Err would you rather Sony and Microsoft sell @ a profit? Who cares how much the system costs to make as long as its reasonably priced for the consumer
I agree, they may lose money on the console sales, but they will make a bigger profit on game sales and accseories.{(-_-)} said:Err would you rather Sony and Microsoft sell @ a profit? Who cares how much the system costs to make as long as its reasonably priced for the consumer

But anyways, Auron I see what your getting at, and you put it well. I didn't think about how all that stuff is pretty much new. But it's hard to believe that that the Xbox 260 is costs $525.

Playstations reputaion and previous sales, best selling console of all time.
Sonic said:Console:
XBox360
Buying?
No
Reason:
1. Price will be rediculous.
2. Not enough games to make it worth buying.
3. Can't play original XBox games (Makes it more ****)
4. Also can't use original XBox Controllers
5. Only can hold 2 Controllers, not 4
These reasons make the original XBox 100% useless and a waste of money, eventually im sure they will make games similiar to the original XBox games but in XBox 360 version.
E.g Halo 3 in XBox 360, better version of Halo 2 on 1st XBox, which if u have a 360, makes Halo2 unwanted and a waste of money.
Console:
PlayStation 3
Buying?
Maybe
Reason:
1. Price won't be as high as XBox 360
2. Always liked PlayStations
3. They can play original PS and PS2 games?? (Not sure)
Revolution i never really looked at so no comment :P
NewBlood said:PS3 is fully backwards compatible with ps1 and ps2 games
xbox 360 has been confirmed to nto be backwards compatible, in fact it will run an xbox emulator that works on VERY FEW original games mainly the most populer games so most likely halo series etc.
Dont argue at me etc etc about that it was confirmed on a number of gaming sites.

Biohazard said:It costs $18 dollars to physical make my $500 video card. I highly doubt it costs $525 dollars to make a Xbox 360.

Crash reports dog Xbox 360 launch
Some owners reported crashes during game play
Some Xbox 360 owners are starting to report problems with their brand new next generation gaming console.
Messages posted to gaming forums and discussion groups mention that consoles have crashed during play thanks to several different errors.
The crashes were reported as happening with a variety of games including Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing and Need for Speed.
Microsoft acknowledged the reports but said incidents were "isolated".
Crash tests
New owners of the console posted complaints about crashes to the Engadget, Xbox Scene, Team Xbox and Microsoft's official Xbox 360 forums.
The messages posted reported that some of the consoles stopped working after a short bout of playing or crashed during a game and flashed up an error number. Some users posted video and photographs of the crash screens.
The reports suggest that the Xbox 360s are falling victim to a variety of errors rather than the crashes being caused by the same glitch. The scattered reports make it hard to gauge how widespread the problems are.
Microsoft spokeswoman Molly O'Donnell would not detail how many reports the company had received but did say the calls involved a "very, very small fraction" of all the consoles sold. The volume of calls was in line with Microsoft predictions, she said.
"With any launch of this magnitude, you're bound to see something happening," she said.
She urged users with problems to call the Xbox help line and if that did not fix the console, Microsoft would repair or replace the unit.
The Xbox 360 console only went on sale in the US on 22 November to much fanfare and the full price version of the gadget costs $399.99. It goes on sale in Europe on 2 December.
