Bill Gates's Plan For Xbox360

In a recent issue of Time magazine, Microsoft

Wow... who would have thought.

What if Halo 3 is delayed? It could (and probably will) happen.

Yeah Bill Gates also stated later on that it's not fully likely that it'll come out exactly when. He doesn't even know when the PS3 is to launch. This is really old news... Like I heard about this probably 5 months ago or more.

It's not even true. He was kidding, it's just conjecture.

Yeah it could all have been a joke, I doubt it would work anyway. If people have their mind set on buying the ps3, they would buy the ps3. Its unlikely they'd buy halo3

Thanks for giving us an article from May, too.

yea, not too sure about being launched near PS3, i mean sony's releasing it in spring, and there was a rumor for halo 3 to be in june

All he probably meant is that they'll release tons of info, screens, video, and maybe even a demo of Halo 3 right before ps3's launch.

It would be better if they released the game the day PS3 launched. Then when the Rev. comes out they should release Perfect Dark Zero. Just because they know they can make a lot of sales that way, since people will have money in their pockets, and be going to buy a new system, and they see this game...

Bill Gates plan for Xbox 360= make more money and try to take yet another branch of entertainment under Microsoft.

Easy as that.

It's all business. Each company tries their own ways to gain money. For example Microsoft wants to suprise and try to knock down competition by releasing something big when something of the othe companies comes out. Meanwhile I tend to notice the huge amounts of cash nintendo uses to advertise. They probably spend as much as microsoft and sony do combined. While Sony is well.. Sony and they built a good reputation that fell some but is still where most people want to get it because it's the brand they've preferred or the only brand they've tried the last few years. Though Sony advertises and makes decent business moves..

There are very few game series that are good for X Box. Doom, and Halo. Thats all i know of. PS3 is gonna be better because their range of games are better.



YES 4 PORTS!!!!!

X-Box 360 really only has one plan:



Keep doing precisely as they are, but release a new console that makes it appear like they're advancing the gaming experience, which is also a delightful excuse to get more money out of witless supporters.

I love that GIF.

Show it to your friends, put it in your sig on other boards. I'm not trying to sound arrogant about it, but I created it in the first place out of surprise that no one'd noticed that the X-Box 360 really was the same ****ed thing.

Aren't all consoles pretty much the same thing? Rarely do they bring anything new to the table.

No they're not, each console is unique in its own way. I could go into a massive debate but that would take forever so here are the basic facts that make each console unique. The Gamecube is best if you like to play innovational games,
The xbox is best if you like polished up realistic games or if you like the exclusive games such as the Halo series... and online gameplay (xbox live)
The ps2 is the best if you like a large variety of games to choses from excluding the ps1 games it is also for those of you who enjoy the range of ps2 exclusive games.

Yeah but what they are saying is that all the games are basically the same. The Xbox has sports, racing, and shooting games. The PS2 also has the same thing in its line up. Almost all sports, racing and shooting games that hit the Xbox hit the PS2. So what they are saying is that the systems basically have the same games on them with a few exculsive games.

Halo3 for Xbox360. Half Life 3 for Playstation 3?... Sony would have to make a shooting game to better Microsoft's shooting game and console.:chainsaw:

Um, Killzone 2 already looks like a contender, and I'm pretty **** sure that it will be a better game than Halo 3.

[quote=Vampiro]... that's not what I meant.

I meant the NES, SNES, N64, and GC were all pretty alike. So they changed a few things around, nothing really innovative.

The PS1 to PS2 to PS3. Pretty much the exact same, they just look better. But really, they all seem pretty much the exact same. Even right down to the controller.

And the Xbox to 360 is no exception. Nothing truly innovative or revolutionary. Just an upgrade from the last.

The Revolution is the only one that's straying... and even then not by much.

Thats why I've shunned consoles. If someone doesn't believe the DS has innovation, they''ve never played it.

Why does everything have to be innovative to be considered good? There's nothing wrong with consoles just the way they are, and the games are still getting better, so why take a different route and an unecessary risk?

Go home, do a little research, come back and edit that post.

Wait, wtf? GC has the best analog sticks out there by absolutely miles. They're the only sticks with octagonal ring guides around them, allowing you to lock the stick in specific, common directions. Monkey Ball on the Xbox or PS2 controller sucks.

They could get it looking like the CG in the cutscenes of Final Fantasy, say, but not the CG used in Star Wars or anything.

I've heard people saying that Kameo looks like CG.

If that doesn't do it for you, then look at the gameplay video: [url=http://www.xboxyde.com/news_2099_en.html]Kameo Presentation[/url]

My opinion: It looks **** good but not as good as a Toy Story graphics.

Of course. Only the awesome power of the Emotion Engine in the PS2 can render Toy Story-like graphics.

[quote=Big Boss][FONT=trebuchet ms][COLOR=yellowgreen]The Killzone trailer shown at E3 this year was a real-time demo. The reason people made such a big deal about it was because it wasn't running on actual PS3 hardware, but on a PC with an nVidia graphics card similar to the company's RSX chip used for the PS3. The presentation was to give an idea of what the PS3 was capable of. For footage on what the PS3 can factually do, check the MGS4 trailer that was running, in real time, on a PS3 at TGS.

As for Bill Gates' comment, I heard on X-Play that, after talking to Microsoft representatives, that they shouldn't take Gates' statement seriously as nothing has been decided yet. I assume, like Ken Kutaragi, he just loves to make the press talk.[/COLOR][/FONT]

With completely scripted animation and camera angles, try again.

I doubt that dropping Halo 3 the same time as PS3 would effect their sales. If you're gonna spend $400- $500+ for a system, what's another $50 if you want Halo 3 too?

It'll effect it some. Not a lot but it could potentionally hurt Sony. It depends.. We know little about Halo 3, so saying how Godly it'll be and destroying Sony can't be said as of now if at all or ever. It could hurt but it won't destroy Sonys sales.

I don't get how it could destory PS3. Halo 1 and 2 didn't hurt PS2 sales remotely. Most PS2 fans simply don't want Halo.

yup... sonys releasing some game the same days as 360 i 4got whats its called.
