<<Keep in mind that Sony is supposed to lose money on every PS2 sold for the first year and a half of the product. >> Correct. they'll make money on the downloaded games and other ongoing services, ( or so says the bus plan!). <<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. >> Lots of "shoulds" and "most likely's" there! I guess it really is a wait and see game for the x-box. An 18 month wait, at least. It's been many, many years since msft came out with a new product. Let's wait and see how they do with this new product! Victor
