No, not really. Gamecube=last console out, but still not the most powerful.

This is supposed to be next gen. It's taking a step back. Microsoft could've at least invested in a hybrid dvd-rom drive that supported more disc space like the dreamcast did. Swapping discs is so last gen.

[QUOTE="RndmByCHoicE"]I really don't think that Xbox is "nextgen." hondacrx898

Seriously....the 360 is though

 

it is next-gen

its gpu is next-gen (unified shader technology, dx10 capabilities)

its cpu is next-gen

xbox live 360 is next gen

hd is next gen

It only has limited support for dx 10.

go out and buy an xbox 360.  It is next gen, it is here and its now.  It is cheaper and it is better.  So get a 360 yeaahhh.  But if you want to wait for a revolution then go ahead but dont buy a PS3. nrevoution

Nobody is going to want to wait until 2k7 for the weakest console.(Rev)

Just something that popped into my mind.

I mean if the DS is an indication of what's going to happen with the Rev, then there's a big chance of Sony's PS3 losing Japan to Nintendo's Rev, even though it has a BD drive( Japan being the biggest HD market).

Sony seems to have the west pretty much nailed down but in Japan gamers have another taste where the Rev's controller may seem more appealing. Now if Sony lose the Japanese market then Japanese devs will spend less recourses on PS3 titles and thereby remove Sony's edge over MS in the west.

I know that this is a worst case scenario, but do you think that this thought has scared Sony so much that it's looking into something that can counter the Rev in Japan?

If you look at the sales of the DS, then you would be able to come to the conclusion that the ps3 will totally destroy everything else everywhere. The DS sells so well because of it's fanbase from the Advanced/SP. It certainly wasn't because of launch games. If we look at that main FACT then we would come to the conclusion that the ps3 will sell more then the rev because of it's previous fanbase.

Your Forgeting the PS3's price!

The Ps2 was alot more expensive then the dreamcast when it was released. The dreamcast also had a 13 month lead on the ps2. It still didn't stop them from quickly outselling the dreamcast when it was released though.

The PS3 is going to spank the 360.

RockstarFury

rofl we'll see

I think we've already seen.

With only 1 AAA launch title (fewest in GS history) and fewer consoles sold at launch than its predecessor in both the U.S. and Japan, competing against the previous generation's 70% market share holder? 

Who do you really think you're fooling, lemming?

Only himself.

[QUOTE="GunmetalXIII"][QUOTE="VoodooHak"][QUOTE="VILE_VIVI"][QUOTE="JeffGenocideX"]XBL $50a yr > WoW $14.99 a month.JeffGenocideX


WoW is a better experiance than any game XBL enabled



But we're not talking about WoW versus any one game on XBL. In terms of cost, we're talking Wow vs ALL games on XBL, since by being an XBL subscriber, you can play online with all of them... for less than what you pay for Wow.... a single game.



ALL games on Xbox Live cost more combined than WoW and a year of monthly fees. This is a silly comparison...

wtf...

you pay $50 for the service of xbox live.. all xbox live enabled games can be played for free...

unless you think it's $50 for halo2, another $50 crimson skies, another $50 for ghost recon, etc, etc, etc..

silly...:lol:



First of all, I have Xbox Live... so stop trying to lecture me. :roll:

And the reason why this is so dumb is because you're comparing a service to a game. Buying Xbox Live doesn't give you instant access to the entire library. You have to buy the game before you can play it online. Hence, when comparing the cost of WoW to the cost of having the entire library of Xbox Live available, you also have to factor in game cost.

Make sense now?

paying for XBL is buying 1 of your games a year. Also you still have to pay for PC games. Online gaming for anything console or Personal Computer is NOT FREE.



Thanks for enlightening me. :roll:

Let me just say this: Playing online games on Xbox Live (this gen or next) will require you to pay in some way. Playing online games on PC doesn't require you to pay for anything except the game itself.

When comparing cost of online play, PC gamers win. It's just a fact.

I think he's including the price of internet service. Hence the reason why he keeps insisting that all gaming online requires some sort of fee.



What's the point then? We're talking about online gaming, it's assumed you have the means to go online. And it still ends up costing more on Xbox Live.

how so?

Internet servicefor a year=$420 based on 35 per month

most pcgaming=free

total=$420

Internet service=$420

xbox live=50 a year

Total= $470

not gonna add the games that you have to pay monthing for on there?

Why? Xbox live has a mandatory fee. PC gaming does not. If you don't want to play WoW or EQ2 because of the fee, you don't have to. Such is not the case with an xbox. If you want to play online, you have to pay the fee....Sure you can say that you play the game for 2 months using the free trail then cancel, making it free.....but the same can be said about mmorpgs. Just play for the grace period and cancel......

to play on XBL is the cost of 1 game. wow, not a big deal.

Um, how did I get into this convo anyway? lol Well, I know it's not a big deal....but the fact still remains that online gaming on an xbox costs more then pc.
