Scumbria, <The interesting thing about X-box to me is that it uses off the shelf parts. PS2 uses custom hardware which has a much longer turnaround time.> I completely agree with you and have posted on the same lines a while back. IMHO, Sony's edge is in time to market. I don't have much doubt that Sony is establishing a platform that it plans to build off and will build as much momentum as it can before X-box kicks in. Sony understands the consumer business as well as the next guy so I think it is not going to be easy for Microsoft to dethrone the king. Chuck
