"What Xbox game are you looking forward to playing that is due in 2002? It\'s a rhetorical question. There are virtually no Xbox games announced for 2002 . . . ut gamers buy consoles based on future potential. I can\'t tell you how many gamers bought a PS2 simply because they know the next Final Fantasy game is coming out for PS2 next year."

This is a crucial point, because the Xbox was originally touted as the platform for PC developers who wanted to migrate to console titles with a minimum learning curve. "Clearly the Xbox has a lot of advantages for developers," acknowledges Levine. "That\'s no secret. GameCube is relatively easy to develop for ... PS2 is a bear to develop for, but can you say \'installed base\' and \'backwards compatible\' and \'zillions of AAA franchises\'?"

A few extras = better graphics and 6 hrs of extra gameplay

Mmm. You\'re thinking of Silent Hill 2, which has been officially announced and reported has an additional 6 hrs of gameplay (this figure could obviously be bloated for publicity purposes). DMC was announced as one of the major PS2 exclusives during E3 (both DMC and MGS2 were delcared exclusive for 6 months to 1 year, and even then that doesn\'t mean they\'re going to be ported), and is unlikely to be ported as Capcom seems to be taking a 1 horror franchise per system approach to multiconsole development.

Oops, yes, sorry, my mistake.
