Is it just me or is this "X Box" becoming another Dreamcast?
1.) The X Box is almost bombing in Japan. Hardware is selling a little less than expected and any titles other than DOA3 isnt beeing touched. This was pretty much expected. Developers will notice. Europe is another thing. Europe has been known to purchase consoles based on price and Gamecube is literally HALF the price of X Box. Only hardcore gamers will pick it up. Looks like America is the only place X Box will "survive" and with 1 market how long will it last?
2.) Every new game announcment has been announced for the hardcore gamer. Shenmu 2, Project Ego, Jet Set Future ect... We all know while these game may rock they lack the popularity of say Mario, Zelda, Gran turism and Final Fantasy. They simply will not sell as well. Developers will notice.
Now this is all speculation but unless this Mays E3 is great for X Box dont expect it to last much longer than the DC.
