Not neccesarily. Genesis came first and really scared the hell out of Nintendo. It was just the Saturn was actually doing well in Japan and then Sega had to spring it on America with no hype and a $400 price tag. Sega killed themselves more than Nintendo did.

Also last I heard, the game had some serious control problems that need to be worked out. Im talking Geist level control problems.

I haven't heard a thing about Liberty City Stories aside from the ad I saw last time I was in EBGames. I really haven't seen a thing that's made me want to buy a PSP besides the someday release of Crisis Core.

So do we know what launch titles are coming with the 360 then?

Treasure is releasing Bleach: Souten ni Kakeru Unmei on January 26, 2006. Heroic Mario is now looking forward to it more than Zelda. XD

Two days after my birthday... and Bleach is fairly good, from what I hear, so a DS fighting game sort of deal based on it should be good (personally I want that Naruto game for it, but Bandai should be domesticating it soon enough with the Anime releasing here soon).

NOMINATE KEN MASTERS FOR SC2K5
http://img291.echo.cx/img291/3398/ken23rc.gif

I'm getting an Xbox 360 at launch and I think it will be killer. There are a few games that will launch with the system that haven't even been revealed yet. Just wait until October and you will see. Even if there wasn't those games though, there are enough to sell the system.

Perfect Dark 0
Project Gotham 3
ESIV: Oblivion
DOA4
Madden
Quake 4
Kameo

...

That will be enough. Trust me.

Regardless of what you know about Bleach, the fact that Treasure is making it makes it one to watch.

Perfect Dark Zero is the only game at launch I'm REALLY interested in, though PGR3 will probably be decent (if it's like the first one) and I'd like Madden if I could ever forget about how much better ESPN 2k# was, heh.

59th/125 in the Guru Standings. Why did I pick Kratos? *sigh*

it's not really on-topic, but this fall, my system of choice will definitely be the DS.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Lunar: Dragon Song
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Mario Kart DS!!!!!
Mario & Luigi 2

the XBox 360 doesn't have anything on those games. at least, in my mind. >_>

on topic, Megaman is still performing expectedly. hooray. although, i gotta admit, Luigi's performance yesterday impresses me even further once i realized that he managed a higher vote total against what has to be a stronger opponent. i mean, KOS-MOS has to be stonger than Jin Kazama, right? either way, i'm starting to get even more worried about Sonic's chances to beat Tifa OR Luigi.

I'd take Jin over Conker. I really would. But, Mega Man's supposedly doing just what he should be, so I'm just as confident as I was before. It doesn't necessarily mean Jin would lose to Conker anyway... I don't trust fodder extrapolation very much.

Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

Let's see, an unimpressive performance against Jin, a Tekken character, vs. a decent performance against Conker, who just had a new Xbox game release.

Yeah, you know where I'm going with this.

Oh, and GameFAQs was advertised on G4's Attack of the Show today (by someone who works at GameSpot), so I decided to check the vote totals.

Mega Man being SFF'd bodes a *little* better for Snake, especially if he ends up getting a boost from MGS3. Isn't Zelda post-Vivi slightly above Snake's adjusted, though?
