Calum...Im an Australian....I didnt insult my country. I just made a point that Australia means nothing in the console market...its the truth.

well whatever. i will only say it is misleading (or was, as i notice it has conveniently changed) that you put tokyo as your location in your profile.

What the hell? I never heard about any of this. I'm not really a dedicated gamer, but i have my sources, and no where did i hear that x-box was dead or even losing support. This shows how much mind control m$ has over us, even me. The last news i heard about x-box was that rare software had left nintendo to work for m$.

And anyway, microsoft will find a way to bypass this, even if it means drowning puppies or something. Anyone hear about its new game clones of diablo and age of empires? i smell monopolization.

Sadly, XBOX is NOT dead. Sega has Panzer Dragoon Orta in the pipeline, splinter cell is coming out soon, halo2 isnt too far away, konami has signed on as a developer and has already made silent hill 2, plus metal gear solid 2: substance is almost complete, featuring a bunch of new missions as well as VR training.

last but not least, we have rare. yes, rare is now a M$-exclusive developer. banjo-kazooie, conker, and yes PERFECT DARK are all in development for the xbox. don't expect it to die anytime soon - gamers get the systems that have the games they want. Kids will see perfect dark and banjo-kazooie and say "hey mommy we need to get an XBOX."

Ya, but all of that 3rd party support is comming out now. Most of those titles are for the other systems as well. MGS2 already came out for PS2 ages ago.

Nah, I don't think this boost (no doubt due to heavy M$ handouts) will help X-box sales to much.

yes, mgs2 came out a long time ago for ps2. yes, i played it through and enjoyed it, but i wondered where the vr missions were. looks like they saved them for the xbox. this discourages me, the reason that i bought a ps2 was FOR mgs2.

rare is now microsoft exclusive, and the fact that one of the best games ever (panzer dragoon by sega) is being added to the mix makes me believe that most hardcore action gamers will see the xbox as the only way to go. this is how it looks to me:

ps2 - RPGs and GTA
xbox - FPSs (first person shooters) (halo, halo2, perfect dark, etc)
gamecube - a little bit of everrything

now perfect dark is my biggest concern. it seems like everyone who had n64 (and thats a LOT of ppl) thinks perfect dark is the *BEST GAME EVER.* they thought that about goldeneye, then when goldeneye's sequel (Perfect dark) came out, they abandoned goldeneye for the new game. when they hear that perfect dark 2 is coming out, they will do *ANYTHING* to play it. anything includes buyin an xbox. as an added bonus, they will then be able to play halo.

note that i am a hardcore gamer, i prefer ps2 and i never really went nuts over goldeneye or perfect dark.

It looks like it might pull out of the Australian market as well by account of this peice of info: http://news.com.com/2100-1040-962797.html?tag=fd_top_3

They are such fucking cry babies.

voidmain · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 October 2002, 02:56 »

Now, if we could just get them to pull out of the U.S. we'll be all set!

Come on Calum, dont you remember me? I use to come here a while back. I was the one who brought up the topic about how Micro$soft are getting to people early and how all schools now use Windows.

When I edited my message I didnt edit where I come from....and anyway it was edited on the 16th of October which was before you posted your message (october 19th).
If you dont believe me, ask me some things about Australia that only an Australian would know.

Anyway man, no hard feelings.

Ballmer is so full of shit. A very small percentage of people install mod chips, 1) because it requires technical know how, 2) because you can waste the system if you screw up the soldering and 3) because you void the warranty. Hence, MS is NOT going to withdraw the XBOX from Australia because even if the mod chips are legal, very few of it's customers will actually use them.

This is more MS scare tactics.
