Will XBOX make its launch date?

Recent reports on both IGN and Gamespot reveal problems yet again in Microsofts manufacturing of the Xbox, delays could be in the "weeks" category. Yet microsoft still holds on to its first-week-in-november launch date.

Hello? 11 weeks to go and you still havn't gotten machine #1 produced yet. And you're facing delays!?!

Anyoen else remember when windows 95 came out... in 1996.

So lets take a poll Who thinks Xbox will make it out before or on the same day as the Gamecube??

I voted no, because I think Nintendo set a realistic date since they know what they're doing. Oh, I'm not implying Microsoft doesn't ...

while i agree that nintendo knows what they are doing, if there is one thing they are notorious for it is for product delays, however, it does look like the GameCube will be out in time, as for the Xbox...only time, and the Mexicans who are making them will tell.

Yeah... I started it a few weeks ago.

I read in an article that they were planning on launching ahead of gamecube (thus the old thread)... But that was before everyone figured out that this is microsoft we're talking about. That they still don't have even one unit produced, and that this is microsoft.

Suddenly, the nightmare of bugs and rushed programs (a.k.a. Windows 98) comes to mind . . . .

The poll ask's a different question.
After Microsoft announced its release date, nintendo decided to release their system 3 days before.

X-Box November 8th, 20+ titles and a dvd drive
Gamecube 3 Days before X-Box, 5 titles.

You forget that the Gamecube is being released in September in Japan... giving Nintendo plenty of time to remove bugs before the US release.

Ummm...just checked IGN.com for the November 5th titles to be released for Gamecube:

Luigi's Mansion
Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II
Pikmin
NBA Courtside 2002
All-Star Baseball 2002
Super Smash Bros. Melee
NFL Quarterback Club 2002
Universal Studios
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2
Batman: Dark Tomorrow
Wave Race: Blue Storm
NHL Hitz 2002 Midway Sports
Extreme G 3 Acclaim Racing
NFL Blitz 2002 Midway Sports
Madden NFL 2002 EA Sports Sports
Eternal Darkness Nintendo Adventure
Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet


The number of titles that require you find "bananas and coins" appears to be only Luigi's Mansion. What was that you were saying about only 5 games?
