PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging?

gripdamage writes "This article on MSNBC says XBox's sales are slowing and are not expected to meet Microsoft's expectations. MSNBC previously reported that sales have been weak in Japan. The strongest and most interesting assertion in the article is that "In its regular global video game survey last week, Goldman Sachs said U.S. retailers showed a 'surprisingly clear' preference for Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 2 over the Xbox."" X-Box isn't dead yet - not by a long shot.

x box

I guess the x-box may soon be the ex-box.

X-Box 1.0 is naturally bad

[Khazunga]

As is the rule with all 1.0 Microsoft products. If Microsoft continues to push X-Box, by X-Box 4.0, it will be a decent product.

The problem with hardware is that it actually costs a lot of money to keep the development versions in the market. Let's wait and see.

Hey, no!
You are trying to imply that the naming scheme would be consistent aren't you? (not that I find 3.11, 95, 98, ME, XP inconsistent, but, still...)

3.11, 95, 98, ME, XP

Hmm, following the pattern.... that'd make their next product a double symbol, like $#... or
*GASP*
/.

Sure... it starts with a .NET ad on the frontpage, and ends with the selling of naming rights


This conspiracy theory brought to you by M, S, and the symbol $

If the X-box dies...

[smaughster]

does that mean that I can start to use *BSD on it?

MS not about to give up!

[Acoustic_Nowhere]

Don't worry. When Microsoft decides to bundle the XBox with Internet Explorer, they will do just fine!

A quick knee-jerk reaction...

[Dutchmaan]

Since when has an MS product doing badly ever stopped it from dominating the market for which it was aiming.

Gord! Acts of Gord!

[Konster]

The Gord speaketh about such, and I generally agree with his words.

Plus, his site is a classic.

Re:Gamecube?

[tycage]

My kids think Gamecube is the cat's ass.

Help me out with the lingo here.

Does this mean they like it, hate it, or just need a lesson in basic feline anatomy?

Re:economic climate....

[jlower]

I believe it mentioned something about people looking for a way to half-escape reality.

Why can't people do this the good old-fashioned way - with drugs and alcohol?

Re:Gamecube?

[d0n quix0te]

I assume cat's ass is slang for the dog's bollocks. You know-- the pups parts, the mutt's nuts and so on.

Hope this helps ;)

I understand that...

[recursiv]

my ex's box has been very popular recently.

Uh gta3 is a racing game like quake 3 is a running simulator. I think you were thinking of gt3 ;-)

Oh I feel your pain...

[clump]

My ex-girlfriend hooked up with more girls than I did after we split. Kinda cuts the self-esteem in half.

Lou Diamond Phillips, is that you?

Halo marathon.
