Comment Mainstream launch titles != Xbox sucks (Score 1) 1062
The Salon article wasn't a review of the Xbox, it was essentially a review of the launch titles. I agree that there aren't any truly ground-breaking titles, but they will come. Gotta say, I want to play Cel Damage, though.
The article almost entirely ignored the fact that developers have been quite positive about their Xbox experiences. Contrast this to what many developers are saying about the PS2's arcane internal structure.
Remember the original Playstation? It took off because Sony provided developers with an excellent platform. Also, the games improved over time. Compare the quality of the PS1 launch titles with the most recent PS1 games - big difference!
If developers fall in love with the Xbox, then eventually they will create great, innovative games for it. It's a nice piece of hardware, with huge potential. The fact that the launch didn't live up to all the marketing hype shouldn't surprise anyone.
