RE: <Games on the consoles have a different feel than games on the PC>

Tenchusatsu,

Escellent point! Maybe the reason that PC games will not be a drop in to the Xbox isn't technical at all but genre based. Can you imagine trying to play something like Diablo or Everquest which are largely mouse based on a playstation like controller. Yikes!... Then again an Xbox could have a keyboard and a mouse, and in fact would almost have to if the XBox was to be an effective internet device. So maybe both game genres (joystick/console controller and mouse/keyboard) could co-exist. It would raise costs though (or create a lucrative XBox peripherals market). It sure is going to be interesting to watch this unfold.

Thanks,

Epinephrine
