When a machine is a "technological marvel" as Luxo said. Well I have to believe it will be a success. This machine of extreme high level technolgy will enable the talented artists and programmers less of a bottleneck in there creations, in every facet the creators of games will be able to give gamers more. From A.I. to Physics, more scripts for NPC'S, lighting, shadows,overall gameplay enchancement due to all the extra power available. Draw distance and expansive environments will keep the players into games as if they are really there. HI rez screens with better fill rate and texture purity along with 5.1 Dolby surround sound will give that sound the bang we all want, along with the musical scores crisp and clean. High level polys also will round off everything, from Characters/creatures to landscapes and structures. All this is possible due to the power. Technological advances are vital, and this machine does have the backing of a giant in the world of Buisness, like it or not, it is a fact.
There will be about 2 million XBOX's worldwide give or take 200.000 by April 2002. About 800 thousand to 1 million in the USA and another 5 to 600 thousand in Europe and in Japan. Japan is expecting 300 thousand at Launch on 2-22 2002. Another 200K the next 2 months. Europe expects 500K at launch and another 100K it's first month after launch. Now these numbers are not just off the top of my head, they are numbers from marketing researh teams. Look at what the BOX has already done, it is unavailable as soon as it comes up at any retailer.It seels out. And just wait till the common people get a glimpse, the casual gamer,this Holiday season and beyond will just jump in sales.And as the games get better and with time more people jump aboard the totals will grow and grow. It's a great machine with tons of talent backing it. How can anyone even remotely intelligent deny this machine success.
I back Sony, Nintendo, I own all there machines and will continue to do so. I like them, fun consoles, I like options,they give me more. But the XBOX is my choice for reasons that can not be discussed here,unless I keep typing for another 2 days. I have seen the future of XBOX games in detail from many companies, I know just how many really top notch games are in the works, far beyond what we have seen thus far and even what we will see this Fall. It's just a matter of time for all to see what I have already witnessed. By Christmas 2002 4 million Xbox's will be in homes around the world. And from there it will just grow and grow. Don't believe me fine, it's your right, but when it happens maybe you will take the word of someone a bit easier next time.
This is taking too much of my time,got to go. A couple other things before I do, I defend the system because I believe in it, and it stuns me to see some people that actually think it will or might fail, and they have not actually seen anything concrete of it or for that matter have no real experience in the making of games.
Anyway it's time for America to have a system of there own, enough with just the Japanese monopoly. People tht really want the best games should be welcoming the new XBOX, it will give better overall experiences and fun due to it's extra power, bottomline, it has already shown me, and soon it will show the naysayers as well.So lets let the XBOX do my talking from now on. I tried to help the blind, your on your own now. I'll give you one example already of the XBOX advantage: November 15th I'll be playing Munch and a ton of other great Launch titles and in the weeks and months to follow, without an XBOX my day just would not be as fun.
And Luxo, getting back in your bomb shelter is just what the terrorists want, to take your freedom. I prefer the Beach.
Opinions are fine, however when someone tells me the Earth is flat or the XBOX will fail I must step in and get things straight. Anyways this is all becoming a big waste of my time. As they say in Pro Sports and it works here as well, when it ain't fun anymore get out.
