Xbox 360, Part I

Sidney · 19th November 2005, 07:26

It will come as a surprise to many that the Xbox 360 has already arrived in stores. Microsoft has wasted no time in bringing out the new Xbox, only three years after the original console. The company has shifted into warp speed, producing a console whose processor leaves the average PC in the dust. But the trade-off is that the folks in Redmond are pushing the replacement rate for this product as if it was a computer. We should point out that the PlayStation 2, which came out in 2000, is still very much a presence. Where consoles are concerned, people prefer to invest in games, taking time to explore and take advantage of the machine's full potential, instead of reinvesting 400 bucks in the console every three years.
