The End of the Original Xbox

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-xbox-is-dead-long-live-the-xbox dept.

Via eToyChest, a sobering look at the not so distant end of the Xbox. The article at 'Dubious Quality' also discusses the current/next-gen boundary for Sony, Nintendo, and the PC. From the article: "While there are already 40 Xbox 360 titles earmarked for release in 2007, the original Xbox has exactly zero titles currently scheduled with the retail chain. What does this mean exactly? Not much on its own, as company's could have things planned that are simply not in the system yet, but it sure does not paint a very rosy picture for the gigantic console that gave us so many fond memories."

    But without the original Xbox, what will we laugh at for being "OMG XOBX HUEG?" "OMG PS3 HUEG" doesn't have the same ring to it.

    There are at least 573 [wikipedia.org] games already released for it. I doubt you have already played through all of them...

    Yes, of course. Those were all killer titles, every one of them.

    I haven't finished sifting through all the PS1 games yet. Every one a gem.

    When the end of life for a video game console is sobering you know your priorities are seriously messed up.

    Bashing sony is only on tuesday and thursday. Microsoft bashing is Monday and Wednesday. Friday is reserved for worshipping Steve jobs.
