    There is a massive section in my local newspaper on this today. M$ claim by 2006, xbox will have close to 40% of the market, while PS2 will have 50%.

    While I own a PS2, I look at games like Forza Racing on the xbox and it's competition like this that we desperately need. Games like Gran Turismo has been sitting at the top for too long.

      Yeah i had my doubts about Forza, but after buying GT4 and Forza I will never play GT4 again. It seems like almost no effort whatsoever was put into it, besides adding more cars and tracks. It plays exactly like GT1, which is extremely boring and tedious. I'm not sure why PS2 is so popular, as it seems like most of the games that come out for it are crap, or out on another system with better graphics. The only PS2 games i've bought since i got my xbox and gabecube were Katamary darmacy and GT4.

      The statistical error.

      Actually, this is marketshare, i.e. percentage of all consoles sold in a given timespan. You'd count the same as three different people buying one console each.

    It's understandable how you can despise a media personality or a broadcast channel but how can you despise hardware?

    Your not forced to buy it, to use it, to look at or to even consider it. It's just a collection of plastic and circuitry.

    I was looking at Rare's newest offering for the X-Box and realized it isjust a rehash of Conker's Bad Fur Day. Nothing against conker, but can't Rare at least put him in a new adventure instead of just prettying up an older game?
    Wow, you're pretty clever. I never thought of that!

    (You realize it was announced as remake, right? The new stuff is the extensive multiplayer mode.)

    Xenon is the internal codename for the project. All the released/leaked photos so far show the name as Xbox 360 and the marketing materials heavily feature circles. If it's not called Xbox 360, I'll eat my wavebird controller.
