Its not about Bill, its about Microsoft.stark wrote: personally i dont care if bill gates is rich. so is the boss of sony/nintendo. dont demonise him just because he is a devil and dont discount xbox just because his company made it.
The ONLY reason microsoft has succeed one little bit in the games industary is because of marketing, the same goes for Sony.
Did either of the machines have anything amazing, or new feature? Did they have one bit or great R&D that would effect games for years to come?
Nope, neither. The Xbox at least has a HD, but thats hardly a new development.
I strongly believe that it is dangerious for microsofts domiance to spread any further, if they win the console market where will it stop?
Seriously, where?
Monopolys sure as hell dont help innovation.
Im 100% against the Xbox for Moral reasons, theres no techical or artistic reason why I think its worse, I dont even mind the controll pad, and theres some really great games on it. Im not disconting the machine, just the company.
I just think its dangerious, and people are too blind to see it.

oh, and as far as "evil" goes, I think that applys more to Sony.
Did you know they recently tried to copywrite lots of stuff to do with the recent war, so they could make games based on it?
("Shock and Awe" ect)
Luckly, there was quickly a lot of complaints so they let it drop (and another smaller company picked up the rights...some companys really make me sick)

(and no, im not a nintendo Fanboy, they make great games and machines, but so did Sega...im just a nintendo supporter by defult at the moment.. ....)
