MS Scores with Babes...NOT

For everybody who thinks MS is killing 'em at the box office, this just in: the only Xbox game in January's Top 10 Sales list is at the very bottom; the extremely pandering Xtreme Beach Volleyball, behind a Gameboy title I never heard of. 1. The Sims / PS2 / EA / $49 2. The Getaway / PS2 / SCEA / $40 3. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City / PS2 / EA / $50 4. Devil May Cry 2 / PS2 / Capcom / $49 5. SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals / PS2 / SCEA / $60 6. Dragon Ball Z Budokai / PS2 / Infogrames / $49 7. Madden NFL 2003 / PS2 / EA / $49 8. ATV Offroad Fury 2 / PS2 / SCEA / $40 9. Yu-Gi-Oh! Eternal / GBA / Konami / $30 10. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball / Xbox / Tecmo / $50

Why are you so insecure as a PS2 owner? This sort of shit simply doesn't belong here. Piss off Sony ass-kisser.

I don't think anyone was arguing that the Xbox is selling well at all (altho, again, Halo and Splinter Cell are the only really killer apps the console has had so far). I'm genuinely surprised to see DOA:XBV (as fantastic of a game as it is!) being in the top 10 of a sales chart, because the local shops don't seem to be pushing it out the door well at all. The fact that it's dwarfed in sales by the PS2 and still has a much larger online community is interesting, tho, especially considering that the Xbox leaves analog users out in the cold. I'm looking forward to moving this spring and getting my DSL setup again so I can get my MechAssault on, wot. Jason

For some strange reason I thought you were referring to Michael Schumacher scoring with the babes, and then you post a list for topselling video games. Yes, I was confused for a good 30 seconds or so. MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8,1 RUN

yeah, me too, I thought Schumi was caught in a "special bar" in italy....

Why are you so worried about MS and their xbox? Is it because it has been selling so well lately? Is it because it has clearly passed Nintendo as the #2 console in America? Is it because their online base is larger then any console's in the history of gaming?

Ya know, actually DOA:XBV is one hell of a good sim. Take the AI for example - you have to buy the women presents in order to get them to team up with you, and if they don't like the presents they get mad and throw them away. Is that realistic or what? And how about those physics? Never before have I seen elastic body dynamics so well modeled. And the jumping game - pure genius!!!

I have a 10-year-old son whose fav PC games are Medieval, BF1942, NOLF2, OpFlashPt, and the Impossible Creatures demo (he has a PS2 which he never touches and an Xbox on which he only plays Halo), and an 8-year-old daughter who wouldn't touch a computer with a 3.2-meter pole.

Okay, my daughter *used* to like GPL...when she was abt. 5. Her impression of how Daddy drives was to saw back and forth madly at the wheel. I still have a replay of her at Talladega tacking down the back straight like an undercranked America's Cup leg. (She is now only interested in music, so I may have to find a use for all that MIDI h/w & s/w that came w. all those Creative Labs sound cards. Finally!)

Ease-of-use. Macs also initially provided more professional solutions in the late 80's with the Digidesign hardware/softwre (i.e. Pro Tools). Right now I wouldn't stop making music on a PC if Apple paid me to be their spokesperson, there's just way too much good software for the PC now (just as with every other kind of software). The sort of things I'm working on at the moment would either require several thousand dollars of vintage modular synthesizers or the very specific software packages I'm using, for which there is no equivalent on a Macintosh. If the aim is creativity, I'd rather use the solution that provides the most options and flexibility. =) Jason

Well, that may be due to the heritage of the Atari ST :) That was the first popular machine with MIDI built-in, but it was also kinda cheap and considered by many a 'wanabe Macintosh' (which was utterly expensive at the time). So, when the ST declined and the Mac got cheaper many musicians started to consider a Mac, also because it had a relatively good sound system built-in when the pc still mainly said 'beep' and 'kccchhh' (the Sound Blaster was yet to be invented). The Mac didn't have MIDI built-in though. Regards, Ruud
