The Xbox doesn\'t have anything on it to attract that audience right now...that and the competition is strong and set at a lower price.
If games like Project Ego, Panzer Dragoon, Brute Force, Unreal Championship, Duality, Doom 3, Enclave, Breed, Elderscrolls, etc live up to their hype it\'s sure to attract a new wave of gamers...in Europe and the US anyway. (That and a lower price in Europe, it\'s ridiculous right now.)
I don\'t see anything that would impact Japan though...
By the 2002 Holiday season, all the above will be out. If these don\'t effect sales, nothing will.
I guess there\'s nothing else to do but wait and see, and enjoy what I have right now. (thinks of JSRF:D, love that game)
