ok, we all know what xbox 2 is "supposedly" capable of:
1. Xbox Live (maybe a new version of it)
2. Backwards Compatibility (we're not sure if it IS capable of it or not, but we do not it is a smart investment for Microsoft to make)
3. Playing pc games (its build like a computer... so it should be able to play pc games)
4. Playing DVDs (Xbox did it, why not Xbox 2?)
5. Playing music (xbox..................... Xbox 2?)
6. Hard Drive (Again, Xbox did it, why not xbox 2?)
7. Playing Nintendo - created games (since nintendo needs to be back as a contender, and microsoft needs more sales in Japan.
Now let's look at what recent reports, mainly from IGN, state that Xbox 2 will have:
1. No mention of Xbox Live, but thats taken as granted.
2. No Backwards compatibility (remember, these ARE just rumors, but if microsoft does this... their damn stupid)
3. Possibly and likely will play pc games (good!)
4. Playin DVDs taken for granted
5. Playin Music taken for granted
6. No hard drive (what the hell?!?)
7. And still no word on Nintendo and Microsoft.
So, heres what I say... either we oughtta kick some serius ass in IGN, or microsoft is headin in the wrong direction.
