Prediction: The Xbox won't age well as a console.

[Richter Belmount]

Your perception is completely skewered if you think the Gamecube had more appealing games than the Xbox

You ever thought maybe I didn't like the games on Xbox , did that cross your mind so my perception is skewered cause (Shock) I have a different opinion!??

1.Appeal : I don't think you understand what I meant by the word appeal , Im using that word to say that the games that were on Gamecube and Playstation 2 were MUCH MORE INTERESTING than the games that were on Xbox. In my personal opinion the Japanese developers dominated last generation and pumped out the most and some of the best games. American and Western developers are reaching their peak this generation though last generation seems rather bleh and mundane to me.

2. Mainstream Games: I recall saying Ps2 no? Plus most of the games 1st appeared on Playstation 2 I didn't really need a port of Gta 3 a game that I already bought. Heck I could have a Ps2 and a Gamecube than I would still have a majority of the releases so no need for an Xbox.

3. Ports:The only actual exclusive on that list is Otogi since there are numerous ports of those games on different systems already, even Ninja Gaiden , Fable , Jade Empire , Kotr , Kotr 2 and Halo 2 . Doesn't make me want to go back to my Xbox considering I have other numerous and possibly better places to play some of those games. Though I have a certain affinity of the Snes version of Doom over the PC version. My point is the Xbox was good for ports but there are better ports than the ports on Xbox now in this day and age.

4. Graphics: yes the Xbox had processing power , doesn't mean much to me if its not aesthetically pleasing. I recall the mundane and dreary colored and washed out Splinter Cell. Graphics in a game should be consistent , appealing not dark and muddy or washed out. Something the Xbox couldn't pull off with a regular output yet when it comes to that Xbox is outdone by a Turbo Grafx's sharp color and detail.

5. Cult hits:As for cult hits I think once I step into 1 cult hit for Xbox , I could find 5 more on Playstation 2 for every cult hit that was on Xbox.

Boat was right about one thing: you are a big Nintendo fanboy that can't say anything unless it's in their defense. And since you can't predict the future, you have no idea what the average John and Jane teenager will be looking for game wise.

How are you going to call him out without seeming hypocritical?
