I'm guessing Petear has no Idea that Utter is a Nintendo fanboy(DONT FLAME WARN ME FOR THAT MODS HES Even said it himself and its not like I am flaming him, its the truth.)
I know he is, but it's just sad to me that either he thinks or an entire nation thinks that the 360 is terrible just because of the size. Pretty dumb if you ask me.
*comes to Utter's rescue*
Being a quasi-Nintendo fanboy [I have a Gamecube and DS ... heart original nintendo], I have to say that making comments on the size is not why I, personally, don't want the XBOX 360 right now. There's a couple reasons.
1. Launch crashes
-This appears to be happening throughout the launch systems, as basically every report has either been 'constant crashes' or 'it's only crashes a couple times'. This is worrisome. And the crashes are because of issue#2 ...
2. The power supply
The power supply is what's worrisome. The thing is real large, prone to overheating, and a crapload of other bad stuff. NOT GOOD.
3. The ability to make 5 for launch
Microsoft released around 300k? As the first next-gen console, that's just plain irresponsible, if not self-suicide. Both if its competitors will be out by next christmas. And it's plenty too expensive right now. [unless this has changed ... i's out of stock pretty much everywhere except EBAY, right?]
.. that said, if Ninety-Nine Nights delivers, I may have to take a hard look at buying one. And XBOX Live Arcade looks sweeeeet [though not as sweet as N's deal, with free online multiplay as well. Still plenty good.]
But. the reason the Japanese don't like the system?
-No Square
-All Western Games
-^see above
Right now, the best games out for it are ... a FPS, another FPS, an adventure game everyone thinks is bad[though I've been hearing it's brilliant], Madden '06 ... the list of not caring goes on.
I've heard it did worse at lanuch than the original XBOX did. Now that's pretty bad.
my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
Seriously though, what is the problem? You can't pick it up, you're too weak, I mean what? Don't knock it until you try it at least.
When the xbox first came out the controller was horrible for people who didn't have gorilla hands. Even with the advent of the new and better controller the average Japanese may have still found it too large.
I still found the xbox 360's controller('gorilla pad') alittle on the big size for my taste.

I guess everyone in America just likes things bigger, like boobs.
Bigger racks are always great but bigger controllers are not.
I would have to agree with Sam111111, there was alot of problems with the Xbox 360's release over there and release in general over here for much the same reasons. They released the system way too early and that in itself really shows that Microsoft is worry-some for it's competitors.

I consider my hands pretty average in size, and I didn't think the controller was that big. I mean after a few hours, you began to notice it a little bit, but other than it wasn't that bad. I guess it would truly be terrible if you had tiny baseball sized hands. You couldn't even play a game.

Ya, they released it a little too early, but every new system is going to have a few bugs. Only like 3 or 4 percent had problems. This means that 96-97 percent of the consoles are fine. This happens to every console, and don't look now, it will happen to the PS3, and maybe even Nintendo. It just happens when systems are new. Companies rush to put the final touches on the system, and bugs are bound to happen in at least a couple of systems. Yes, x box will probably have more because they had to rush a bit more, but it's not like they are the only ones it has ever happened to.

It is true that all consoles will have bugs/problems but so far the bugs and reports are the absolute worst I have ever seen and heard for a console and that's not going to sit in well for alot of people.
I agree. This will probably hurt Microsoft in the long run, but people are still going to be eager to buy their system and this will just be a lesson for them that they need to double check and take a little more time next go around in about 3-5 years from now.
Oh wow my sarcasm started a wave of arguments about the size.
Look it was satire I'm just saying that japanese usually like their technology microsized. The main reason it failed in Japan is lack of good titles and reports of bugs which will put japanese (or as I call them "intelligent gamers") off of the system. I don't really believe a system is bad due to size...jeez.
Oh and TRM can call me a fanboy as much as he wants...but only him...so help me god if anyone else does I will have his account seized!!! (again...I'm kidding).

Xbox 1 controlls?....Gorilla hands, oh please the controlls were fine and worked perfectly, oh and no hard feelings right Utter, you know I still gots love for nintendo(not to mention I'm getting a DS with Meteos for Xmiss w00t w00t)
hard feelings about what? does anyone actually read my posts fully?
The first x-box controller was just too bulky to schwing around while gaming it wasn't the distance from fingers to buttons that was annoying, cept the black/white.

Well i for one loved the Xbox's first controller.I have big hands and it fits perfectly(if only the buttons were bigger) and that's why i hate the PS2 controller,it's too small for my hands.
Anyway the 360 looks intresting to me,and though i expected PD0 to have waay better graphics it's still an amazing game.I doubt i'll buy one till summer though but i wouldn't mind doing so...
It's really sucks to be forced to get one console over another just because of the size of the controller.
I remember the NES controller-tiny little thing and the SNES one wasn't too much bigger than that one.

Yeah but it just seems easier plus they have like newer games aswell.
Actually since I posted I saw that Gamefly costs just as much as gametap and gamefly seems better.
There's pros and cons for both types.
You can get Japanese games with roms, not to mention english patched ones. It's 'free' but you should delete the rom in 24 hours . I don't think you can play Snatcher with Gametap/fly-I might be wrong but I haven't seen it on either system.
With Gametap/fly you get most of the games you want with out finding a decent emulator and trying to find a good rom(it does suck you find a bad dump).
