yeah but I don't like companys that do stuff like that, if your not ready to anounce something just don't say anything at all. Theres no need to lie, MS could have simply had someone tell the magazines that we can't conferm or deny either way. That way the magazines & the gamers would be happy because it would have kept everyone guessing as to wether or not the rumours were ture. When it comes to game it annoys the c*** out of me when a company gives themselfs a stupid time frame to make there game then it ends up being put back like 3 times. I'd rather they just say somthing like it will take 3 - 4 years to make & then everyone will be shocked & happy when it comes out early. That way there giving themselfs a nice timeframe to work out any problems that may arrise & the people that are waiting for the game won't loose interest due to the constant delays. A fine example of that would be Alen Wake I know so many people on xbox live that were originally going top buy it but lost interest because of all the delays.
As for MS I just don't like them, I only own an xbox for halo, I don't like the fact that they keep trying to monopolise the market. They domonate the PC indestry & now they trying to controle the gaming industry as well, I won't forgive them (or Square Enix for allowing it) for buying out Square Enix. After They bought Square Enix they disolve the sound section of the company, that relly p***ed me off. Nobuo Yamatsu's music is just as much a part of Final Fantasy as the characters & story, but they go & fire him what a joke. He's part of the reason FF is such an epic game series & that's how they thank him, no wonder why some of the creaters of FF left to found Mistwalker. Although Microsoft have controle of Mistwalker as well, it's against the law to monopolise the market yet MS are allowed to do it anyway. THAT is why I just don't like them & ity's also part of the reason I never bought an original xbox. Between my thoughts of them monopolising & my anger at Saga's Bankruptsy is the reason I never have & never will buy an original xbox. With the halo series coming to an end as Bungie is no long making the halo game's, unless the new company responsable for creating halo are able to do it justice I doubt I'll be getting the next xbox console.
