Better Gaming... (Score 1)

I have to say that I admire the M$ attempt in this leap into the next generation of entertainment. They are finally seeing what many of us saw long ago... that interactive entertainment will become the de facto for entertainment experience, and movies will be relegated to a niche roll. Don't think it's coincidental that movies will bring in (a good deal) less revenue this year than video games (a first), and that M$ has decided to release a gaming console. What many hardware vendors are failing to realize is that it's not the hardware, it's the games that matter. What offers the best experience... look at gameboy!!! PS2 will capsize due to the fact that games are hard to develop for it (remember Saturn, same thing), Indrema will die quickly because of its less-than-stellar market penetration, and Dreamcast will shortly be outdated because of a lack of Soul Calibur 2 and decent games in general. That leaves X-box and Nintendo (PPC) Cube (M$ vs. Apple anyone?) to fight over who has the best games... And if we remember, M$ and PCs in general succeeded over Macs NOT out of superior hardware, but because PCs had better games... (well, that's not the ONLY reason, but it's a bigger one than most people think.)
