All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Hardware

I'm sorry to say this, but

Well the X-Crocks needs that extra power to turn that crank on Win2k and to gather all of your personal info and gaming/tv habits for teleporting back to Microsoft.

OHH my lord!!!
Who is this guy??
As I have said before and Ill say it again, the XBox controller resembles a dinner plate with two fat sausages as handles, it is pathetic!

The GameCube absolutely shits all over that oversized black briefcase with the green X on it.

What is the go with all these Microsoft supporters hanging around anyway, fuck off to your inferior Operating systems!

i know it does not run any version of winblows
1) It boots way too fast
2) It has all sorts of copy protection for the software and it does not say once anything about Winblows.
3) It never crashes.

The only bad thing about it so far is the processor (Intel Sucks - They are so slow). Microsoft probably could have made a profit if they put an Athlon 1GHz. And it would be faster too

If MS would've used an Athlon processor I'm sure that there would've been alot of customer complaints about how the X-Box runs too hot. People don't buy consoles to use as a space heater you know.  ;)

Bateluer:
I'd just like to state, without reading this entire thread, that hardly anything in the Xbox is made in America. MS bought the parts from other companies. The CPU is a Mobile Celeron from Intel, which could be made in any number of countries, the 5x Toshiba DVD is made in Japan, the 64megs of SHARED DDR is made in Japan or Taiwan, the Castrated GF3 is made in Taiwan.

And its controllers are too big, they give my hand muscle cramps. The rumblers are cheap junk, notice how you can hear them in the next room? Think you can hear the PS2's rumblers? Nope, heck, my bro was sitting right next to me when I was playing FFX and he could not hear the rumblers.

TB:
The fact that M$ are losing at least US$75 per console sold makes me laugh at it. But that's what you get when you buy practically all the parts from 3rd party companies. You'd think with M$'s thirst for money they would've done what Sony did with PS and PS2 - build the console completely in-house from the ground up.

The fact is nobody is going to topple Sony from it's high perch in the console market. Just by taking a look at sales figures proves this. In December '01 PS2 sales in USA and Japan DOUBLED compared to the same time the previous year.  And this at a time where XBox and Gamecube were supposedly going to pose a threat to PS2 (i correct myself........Gamecube was NEVER a threat).

It's simply a case of too little too late for M$ and Nintendo. Although it was rather stupid to think that M$ and Nintendo could compete with Sony by releasing consoles inferior to the PS2 more than a year after PS2's release.
