hi

in the last thread people thought that I am some guy that like ps2 or nintendo, first of all I want to clear that thing I love the xbox, and it's not in my country yet, but u have to understand that the xbox in usa is doing very good cuz games comes out very soon, but in the pal version there is a lot of delys, I just don't get microsoft why they do it ? why they simply don't give all the games in the multi format why the pal and all this systems, today it's irelevnt!
the xbox isn't doing very good in europe, actualy from what I read it's a complete fail, more then that the reson is not enough games!!

in japan there is no need to say that the xbox lost more then 30 precent of his sales to ps2, and to remind u that I read another article that say that microsft is planing a new console actually a xbox with some digital recorder so it can sell the xbox this way, it will come to the state...

so now may I ask again will the xbox fail>?

bye
(btw: if microsft has a lot of money doesn't mean they are planing to loose all the company money on the xbox system ... belive me gate wil cut it very fast if it see that no profits is coming out of it ..

For the love of god please tell me english is not your first language. And Microsoft doesn't publish every single Xbox game so don't blame them for the fact that there are so few games out in Europe. Also I read this in another thread but it seams to fit well here. The PS1 didn't catch on for about 2 years after its release but it became that most successfull console of all time. Give it time. Microsoft didn't poor billions into the Xbox just to cancel it in a few years. And btw that Xbox hybrid is just giving people more reason to buy and Xbox over a PS2 or Gamecube. And if I hear one more Dreamcast/Xbox comparison I will kill the person who makes it. The DC was released when Sega was already in deep financial trouble and they had to cancel production because they were losing money on it. Believe me that Microsoft is not going anywhere soon. Edit: Oh and Microsoft never came into this war trying to win. They came in to get a foothold so they could win the next war.

Okay, I am sick and tired of people whing that there are no games in Europe or Japan!! They complain that Morrowind isnt coming until September, and after they whine they blame it on Microsoft!!!Microsoft has no control over games, like Morrowind is not published by Microsoft so it doesnt control when it gets to Europe or Japan. I went on the site and the games that ARE published by Microsoft are coming a month after it comes out here in AMerica!! SO thats not too long, but you people dont get that Microsoft has no control over a game if it isnt the publisher for that game!! So stop blaming it on Microsoft!!

MS does have some control over when games are released as the games are sent to them after they are complete for quality control and testing. If the game is deemed unsuitable for release it is sent back to the developers for fixing. But the rough release date is detirmined by the publisher

Well im from the UK, and i think in Europe people do have a right to whine. I mean, im picking up hunter on friday (the release day) and how long have you ppl had it already. And as for there not being any games over here, then thats correct, because there aint. we got gunmetal this week and apart from that there has been nothing for a while. As for morrowind, IMO 4 months is a long time to wait for a game.

shagpile? LOL!

Yeah I wouldn't want to do that if I had a 1 yr. warranty! The fact is Japan still gets all of the ps2 games like a century before the us. Why aren't we *****ing about this....because or the language barrier first of all, we don't hear them yabbering about how good this and that game is! That is the big difference. We share a language and internet sites, so unfortunatly that is just how it works! Sorry you guys don't get the games as soon as us...don't worry though they will be there. Remember pactience is a virtue! At least you guys know what games are good and crap before they even come out! :rolleyes:

Yeah thats a good point, at least the US can be our own ginny pigs when a game comes out..
its also understandable about japan, due to the conversion of voice and what not, but for Europe, i cant understand. i mean a month say, but 4 is taking the p!ss IMO...
but yeah we do get them in the end.. its nice to see we get a game before the US and same with Project Ego when it comes out..

Dave how could you... how many time do I have to say I've got a US and a PAL XBOXes so yes I can play games in the UK

Now I have played Morrowind XBOX and it's horrible the graphics are below par, animation stinks, it slowsdown and the battle system in a joke they haven't even taken time to do any XBOX enhancements it's just PC a port to XBOX, I'm just saying this as this in my conclusion of this game, most people like it I don't I though this was going to be something special but it was a letdown. Lets hope that Project Ego isn't a letdown too
where are the Japanese RPGs are we getting any? I'm dying here I want to see Skies of Arcadia 2 on the XBOX sooooon

Ah i dident know u had both lol must have missed it when you posted that bit of info.

From what ive read of morrowind it plays and looks better than the PC version with the exception of the resolution. Framerate is higher and all effects are turned on. It's a hard game to get into and if you dont have the patience to get into it then its not for you. Im still unsure as to buy it or not as it looks like a daunting game that is huge. Not sure if i will be able to get into it fully or not as it will require a lot of time.

I have a freind in Holland, and I keep her informed, giving her review's of game's from someone she can trust, not some biased magazine lol. The thing is, you just have to ignore the fact that other countries get their game's first. I gave up on waiting for game's a long time ago......I wait until I hear a official release date for my country, I don't sit around and whine about Japan getting game's first, that's a given if the game was developed there !;)

Who said anything about US vs UK? Not me ;)
All I’m saying is I think MS should pull their finger out when it comes down to QC. The reason it takes so long for a Japanese game to reach you, is because there is a great deal of conversations to be made. I mean all the voice-overs and text needs to be changed for one. But if a game is made in the US, I don’t see what takes so long to convert a game. Oh and I’m not whining, but I just wish games would come out sooner over here, maybe then sales would dramatically increase in Europe. I know this is the same with every console; I just wish someone would break the mould and release them in an acceptable time frame… I mean for an example, I looked for morrowind and its been delayed till November now…IMO that’s just taking the p!ss..
thanks for you thoughts on Morrowind :D

Also, don't you remember how long the rest of the world had to wait for a release following one in Japan? U.S. PS2 owners are still getting these same delays. It's only fair.

No you shouldent be complaining. Gunmetal is one of the very few games Europe will recieve first. The amount of games you get released over in america first far outweigh the amount of games we get first.

I don't know why people are complaining that games don't come out world wide at the same time. It has been like this since the beginning. Not just with games either, movies releases, dvd's, music cd's etc.

Most of the time the reason is that the companies just don't have the resources to stamp, package and ship games to every corner of the earth at the same time, so they break it out. Sometimes they do it to maximize profit. Sometimes it is legal issues. Sometimes they aren't too sure of their product so they test it in one area and if it is doing good, they know to make alot more for the world wide release. If it is doing poor then they won't be as ambitious when they release it worldwide.

How many games and systems does Japan get before everyone else?

If you don't like it, import it or move.
