Xbox Schmex Box...

So as anyone of my friends know, i've been keeping close tabs on the latest console race/war, but what im hearing from almost EVERY source i have and use, is that the Xbox is not showing true "Next-Gen" stuff. Meaning that all the movies and all the hype and all the tech jargon thats spilling out of Microsoft recently isn't impressing ANYONE!!

Every magazine, every news show, every net site (other than the ones affiliated with Microsoft naturely) have said that what has been shown on the Xbox 360 looks like something the current Xbox could do. The only game that is impressing anyone is the new Cliffy B. project called "Gears Of War". Done by the team that normally does the Unreal Tournament series. That game admittedly looks totaly bad ass. Everything else looks boring. Every one out there has predicted that unless Xbox has a "Killer Ap" its going to get tossed to the ground and shat upon by the 800lb gorilla that is the Playstation 3.

Thats not even considering the fact that the first Xbox still has yet to make a profit in Japan. Yeah you know Japan, the land of milk and honey of video games. Japan still hates the first Xbox, for several reasons. Its too big, its totaly ugly, you have to buy a special remote in order to watch dvds... oh yeah and its from an American Company. Watching an on the street interview with japanese people about the Xbox 360, most of them did not have the current Xbox, and about 90% said they would not buy the next one. Good luck Xbox360... you'll need it.
