    Killer app? It's a bit early for that isn't it? Are there any games anywhere near complete?

    Reading this months Edge magazine someone at microsoft was saying that its called the 360 because it wasn't of the same 'era' as the Xbox. They compared it to the PlayStation to PS2 change, saying that it worked there because they were 'of the same era'.
    I don't know exactly what microsoft think they have created in xbox 360 but from what I can see all it represents is the next step in console evolution and not any kind of huge change or revolution which would warrant the belief that we have entered some new era in console gaming.
    Marketing people need to relax and stop trying to out hype each other. Does anyone buy it?

    I hope so, but I'm sceptical.

    They're my favourite games and console company, no doubt about that, but i wouldn't say love. I can see where they do shite, and acknowledge it, and I'd say im far from a fanboy, having more sega consoles than nintendo And enjoying and being able to see other good games on other consoles, by other developers.

    But yes, i do like nintendo
