Victor, I wasn't saying that I thought that X-box was going to blow away PS2 or Dreamcast or Nintendo's upcoming Daulphin system as far as sales. I was just saying that it's unlikely to use Rambus memory. Keep in mind that Sony is supposed to lose money on every PS2 sold for the first year and a half of the product. MSFT isn't going to do any better at making money on the hardware of X-Box, but they will make quite a bit of money on the games, which will also most likely be able to be played on many PCs. X-Box should be able to run any PC game written that uses Direct3D, which is considerably a higher number of games than are written to run on any of the console platforms.

My comments about X-Box are purely about the speculation by some on this thread that it would help RMBS in any way. I don't think that it will.
