You can say that the xbox is going to be a failure and you are sure entitled to your opinion.
However its more of a mere wish than an opinion. This is my opinion.
Xbox is going to do just fine in 2002. Its going to be Sony\'s only competition. Its going to do great in 2002 and I think we see evidence of that already.
Honestly, I am a lot more excited about xbox than I am about PS2, and we can see already that hardware and ease of use of that hardware is coming out with some awesome games.
At the end of 2002, xbox will be looking really great and broadband will be adopted more as well. Its a great time to be a gamer and things by Christmas 2002 will be heating up bigtime.
