Bungie has a staggering 2 games available for the Xbox. If I were them, I'd put their money where their mouth is.
Halcyon does it again. Superb market analysis, superb vision of the future of console gaming.
You cannot predict what is going to happen in the next generation of gaming. Can't be done folks, remember that. If I were on the Xbox hardware development teams or working at SCE, I'd pack up shop.
"They should put their money where their mouth is if they expect anyone to believe them."
What exactly do you call losing money on every Xbox console we sell, devoting more R&D resources to the console than any other part of MS Game Studios, hiring 3000 people in the next year alone to work on the console and related games from the studio, ah... I'll stop there.
We're not putting our money where our mouth is. That's what it is!
Damn.
When Bill Gates said: "We are not leaving this market. No ifs ands or buts, we're in console gaming to stay", he must've been kidding. All this money we've spent certainly isn't backing up our mouth.
Having the world's most successful online gaming service, the world's most powerful game console (and the next generation will make it look like a garbage can), many of the best selling game franshises of all time signed on to the box, some of the best selling games of all time ONLY on the Xbox... yup... we just can't seem to back up our rhetoric.
We're not putting our money where our mouth is, I gotta get to a meeting so I can make sure everyone understands that here. What we're doing is all worthless and is a total failure. Halcyon said so! Must be true. Microsoft sucks.
Damn I work in a really worthless corporation.
Now... to ensure that you don't come back with some crud like "My statement in Post #3 was referring to Tecmo"... Go add up what they've spent on developing their Xbox exclusive titles and the featuresets of all their games that only appear on the Xbox. What does it matter how many games they've made for it? They've made best selling games and have spent more money than they would have developing tons more titles individually. The cost of developing Halo and Halo 2 alone are staggering. Massive amounts of money spent on those games... I guess Bungie is crap too! They've only made two games! No one should believe that they can do it!
