Is X-box really dead?
chrispy87:
the xbox cant die because M$ will just keep pouring money into it to keep it alive
Doctor V:
I think its dead. Already being called one of M$'s biggest blunders. It will never catch on in Japan, never. The only US games that will ever make it in Nippon are from Blizzard.

While I'm only talking statistics in Australia, Gamecube holds the lowest market share in the console area and with PS2 at the top and XBOX in the middle, it is fairly unlikely.

Where did you get that information from? Im from Australia and Iam certain that is not the case.
Even if it was in the middle of the market share in 'Australia', who gives a shit. Australia is one of the smallest markets in the world when it comes to games.
The XGrit (puke) is going down the shitter.

Microsoft X-Box the console with a thousand uses!
They're great as hockey pucks for people with bad eyesight. Much larger target to focus on.
You can use it as a base for GI Joe figurines and blow it up with that stick of dynamite you stole from grandpa when he was going to bomb that old stump in the back yard.
They make great starter logs for warm winter fires.
Use it as a handy retractible cupholder.
Use it as a stopblock for your boat or other light trailer.
Hang it in the living room as a stylish wall decoration.
Install a mod chip and Linux and you have an affordable server appliance!
Remove the "Fritz" chip and mail it to Senator Hollings along with a nasty letter typed on your Linux-powered X-box telling him that he's not welcome in the United States anymore.
Use your Linux-powered X-box to do some l337 h4x0ring and hit riaa.com with a DoS attack.
Develop software that violates the DMCA and distribute it on your X-box.
Do drive-by X-box throwings at Hollywood execs.
Wow! I'll bet you never know how great the Microsoft X-box can make your world!
Steal one today and make Bill Gates angry!

Difference between a PC and Console gamer? There is no difference, the vast majority of PC only or Console only gamers could pick up each other's system and like alot of games on it.
Some people are cat people, some people are dog people, some people are PC people, some people are console people. Sadly, the whole MS domination of the PC makes it a sour deal(upgrade cycle, shitty OS etc.) What helps even out the PC as a great platform is the ease with which you can pirate games, and some other things about it. It's alot more hassle to pirate console games.
