    Default Xavix, Biggest gaming console failure?

    I think so, besides making it really hard for developers to make games for it (u need to make a game, and a controller), and the short range of genres to choose from, i think that this is dead as anything...

    not to mention its been out for a while, and has had no releases since launch... 2 or 3 games total, ouch :/

    here's the thing xaviex isn't exactly looking for 3rd party I see it as more of a tv game type deal...so to call it a failure would be like saying those tv controller machines are failures cause they have no additional software

    Not really, because people bought those TV plug and play games.

    Yeah, I played one (at best buy) and it SUCKED. So... yeah

    well, uh, the graphics suck(from what i saw on the commercial) and the choice of games is small AND bad. i mean come on, bowling? tennis? you can just go out and do the real thing for cheaper. blowing up people and zombies? no way. 500 foot drops on a snowboard? nope. why oh why not a lightgun and some shooter games, or like virtual snowboarding or skating? that would be cool. but bowling? give me a break.

    P.S. no offense to bowling and tennis fans.

    although the bowling ball controller looks pretty cool...
