Xbox 360 Launch: Success or Mess?

[Paco]

It was definitely over the top and sometimes disgusting, but that was the whole point, and censoring it isn't right...

Sometimes it's better to just leave some things out. Ever watch a really disgusting movie and thought you would have been just fine without having seen a particular part? Conker didn't suffer, it was still plenty explicit.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies sold so badly that even Rare admits it'll never have a sequel... and Conker for Xbox didn't exactly burn up the charts either. As for the X360 games, it's probably too early to tell, but Kameo is selling okay but not great and PDZ is selling alright but getting criticized by the Halo fans for not being Halo...

Let the Halo fans have their Halo. Let the PDZ fans have their PDZ. Why can't one console have both?

It requires both failures from the market leader and effort from the competitors, though. I'm not sure if both of those factors will come together in the right way to upset Sony... it's possible, but Sony's done well its first two generations... we'll know better once we hear more about the PS3 and Revolution (since both Sony and Nintendo are being fairly secretive).

Nintendo did pretty well it's first two generations, too.

It makes no sense to say "LttP is a console game here and a handheld game here and the two games have absolutely nothing in common and are in completely different markets" when they are the same exact game...

As for the obvious question that raises 'well then what about PC gaming'... good question. That's the obvious other platform category... pc, handheld, and the tv consoles. It's just a smaller one than the others, and one more focused on specific kinds of games...

You're not going to gain any ground with me on this arguement. You might as well save it.
