They talked about the relationship between their companies and how much EA influenced the design and schematics of the X-Box.
Actually according to MS, the design of the x-box\\controller was dependant of the want of the consumers who were tested by MS through about 500 families (or so MS said), but EA did have a part in the development of x-box... how extensive that input went is a guess only you and I can make and not assert. Hell, EA\'s input could have stretched as far as including 2 analog sticks on the controller and that\'s something you just can\'t be sure of, so the point you\'re making is pretty moot from the get-go.
BTW, You may not be too knowledgeable about the history of a lot of companies. Still I have to ask. How many games does EA traditionally release to ONE console? It hardly ever happens. EA is a third party developer because they know that is where the money is. They inferencially announce that they combine the PS2 and X-box games for Gamecube\'s works. LMAO
Well, you can infer what you want about titles being released for both NGC\\X-Box, but the fact is, you don\'t have any solid numbers, but according to IGN, the announced titles for both the NGC and the X-Box from EA is no more then 7 a piece totaling 14 games in development. However, that may seem like a lot, it is HEAVILY dwarfed by the numbers reported by EA for their PS2 faction and I quote from videogames.com...
Additionally, the company expects to further support the PlayStation 2 with five products in Q4 and approximately 25 games for the console in the upcoming fiscal year.

That\'s 30 games to 14. At least the facts I have are solid for now, but if you can show me a link with both NGC\'s and X-Box\'s EA numbers, I\'d be more then happy to change my statement.
Sega said that they will support NGC and X-Box.
Correct, they said they will support them, but no games, as of yet, have been announced. Thus, no official announcements for support have been made.
YAMAUCHI commented on MS.Thats pretty much a whole differetnt story now.
Not true. In any corporation, if you want something done, you always come to one man. Yamauhi is that man and what he says goes. If he tells Square to go **** themselves, that basically says Square won\'t be developing for the NGC, no matter what any board of directors says.
-On a more personal note, Yamauchi looks like an older version of this huge dork I used to go to High School with... it\'s pretty hilarious, the similarities that is, not the news.
Can you give me a link where is says Crazi Taxi is a work for PS2?
I can give you 6 links, but IGN seems to be the most trusted...
