RE:"Microsoft's Xbox console is "finished before it even got started". So says Sony's PlayStation supremo, Ken Kutaragi, in an interview with the Financial Times today."

That guy is hilarious...
That's about the same thing Mercedes said before the Lexus was launched.

One thing is true. Don't expect the XBOX to be embraced in Japan. It will likely sell as well there as American made cars do. Maybe even heavy tarifs, red tape to get it in...as usual. If we had the same barriers, no one could afford a PS2 in the US...much less a Sony TV.
XBOX will do quite well in the US and other parts of the world.

Hi Jdaasoc; It's hardly surprising that Sony says that Microsoft has already lost the console war, but that doesn't have much to do with who wins the DRAM war.
