Default Xbox 2 Coming within one years time

Quote:
Zelda, Revolution, Xbox 2
i have a quick question with revolution coming next year why would nintendo release a zelda game for gamecube?wouldn't make more sense for it to come out on the new system?also what is the make of the plasma screen you brought?thanks

Matt responds: Well, Revolution isn't coming out in 2005. It's scheduled to release in 2006 alongside Sony's PlayStation 3. Microsoft will release the successor to Xbox in 2005. And by the way, if there is still any doubt about this happening, now's the time to put it to rest. I've seen some holiday 2005 plans from publishers and several of them have major Xbox 2 titles scheduled for next November. I could name specific franchises and brand new IPs. It's really happening. And from the looks of it, there are going to be some pretty impressive launch titles.
Matt From IGN....So not a bad source at all

It's too early to release it next year, IMO. 2006 is better but oh well, if Microshaft thinks its so wonderful to be first (and albeit have the ****tiest hardware by the time the other 2 consoles are out), then more power to them even though it feels weird to have a new console in only 4 years. Proves how little MS knows the console world.

A gutsy move, but I'll take it. DC was great, even with the worst hardware. And we'll see who's laughing when the 1st gen games come out, and you're still waiting.

Microshaft? Ooooh, thats so ORIGINAL and HILARIOUS. Why not call them Microstink or the ever popular M$

As for the Dreamcast, they were as much of a victim of Sony's bullying tactics with devlopers and retailers as they were of name value. As for the hardware power, its arguable whether or not the PS2 is more powerful, and the DC actually did a number of things better than the PS2.

it really all depends on sony and nintendo as to how well MS does with a 05 launch. (more so on sonys side). Depends on what they're offering, and at what point they get the hype for it started.

Personally i think MS will be fine with the launch, Part of Sega's problem was they did that early launch after another failed system. xbox didnt fail, and its collecting steam as it goes into the next console launch, not losing it. an early launch would really hurt nintendo rather then MS.

I agree with Null. If any console needs some help right now, it is the next Nintendo console. Nintendo has to give current GC customers a reason to stay with the company now or the next console race is going to go to Xbox and the trusty PS3. That might be a major reason why Zelda is coming out soon. They want people to believe in them again.

MS should do just fine releasing early... As long as they get a heavy supply of popular games out in the first year. Nintendo on the other hand, is screwed no matter how they come out. I can't even imagine Nintendo doing better than 3rd place in America next gen. And as it stands... if the next Zelda game isn't getting 9.8-10's from everywhere I see no reason to get another Nintendo system.

(I hope they do the dirst cheap strategy again, then I might consider it.... might.)

I will definitely feel left out when I see people playing Madden 2006 on a wonderful looking Xbox2, while I am playing a crappier version on the PS2.

What operating system are you using right now, just out of curiosity?

Right, because having the worst hardware of the bunch just ****ing killed the PS2.

I'm not saying having worst hardware kills anything. I wasn't trying to come across that way but it seems I did. What I was trying to say is it seems too soon in 2005. I'd rather all 3 hold out til 2006 to see what beefy stuff can come for the console world.

Seriously...How can you NOT see Sony as the gaming kings right now? I love Nintendo as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to be naive about the whole situation.
