Gryph Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Some more XBOX 2 news. " The research firm, which rates Microsoft at "outperform," expects Xbox 2 to be available for retail sale in October or November at a retail price of about $249 to $299. Goldman said the Xbox console would cater to the lower-end of the consumer segment. The firm expects Microsoft to ship about 3 million units of the Xbox 2 worldwide in the December quarter. http://www.forbes.com/markets/2005/04/12/0...yahoo&referrer= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluestinger X Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) lol i doubt it will be 250. But im sure it will be cheaper then the ps3 and all its cell hype. Meh, I dunno how true that is. 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. tongue.gif back before ps1 to most people the idea of video games was to expensive and too geeky. Soon as the ps1 comes out everyone on the block has a ps1 and no one really cares about the game play they just want cool cut scenes like in final fantasy 7... blah i miss the old days . Then things got even worse mario was no longer cool since he wasnt a badass or mature. Thanks sony thanks alot.

I wouldn't call anyone willing to play through FF7 a "casual gamer." I was referring more to the people who would come into my store and talk only about playing Halo with their drinking buddies, or reminisce about the 2 games they had on their nintendo.

Gryph Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Here is something I forgot to post: http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=4683 That's the alleged XBOX 2 controller. Read the article and see the reasoning why it is possible that that is really it. However, I'm sure that color is just prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
