From the moment I heard about microsft making a console, I laughed my ass off. And nothing I've heard has impressed me since. The last thing I heard was that it's the size of a PC. How dare they call it a console!

I think it's going to topple the PS2.  It's going to be great.

Yeah, it might topple the PS2 in stats, but is it gonna be able to stand up to the likes of PS2, Nintendo, when it comes to games.  Cuz it aint gonna be S**T with out the games to back it up.....What about the games?.........

No Games???
Over ten major game companies have announced that they are doing games.
Microsoft has announced that they plan to have over 50 titles available when the console ships. This is more than PS one or two ever had. Microsoft may not be my favorite company, but they know how to do something successfully.

Actually, many PC gamers are quite distraught about the Xbox as it's taking away a lot of the PC games that were in production.  (Such as Halo)  I don't think they'll be suffering for games.  MS has taught us a thing or two about monopolies... perhaps this is their next frontier?
