Microsoft taking Xbox into arcades | |
|
||
| Time: 05:50 EST/10:50 GMT | News Source: Silicon Valley | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Hoping to open another avenue for its video games and broaden its front in the war against Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft is expected to take its Xbox game console into arcades later this year. The project, code-named Chihiro after the heroine of the Japanese anime film ``Spirited Away,'' has been in the works for a couple of years. Microsoft and Sega announced in fall 2001 that they would jointly create arcade machines based on the Xbox technology. But the partners have been quiet since that time. | ||

Considering that the Xbox has about 5 good games. I know because I have an Xbox and play as often as SodaJerk makes an illogical statement (very frequent).
The sports genre already exist in the arcade so MS will not be impressing anyone by going that route. I wouldn't mind seeing a Halo arcade game but as the article said, console and PCs is where the money is. |

Cute, Red, do you mean I'm more illogical than this bullsh!t:
"Yes, the Register does suck but in this case they are just reporting the facts from Apple. So it's Apple that sucks." Let's count the "FACTS": 1. "Apple lawyers clearly belong to the reptilian genus, for winter finds them at their most productive." WRONG. Getting approved in Winter means the USPTO has been busy--these Patents were submitted between Fall of 2001 up to February 2003. 2. "They certainly haven't been idle in recent weeks." WRONG. Apple lawyers haven't done "anything" (related to this) beyond the norm in recent weeks--a guy at Mac Observer was busy searching for all recently approved patents recently. 3. "a blizzard of patent activity since the new year that must be quite unprecedented in Apple's history." WRONG. Apple has similar design patents for the original Classic Trashcan, window widgets and other look-and-feel elements. This is standard fare for Apple. 4. "The desktop Trash Can, window buttons, dialog boxes and a task scheduler have all been claimed as Apple Intellectual Property in a snowstorm of greedy patent filings." WRONG. Snowstorm? There are many patents here that have been filed over a period of over a year and a half. A year and a half snowstorm? 4. "The computer pioneer has decided, posthumously, to lay claim to lots of stuff that it err, … invented twenty years ago." WRONG. Design patents do not address the invention of a utility. They address appearances, look-and-feel. The OS X Trashcan has existed for a little over two years. 5. "They name the incumbent CEO as "inventor" on items such as the iPod. (Yes, the hard-disk based MP3 player is now an Apple invention, so don't you dare make one.): WRONG. Design patents, people! Does anyone doubt that Steve had final say about each and every design detail no matter how small (whether it be the mirror-backing, the lack of a clip, etc...)? They have a design patent on the iPod, not a utility patent on portable music players. Yet your logic causes you to post: "Yes, the Register does suck but in this case they are just reporting the facts from Apple. So it's Apple that sucks." All of a sudden the Reg is the model of fact checking, journalistic integrity. Hmm, could that be why you abandoned your silly comments under that story and moved to here to insult me? I wonder. |

kak dela Soda? I love it when you get in this mood.
By no means I am saying that the Reg is the model of fact checking. And I didn't abandon my silly comments just to insult you. I would do that in any case. I thought that that thread had run it's course and didn't need to contribute any more. As for you being illogical, sometimes your passionate dislike for MS clouds your judgement. Spasibo Jerky |

You're welcome.
"I thought that that thread had run it's course and didn't need to contribute any more." Yeah, because I ended the idiocy. There's not much to say after you've been disproven and pointed out as a hypocrite. "As for you being illogical, sometimes your passionate dislike for MS clouds your judgement." And sometimes, your passionate softie love goes beyond @sskissing and lands you in never-neverland. Plain and simple. You have no problem being a hypocrite or making a complete ridiculous claim just to support MS or to be antagonistic toward a "competitor" of MS's. |

Privet Soda, I actually consider myself to be a fair person when it comes to technology. I just happen to like a lot of MS stuff. Just recently I have posted several negatives notes regarding the lack of UI advancement in Windows. For the most part it is still Win95 looking. More often than not I find you on the opposite side of MS. And sometimes you are dead wrong, case in point the Opera fiasco.
*by the way Activewin can you find a way to include a spell checker for those of use that can't spell well* |

| By the way Jerky, do you have anything to contribute regarding the topic? |
| #7 By 3339 (65.198.47.10) at 3/6/2003 4:42:20 PM |

Sure do... what do you want to know? I agree with the assessment that it will be expensive, will do little to advance the XBox, think it'll be cool to Halo at a place where they have arcade games (but there are very few that I know of in the area). I'm all for it.
And I wasn't dead wrong about Opera. This post was edited by sodajerk on Thursday, March 06, 2003 at 16:42. |

I don't want to dig through the thread but it turns out that it was a configuration issue on the client not on the server. You were hell bent on saying that it was an MS issue and that big bad MS was picking on David.
I agree that the Xbox arcade box will be a waiste of money. But I am guessing that they are doing it since Sony and others are on the same path. And that it will be more of a marketing thing than anything else |
