Is Microsoft Simply Retarded? (XBOX 360 Games)

Published on February 4, 2006 By greywar In Gaming

This is what laughingly passes for a recently released list for the 360 over at EBGames.com:

More than a full month since a game release for a brand new platform? Is it any wonder they are taking so much heat over the lack of backwards compatibility? If you don't give users new stuff to play you had better let them play their old stuff at the very least. At the time of this writing two of our big favs (World Series of Poker and Battlefront 2) are still not playable on the new box. WTF are gamers supposed to be playing? The minigames on the Live Marketplace? We have computers that come with better stuff than that for free you know.

I wanted the 360 launch to be good or great... instead we get this crap. It is like a mismanagement primer really.

yea... Halo 3 is gonna be announced and that will be all she wrote. until then, im not getting one. the truth is there really are no games that actually tap the 360's power. as for Sony and Nintendo, well nintendo is sad to say a true gaming company that has fallen off the mainstream. And while the PS2 was less powerful than the xbox (dont get mad at me its stastics) the PS3 is gonna be more powerful than the 360 but ive heard game developers dont like the cell processor that the PS3 uses. kinda like an boat engine in a car kinda thing. but everyone remeber, most new consoles have only one decent game to their name when they first come out. its just history, in fact xbox was lucky when it came out with halo that it was such a big hit. and to finish it off, the fact is, its still incredibly hard to for me to find an open 360 for sale.

You actually bought one of those things? Hahahahahahahaha

LOL

You have a 360!?!?!?! wtf? Are YOU simply retarted?

I just thought these two answers were great

But there exist another game for the Xbox 2. Fight Night Round 3. (So now there's THREE games for that console) Really good actually. (No I don't own an Xbox 2. A friend (who isn't very bright) does.
