It's been said from day one that X-Box will not play PC games.

Are you aware of any specific reasons technically, that would disallow the X-box from playing PC games as well? Perhaps they are steering clear of a possible cannibalization of PC gaming? Just curious..... TIA

Cordially,

Thunder

This makes me extremely interested in how it all will be priced. There is no doubt, that MSFT has to fund a lot of cheap hardware, if they want X-box to become a success, and collect a lot of royalties, which could make the games expensive.

But, on the other hand, there have been even companies giving PCs away.

Maybe the X-box is the real successor of Windows 98 in terms of income...
