2004 Good Year for Xbox
Voodoo Extreme has details from a Microsoft release about Xbox accomplishments in 2004. From the article: "Xbox Live online gaming service has set a new standard for online gaming with more than 1.4 million members around the world."
Yes! Never before have you been able to hear teenagers get yelled at by their parents, and foul-mouthed 10 year-olds exclaim that you're a "fucking gay homo faggot" before they drop out of the middle of the game!
Now, you too can wonder in amazement how no one is playing the game you want online, because it's 6 months old and they're all playing the latest and greatest!
Truly, Xbox Live has elevated PC gaming to new heights.
Wow, the picture you paint is pretty bleak, especially for the 8 people who bought an xbox just to play networked dancing games.
