slick's right. the xbox is going to rock. it's going to be the first system out with a graphics card more powerful than the best PC card out at the same time (since PC's had hardward accelarated graphics routines that is).
the xbox system itself is being sold for cheaper than it's worth, just so they can claim a hugh portion of the gaming market. kinda like giving away IE to put out netscape. don't underestimate microsoft! the system is easy to develop for and they have a shitload of developers working on it already.
however, it an attempt to make sure the public knows the xbox is not a PC, they won't be releasing a mouse / key*********bo for it. this means that FPS's are still going to be better on the PC. i'll kick anyone's ass in UT or a similar game if they're using a joypad and i'm using a mouse / key*********bo.
on the otherhand, the ps2 and gt3 fucking rock as well. i might get a ps2 just for that game alone. i'll never get an xbox though, cuz i own a PC already and games like halo and the likes will probably come out on the PC later on anyway... and i hate FPS games using a joypad.
