Gates Talks Xbox Strategy, Dismisses Sony.

Bill Gates is all over the place lately, chatting people up on the subject of the Xbox 360 and musing over Microsoft's future online strategies. Apparently chuffed at now having sold a grand total of 10.4 million Xboxen to date, the Microsoft chairman seems generally pleased with the state of the world.

Feel better now power of green V ? :)

This made me laugh out loud
"It [the Xbox 360] is a general purpose computer."

So it's a computer now... what does it use .. windows, linux? You can't even acces internet with it...

BG is full of BS and playing catch-up with PS3.

" So it's a computer now... what does it use .. windows, linux? You can't even acces internet with it..." ohh wow, interesting statement. It can't access the "internet". So, what do you think xbox live uses? lol. Technically the 360 is a computer because it has all the components of a computer. Not having a browser does not change that fact. Also, windows, and linux are OS and just because a computer does not have an OS does not make a computer. So, what would you call a computer with a formatted drive? uhhh... educate yourself people educate yourself.

You mean the DreamCast or Web TV are not PC's?. I think #2's the one that's got people laughing out loud.

"The Mercury News also asked Gates how he felt about the Nintendo Wii, but as it turns out Bill doesn't have much to say on the subject. He stated that to his mind Sony was always the direct competitor, and that without next-gen graphics the novelty of Wii's unique controller would probably wear off soon."

Both MS and Sony really seem to be underestimating Nintendo of late, since when does the next generation of gaming has to be about HD graphics only, this is really a stupid comment when the Xbox 360 has Blue Dragon. Also I bet the only real reason why gates is saying that any sort of new controller with motion sensors is a novelty is that it has failed on the PC before we all know if it works then MS would implement it in there controllers in a heart beat.

Well of course the games on 360 and PS3 are going to be about more then just visuals! Everybody keeps talking like the Nintendo controller is what makes next gen when it isn't! Each generation I expect to be pulled into gaming worlds that get closer and closer to reality and Nintendo doesn't give you that! This generation is about HD visuals, online games and movies, as well as deeper immersion and facial expression! I'm sure some of you enjoy the Wii but in another year the visuals and sound alone will make it look like a joke! I will buy a Wii for my kids once the price drops down to around 125.00 because I feel it's over priced and over hyped! There so much about the hype on Wii I don't like and especially how Nintendo try's to say that they are not in direct competition with Sony and MS!

Sony is really not that big of a threat at this present time. I would feel the same way.

I think Nintendo's next console will be a larger factor. They are now and have been in the green for months. If the use the new Profits they are building correctly I see the Next Nintendo a huge success with hard core and casual gamers alike. To tell you the truth I'm anticipating the next Nintendo more than the next XBOX. But time will tell.

If I know I'm better than you I don't need to talk about you. Maybe M$ and Sony should just shut up. Be more like Nintendo and focus on "You".

"Both MS and Sony really seem to be underestimating Nintendo of late, since when does the next generation of gaming has to be about HD graphics only, this is really a stupid comment when the Xbox 360 has Blue Dragon"

WTF does that mean? Are you trying to say that Blue Dragon isn't next gen?! Have you SEEN THE GAME?! It looks like an interactive anime cartoon, for crying out loud....10x more impressive than LOZ:TP, for sure.

[the_bebop]

But that was my point, just because the graphics look like an animted show dosent mean it is not next gen, espiecially if the gameplay is even better then last generation, and buy the way for animated video games the graphics game Gundam Musou look way better then Blue Dragon.
