Yet the other companies aren't losing money on every console sold.

All the other companies are losing some of that loyal fan base also.

And the fan base that Microsoft gets don't even play games.

Okay, I'll stop here. The Xbox is a great console, and the PS2 is also good as well. The only system I think we can all agree is crap is the Nokia N-Gage.

What is the N-Gage suppost to be. Super cell I love my Gamecube, dont get me wrong

Xbox by far is the best video game counsel. Even with PS2.5 being released it is still the best.

I've had Xbox since it's release and I have a whole lot of games, it is wonderful.

My favorite games have to be:
1) The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (now the GOTY version which comes w/Tribunal & Bloodmoon expansions)
2) Star Wars KOTOR
3) Ghost Recon: Island Assault
4) MechAssault
5) Unreal Championship

The PC versions of TES3 and KOTOR are better, yet I just love the controller capability.

Rock on Xboxers.

The "best" console is all a matter of opinion.

Yes, we all love "counseling" our consoles.

BTW, the PSX isn't a game console, you won't find it in the store next to the PS2, but you'll find it next to Sony DVD players.

Anyone have any advice on new XBOX games? I already beat Jedi Acadamy (excellent game) and I have Rainbow Six 3, which I cant wait to play live...I'm thinking of Tony Hawk Underground, but are there any other good titles I should consider?

If you dont have HALO, buy it. Theres nothing like the sheer joy of hooking up 2 or 3 X-box's and playing 4 on 4 capture the flag on 2 TV's. Also, Morrowind is good if you into RPG's, however the computer versian has more to offer. Tony Hawk is supposed to be awesome, my friend just got it though i havent played it yet. KOTOR is an excelent game aswell.

 

[General Porkins]

i already have halo (reason i got xbox), morrowind and kotor, all are great games

Everyone forgot about Splinter Cell. Amazing game and I think its only for xbox, at least it was when it came out.

It really takes advantage of the capabilities of the xbox unlike other games (XIII, JetSet Radio Future) which use cartoon like graphics, not that they are bad games but if you are going to buy an xbox because of its fast processor (among other things) you might as well get a game that will use the speed.

Splinter Cell is out for all three. It's funny when people assume most multi-platform games on the Xbox are exclusive.

Not that I'm blaming you, of course. Xbox is easily best of all versions. Gamecube follows closely behind, and PS2, as usual, tails up last. Everyone assossiates Splinter Cell with Xbox because unlike most other multi-platforms, Splinter Cell sold most on Xbox (usually PS2 sells most)

 

[subbss]

Quantum Redshift is also an excelent game, if you like racing games.

And when Splinter Cell first came out it was exclusive. It is out for all three now.

Anyone know of a list that has the XBOX exclusive titles on it? My cousin just got me one for my birthday and I'm looking something interesting to play. Already have Halo and Dead or Alive 3. Also which exclusives would you recommend, if its on the PC it's not exclusive.

Timesplitters 2. Imagine Halo on steroids: the storyline missions are better, there are better weapons, more fluid movement, and more importantly, bots (for massive arcade games)........ the one downside is that there aren't any machines (i.e. ghosts or four wheelers) to drive.

 

[Silverflame]

Timesplitters 2 is multi-platform and only $20. Hmm... maybe I should get myself a copy for GCN...

 

[wildWolverine]

multi-platform, yes. but nothing can compete with the xbox controllers......

edit: nice sig.
better:
1. Women = time * money
2. Time = Money
3. Therefore, women = money^2
4. Money is the root of all evil
5. Therefore, women = (sqrt(evil))^2 = evil!
