Re:PS2, X-Box, and Gamecube (oh my). (Score 1)

I like your analysis, Smack, it's very astute. X-Box isn't going to have many games geared toward adults at launch. Halo, while a shoot-em-up, is sci-fi, and so doesn't really equate in the minds of adults with the violent acts we've been hearing about. Munch's Odyssee and THPS2x are teen games; I remember playing Abe's Odyssee a couple years back. Throw in the sports series already on the shelves, and a racing game and a party game, (not sure what they're called) and you have a system that appears to be innocent to the parents. The main problem that will probably influence sales to your expectations is that most stores won't be selling the units alone, but rather bundled with an extra controller and a game or two. The parents are still getting a slight deal with the bundle, but a $450 price tag is gonna turn them off real quick.
