PC too. Sure the XBox can provide the player with some nice graphics but it doesn't have the games to back it up. Same thing goes with PC at moment. There hasn't been a huge hit on PC since Half-Life!!

don't think so, as long as there are PC games PC owns all. PCs are more upgradeable and have more utility than consoles will ever have.

Is the X-Box upgradeable? I mean, isn't it a PC in a box? It's sopposed to run a P3 500 Mhz processor, I think.

You can say that, but the price for a full upgrade is often more then the cost to buy three new systems! And you need to upgrade your PC about every 3 years so that is like the same as an entire generation of a console war! ... but don't get me wrong I love my PC, I just think the industry is more concerned with profit over giving people what they want. Now I'll admit the consoles have been seeing some of this recently but not at the same level as PC. I mean look at Spearhead!! That could have been like 5 updates over the coruse of six months; but EA made it an Ex. Pack and now they are doing it again! .... oOo:

well, EA is EA, then again they made their start with console, and my old Sega EA wargames suck balls (F-22 oh please) so maybe EA should just stick with sports games.

There are companies that make proper expansions and SUPPORT their games. Like the guys that made IL-2. get this, the patch actually had...OMG...new planes and a new campaign, all in a FREE patch!!!!

X-box won't end up like Dreamcast. Becaus eof the fact that x-box is actually selling. And that the company is the richest in the industry, I doubt they will leave the console war anytime soon, not after they have created that great thing. I know Microsoft will be in it for the long run, and not only that, when time comes they will come out with a new system, but they won't rush their shit like PS3.
