1. Comment - Revolution to Sell for Less Than $300

   (Jan 20, 2006 - 6:50 PM)

   Now what some of us in this conversation fail to realize is that Microsoft is taking steps to make more involving games? Not all of them are innovative (we can’t all be like Nintendo), but many of them will be of great quality. They have recruited and creating developers like BioWare, Mistwalker, MS Game Studios, Bethesda Softworks, and Silicon Knights. I don’t expect them to stop producing the canned games that sell, but at least they are trying to bring more than what they brought on the first console, besides the online experience that Sony failed to bring to all of its games (Don’t include FF).

   *Clears throat and takes really deep breath* First, I do agree that with the first Xbox Microsoft was bring something new and innovative to the industry, and they are improving on that idea like only they can. The thing I don't agree with it the comment on poor design.
   Second, ("focusing on a single-minded gaming device") can be innovative; if in focusing you design new concepts in game design that other companies are too busy worrying about other complications to think of. Take what Nintendo is doing with the DS for instance. They are using new devices to bring an unfamiliar-yet thrilling concept to handheld games.
   Lastly, just because they did come up with the hub, that doesn't mean that the 360 isn't doing anything that they couldn't do with the original Xbox. Really the only thing that they gained was graphics, and not too much of that. Before there during the 2-D era when Sony introduced the Playstation it was a dramatic change, a change in Dimension of play. This allowed Sony to get away with making a product that could have been at least 2 times better. Now years later, Microsoft wants to do what Sony did and release a newer system when the first hasn't even run its full life. Playstation it was a dramatic change, a change in Dimension of play.

   ((Unnatuural)), pick up your remote. Tell me how unnatural that feels. Or better yet, think about how Sony adopted the analog after Nintendo used it on the 64, and how now it is as standard as at least two shoulder buttons. Then you can say it is unnatural. Innovative, yes, ambitious, yes, good for a industry that is getting complacent, yes, but certainly the evolution of the gaming controller is anything but unnatural, especially when it comes from a company that has already contributed so much in that area, not to mention in the history of gaming. Come on.

   True, but I don't think Nintendo is going to repeat the past mistakes that they made with the revolution.

   Has the 360 even matched the graphical capabilities of a custom-built computer? I don't think so.
