On Xbox's Progression, Positioning For The Future

Posted by simoniker on Monday February 16, 2004 @04:23AM from the power-of-x dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for its article charting the progression of the Xbox from its launch to the present day, with the author's introduction suggesting: "For Microsoft, the video-game industry has been a whiplash rollercoaster ride with lucrative peaks, costly valleys, and a changing list of passengers going along for the ride." After charting a timeline for Xbox's history so far, he concludes: "Xbox has not lived up to all of the predictions, but Microsoft has more than made its point. After two years and two months on the market, the numbers speak for themselves." Has the Xbox been all you expected and wanted it to be?

There's also been loads of games that I've preferred playing on Xbox rather than PC (like KotOR and GTA3/VC), due to having a good controller.

Hahahahahahahaha.

It took $1500 for you to realize that your not satisfied with MS's efforts? Must seem a bit silly in retrospect, no?

the XBox's form factor still amazes me. How did they expand that little power into such a large box?
