Well, maybe not.
"- Famitsu reported that Microsoft sold 62,135 units of Xbox 360 in Japan during the first two days of launch between December 10 and 11. Microsoft shipped a total of 159,000 units of Xbox 360 at launch, 39% were sold through."
39%??? 62 thousand units??? In two days!!! Is that not the worst launch in console history? I think the Virtual Boy outdid that. |

yeah I posted this in the "getting an xbox 360" thread. It's pretty sad for the machine they were going to use to "break into Japan." |

Yeah, I think M$ is going to have to cut their losses and pull out of the console wars. Obviously they haven't come to realize that, unlike computers, in order for a system to be successful, you have to have a wide variety of enjoyable games. Since the first X-Box has like, 4 games that are good, one can't expect too much from it's successor.

Maybe, when not counting games that were released on multiple consoles. It is very possible, in that situation, that the Xbox had less than four. X)! |

The Virtual Boy was released on 21 July 1995 in Japan and on 14 August 1995 in the USA. Mario's Tennis/Red Alarm/Galactic Pinball/Teleroboxer cartridges were available at launch....
...Virtual Boy [did] not make it's sales expectations of 1,5 million units by the end of 1995 (there were 770.000 units sold in total, only 140.000 units of which in Japan // although positive info states 700.000 units sold in the USA and 150.000 units sold in Japan, the latter I cannot confirm as Nintendo won't comment) and so Nintendo stopped production at the end of 1996 & declared the VB "dead"

Ummm....
That's... all I can think of. |
I actually REALLY hated the Kotor series...It annoyed me to no end how they attributed Evil with the dark side and good with the light...Instead of Offence and Defence like it truly is. On top of that it was almost impossible to be evil...I stole hundreds of thousands of dollars and nothing happens...I save one old man and BOOM I'm the goodest of the good.
Also, you didn't like Ninja Gaiden.
I own only one game for the X-box that only came on it or the PC and that was "Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay"
It is easily in my top 20 video games up until I got to where I am...Now it's a dust collector...Damn hardness curve. |

I know it's trendy to hate on Microsoft here (lol @ the M$), but damn.. there were more than 4 enjoyable games on the Xbox in many people's opinion.
And Shino, you didn't even bring up Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta or Otogi/Otogi 2. :sadpanda |
