BoomBa_GoosE Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 eh, I'm not so excited bout the next xbox. im more lookin forward to the ps3. but in regards to MTV, this would really help MS for its launch. Unless they are goin to launch b4 ps3 does, then theyll be okay (sega dreamcast and its whole 9/9/99 release date matching with its huge award show) Dreamcast was everywhere on MTV. commercials, shows, MTV CRIBS, everyone had one in that show. so xbox is surly gonna get a lot of publicity.

Goin to MTV is just gonna help its launch for a little while. after that, its all one on one with Sony. And maybe its just me, but Sony is intriguing me with its Cell processor. this is gonan be one hell of a show when these two machines are released.

Bluestinger X Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 actully frodo will be doing the "it's good to play together!" lol Like i said before this is just MS trying to get ahold of the casual gamers.. Which is something sony has been whoring since the ps1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeval Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Like i said before this is just MS trying to get ahold of the casual gamers.. Which is something sony has been whoring since the ps1.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Actually, of the two systems, it's the XBox that has the bigger casual-gamer appeal. That was MS's target audience since day 1 with the "play together" campaign and those crappy stock photos of college age jocks and clean-cut frat-preps all over their ads. Considering their approach, this MTV spot will probably hit their target pretty well. And K', what makes you think the Cell won't perform reasonably? I'm not saying the hype isn't ridiculous, I'm just curious if there has been any real data released. Edited April 12, 2005 by Daeval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The data released on the Cell leans more towards it being a beast. Also, IBM and Toshiba are involved and IBM is one of the only companies with the techinical expertise, scientists, and fabrication plants to actually make the Cell. However, Sony is involved so I think of Emotion Engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were casual gamers prior to the PS1, but the size of the gaming population as a whole increased so dramatically in that era that the number of casual gamers was suddenly significant. No one's really going to have facts on this matter though, so I guess your theory is as good as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuronMaster Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Heck, I'm probably not gonna get either of them, but if I do It'd depend on the games. Fanboys need to chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
