But I do wonder how Microsoft is going to handle being a year late relative to the launch of PS2 in America. 2 or 3 years from now, it will not be an issue. Windows was late relative to Mac or OS2. Joe

Tench, But I do wonder how Microsoft is going to handle being a year late relative to the launch of PS2 in America. One other wrinkle/issue involves a discussion of royalties. I've heard recently that the X-Box WILL have a royalty structure. It will be interesting to see whether this starts some competition with the other boxmakers. -Scot

Tench - RE: "But I do wonder how Microsoft is going to handle being a year late relative to the launch of PS2 in America." I wonder how Sony is going to handle being a year late relative to the launch of Dreamcast in America. Sony should do fine. If X-Box has great features and a good variety of good games it should also do fine.
