Another analyst: Microsoft execs feeling good about Xbox

Now, some psychoanalysis on Microsoft executives would be quite entertaining ("Tell me about these lucid dreams, Peter."), especially when compared to the recent observations made by Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. In his earth-shattering report, Mr. Sebastian describes the folks behind the Xbox brand as "upbeat" given the commercial success of Gears of War, the company's considerable launch lead against competitors and consistent growth in Europe. Japan, not so much.

People weren't so narrow minded, and blindly loyal, to see how great the Xbox360 really is. It has great games, great online service, and it is less expensive than the PS3!

beans7025d ago

Yeah that would be nice but the extreme fans will always stick with Sony through it's up's and downs!Word of mouth is everything and eventually people or most will switch over to 360 after they realize it's just got more going for it!

The 360 has so many features. At first when I bought an Xbox $50 didn’t justify Xbox Live. But with the 360 $50 is just right for a fantastic service and great security. I just love playing all these games (GC, Wii, PS2, Xbox and 360 lots of fun) Besides MS makes the best operating system in the world, kinda got to expect the 360 to run smooth it runs on software.

Capt CHAOS7024d ago

I was nodding in agreement all the way until you mentioned.. MS make the best opperating system in the world!! LOL - NOT
As if they have any other commercial competion in the OS world..

JasonPC360PS3Wii7024d ago

was not the key point I know they have no other Operating system to compete with. The kew point was "kinda got to expect the 360 to run smooth it runs on software." How long have they been making software? So in this area they have a head start.

MicroGamer7025d ago (Edited 7025d ago )

if you take off your fanboy glasses and look at it from a purely logical perspective, 360 definitely is the best deal going right now. I got mine, not because I am an XBox fanboy, but because I had a limited opportunity to get a really nice price on one and it does a lot more than PS3. I'm not going to let Sony sucker me into using my games console as a movie player again. I fell for that last time around and now have a big black brick on top of my tv because the laser burned out. And then, when they discovered how pathetic their lasers were, it took them 12 upgrades of the laser cartridge to get one that works like it's supposed to. I'll be damned if I'm going through all that again with a $600 machine. I'll spend the $200 for the HD-DVD player (which is an awesome price for an HD player, btw, even if it does come with minimal features) if I want to watch movies with my 360.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM2m ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum2h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos889h ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long10h ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac1d 3h ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long10h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.
