well acording to people from the US, the majority of them are not happy with their 360's.. ist because they had high hopes that the graphcis where going to be amazing and the gameplay being innovating but that diddnt happen. look at the launch titles. 9/10 are sequals, update season for sports games and pc ports.. x360 performs more like xbox 1.5 LOL!!

Perfect Dark Zero is a sequal, as is Project Gotham 3 and Call of Duty 2, and those are 3 of the strongest games on the system.

Kameo, by all accounts, looks great and is innovating (compared to most Xbox games anyway), and the graphics are supposed to be very special, but only if you have a nice HD screen. I don't think those complaints (which come from where, by the way?) hold much water.

The dodgy sports updates however, seems to be spot on. FIFA is very bad, apparently, and the rest are average-at-best American sports games, of which only Madden is interesting me.

Its a reasonable enough launch list - I'm sure anyone with Perfect Dark \ Call of Duty 2, Project Gotham and Kameo would have a nice mix of games, all quality, all very different.

I cant ever remember a console launch where the game-lineup was anything to write home about, and to be fair, i think the 360 has done reasonable on that front.
The playstation 2 launch games were laughable for example. The Xbox wasnt much better.

Ill wait for a few more titles to come out before making my decision on it

Also its always unhappy customers that make the most noise, the happy people are too busy enjoying themselves. Unless you have surveyed a very large random sample such statments are worthless.

Think back to the 2d days.

We could be pleasantly surprised by the Revolution

[jonneymendoza]

yes and this is why its not good to buy a console that JUST comes out... i got the info from basicly an american version of hexus type forum

They were better, but still nowhere near the quality they should have been.
The entire delay with releasing a game worldwide was worse then than today in a lot of cases.
Ill excuse the NES in this case, as i think Nintendo did a fairly good job with its titles and keeping fresh ones coming.

£280 for a console with one pad and no games, £40 for a years Xbox Live so you can get the most out of your games, £40 a pop for the games and a new tv needed to make them look any better than current gen titles?

Eek.

This is expensive on a very big scale.

The sort of scale you'd find on a fat dragons arse.

I think this is the case for every new release of a console. Just resist for a few months, and your patience will be greatly rewarded!

Without the new Tv bit, yes.

the super seekrit rumours coming from nintendo suggest that the revolution won't have a simultaneous launch - it'll be europe getting it first (not entirely unheard of, a few n64 and gamecube games and a fair number of ds games came out first in europe, including nontendo titles)

[Zak33]

......having to buy a new TV to get the most out of it, this console is very expensive.

Or maybe I'm just a bit older now and as such, more miserable.

welcome to our world
