So Microsoft losing money has caused you to want to trade in your xbox system for a PS2.

That has to be the stupidest thing Ive ever heard!!!

I just completely ignore all that stuff now. I bought all three systems just for I wouldn't feel too bad if something happemedd to one of them. I will say that I would be pretty mad if there was no Xbox. I don't like my Gamecube or Playstation 2 anywhere near as much as my Xbox.

That would be a decision you would regret. My friend did that for the exact same reasons you mentioned. Guess what? He has an Xbox again because it's better than the PS2 in every way.

About six months after launch things looked bleek for the Xbox. There weren't many games and people were saying it's the next Dreamcast.

Since then MS bought Rare, launched Live, has more great games than I can afford, and committed 2 Billion until 2005.

The reason that some people don't like the Xbox is because it's made by MS. The reason that the PS2 gets good publicity is because it's made by Sony.

Don't let the negative cr@p dog you and please trust me and keep your Xbox.

Whatever move that Microsoft lost on the Xbox in one year, Bill gates can make even more in 2 days, so calm down.

well sorry. it's just that you dont have to go around glorifying any nation either. i happen to be mexican, and people with that lifestyle are rare, and usually lie. stereotype, you say? yes. but is there some truth to it? some, yes.

by the way, i am of hispanic heritage. doesnt change anything, but still, juss so you know.

Microsoft has the most powerful lawyers anyway. If they can get them out of Spliting up the company, they can get them out of that. It's just another company wanting money.:rolleyes:

plus, microsoft will never be in a position where they will be so starped for cash that they got to give up on xbox
whatever they lose on xbox is made up very quickly every year. and hey, i think that soon they will be making money off of it. the tide is turning. i mean, not all companies start off making money off of a new product right away

Works in the states half of the year, saves his money, and then lives for dirt cheap with the extremely good money that he made in the US. That is just my guess... not a bad idea... as long as you don't drink the water...

Nah... Racer is a loser.... I think he is just a big fanboy of Sony... go ahead sell your Xbox and get a 3 year old system for it... at least get the damned Gamecube moron...

Geez.... I got the PS2, but I certainly wouldn't trade the 'box for it... whether it flops or not....

uh, right, and Bill Gates purchased me a new car and a house just yesterday.

No, they didn't break up, all that was ruled was that they did have some issues about being a monopoly, but they ruled out the splitting up the company point.
