first, after the presentation of the PS3, Microsoft claimed their presentation didnt look that good cause the Xbox360s only ran at one third their actual speed.
now, it seems those games didnt even run on xbox360s at all
A pair of Apple Powermac G5 systems were actually running the Xbox 360 demos, not the 360 console. The consoles in the kiosks weren't actually running, they were just for show - now you know why all the controllers were wired.
jesus :icon19:
im convinced of the power of the xbox360, dont get me wrong, but fuck, MS is really screwing this whole thing up innit
i thought this was common knowledge... you do realise that the dual g5s, though are much better at video encoding and alike... don't have the 3d graphic power of the xbox 360?
Must be a let-down that they weren't running the XBox 360 for those who were there, but if it's more powerful than the G5 at games then the real thing would only look and run better, won't it?

And they're planning on an early 2006 release? They'd better hurry up then.
I can understand that if their XBox 360 isn't in a fully functional state they'd rather demo it using a 100% reliable stable system and E3 should always be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to new hardware. Lots of smoke and mirrors there, not just from the MS camp.
I wouldn't start doubting about the XBox 360 after hearing this sort of news. It's not completely unexpected. MS knows how high the stakes are for this generation of consoles and they know they can't afford to screw this up.

They already have the controller for it so im sold no matter what.
Lol.
You have absolutely no concept of marketing...
*press release*
REALISTIC BEARD PHYSICS HIT XBOX 360!
While this has absolutely no impact on any games at the moment, due to our main characters all being clean shaven, the up and coming title "ZZTOP in the land of the Overgrown Minge" is set to sell millions, just to Odium!
