Finally made a decision...

Bought an Xbox on the weekend...got Halo aswell, seemed like the game to have. And wow am i impressed! It's an awesome machine and Halo is an awesome game. Gonna buy World Cup Soccer (seen as im in the mood thanks to the current World Cup that happens to be going on ) this week sometime, that is out on Xbox right?

Now im just hoping like hell that they bring the 2K series to Xbox, not just NBA, but NFL and tennis too. Sega Sports make the best sport games by a mile.

Now im off to watch a couple of DVD's Two in one makes it very appealing....

You made a mistake there Jod im afraid. X-Box is now being outsold by both PS2 and Gamecube.

I wouldn't quite say "mistake" but I guess it's always going to depend on the types of games that interest you as to the machine you choose to get. I prefer to play sports games like Cricket 2002, Pro Evolution, etc etc. and the best sports games are on PS2 in my opinion.

Cheers!!

Xbox is still getting games released in Oz so people are still on the back foot, waiting for most of the games to get released. But XBOX will outsell Gamecube or PS2 in 1 years time

Who gives a rats ass which console outsells the others.
It means nothing.

Congrats, Jod. You know which console is my personal favourite, but the X-Box still had some very impressive titles at E3 and Halo is a fantastic game. Enjoy.

uh.. yes it does.

Congrats on your purchase jod, I'm sure you'll like it, just hopefully they can start to bring out a few more games more regularily
At the moment nothing really interests me for the Xbox at the moment, been getting more Gamecube games than Xbox games.
Plus I wouldn't worry bout there being no sports games available for either of these 2 systems as the next series of 2003 sports gmaes will be released over here. Hopefully that will include EA and Sega sports bringing out all their sports titles. I'd rather wait for those than buy the 2002 ones, mainly saying that cause I own them on PC anyway

Bucks,

I was referring to the ridiculous comment made by 'iluvwestcoast'.
How does purchasing an X-Box become a mistake, just because it's being outsold by the other two? It means nothing. The decision should just be made on which games you prefer.

I mean neither Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo are going to go out of business.

Besides, your anology is flawed.
The PS1 drastically outsold the N64, but the profits made by the two companies was pretty much the same.

It does make a difference in my opinion. If X-BOX can't get enough market share they will stop producing games and scrap the project altogether.

Microsoft is in for the long haul. Something would have to go drastically wrong for Microsoft to pull out now.

It won't happen.

Exactly! Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in the world...there not gonna pull out, they will just throw more money into it, god knows Bill Gates has enough of it.

Anyways i plan to get a PS2 aswell to cover all bases...the Gamecube still hasnt taken my fancy.
