I'm not too fond of the Xbox. it (was) overpriced and few games on the market at this moment here. I may buy a Gamecube though, but more out of nostaligia (since I've owned every nintendo system ever). Can't wait to play new Mario games

Those are strongly misleading figures, since it's the Gamecube's launch.
Halo's been out for months, and it's still on the top 10. Third for console sales (notice it beats out PS2?)"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Note that Sony is already working on a PS3. In 3.5-4 years I'll buy that instead of an X-box

Sony looks to be screwing up with the PS3 again. They're doing more massively parallel hardware which gives huge theoretical specs, but are a PAIN IN THE ASS to code for (see: Saturn, PS2). Developers hate it, and it's always full of bottlenecks anyway.
MS and Nintendo keep making stronger, more straight-forward hardware. Developers love that much, much more.

It took Sony 4 years to develop the PS2 with Toshiba.Originally posted by Saint Marcus

It took Microsoft 1.5 years to develop the Xbox.
Which is a better console?
MS has been working on Xbox^2, regardless.
There have been quite a few stories on The Register about it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

only the PS2 PSone and PC version are in that chart. the xbox version doesn't sell that well it seems.That doesn't count, because it's also on the Xbox (I own it)
And Halo is the ONLY Xbox game in the charts

Gee, I wonder if more people own PS2, PSOnes, and PCs than Xboxes, which would certainly explain that?Originally posted by Saint Marcus

Nintendo's launch bumped the rest off. Wait a few weeks for the figures to normalize again.And Halo is the ONLY Xbox game in the charts

- The costs of components drops significantly faster than Sony's proprietary Emotion Engine
- Developers are already familiar with most of the architecture
- It's incentive for publishers because they can easily port the game to the PC after
- The hardware is already proven
The result? An easier to program for, better looking, cheaper to produce (over time) console."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
