Oh god, there are some pathetic posts in here. The videogame industry is a business, first and foremost--Even Nintendo hasn't been in it "for love of the game" recently. Please--don't romanticize this *industry* anymore. This playground brings in more a year than Hollywood. Come on people--Sony did more damage to this industry than Microsoft. And if you can't see that, you've had the proverbial wool pulled over your eyes.
So far as I'm concerned, there are probably two companies out there that still romantic: Sega and Capcom. 'Nuff said.

I never thought that i would own any M$ products, i realy loathe windows, etc., BUT, X-Box is a winner IMO. ive had it for about a month now and love it. Halo is dope, Live is great. Loving the machine, so what is ugly.

gonzie boy, nobody said anything about the 'love of the game', but basically that is what nintendo represents. when someone thinks nintendo, they think video games. nintendo knows this and keeps it true by delivering quality video gaming.
you are right that sony tarnished the console gaming industry, but microsoft will eventually do the biggest damage.
what ticks me off about xbox is the fact that xbox live isn't free.
monopoly is the key word here. regardless of how cool the xbox is, it's all bs to me.
gonz, i haven't a slightest clue what you mean by romance, but i believe nintendo is a quality company. it's just sad that companies like rare have given into ms.

It's the curse of 3DO. American game systems will never be profitable (or as) thier japanese counterparts. Western technology relies to much on "bang" and not the "utilization."

Microsoft's Xbox is less about a gaming console (in their long-run idea) than people think. Microsoft, Apple, Sony, 3Com, etc. are all trying to get their devices in the living room (Microsoft's Xbox, Apple's Digital Hub Strategy, Sony's Memory Stick and Playstation, 3Com's failed Audrey).
If they get Xbox's in the living room, the next generation ones will replace Tivo, DVD players, etc... With digital televisions, computer graphics will be on your big ass tv screen...
The desktop machine will be dead in homes in ten years with wireless, digital televsion and full featured portable machines like laptops, tablets and palm phones.
