Everyone seems to be up in arms about whether the xbox can compete with the ps2 when it comes to hardware. The main reason that the xbox will fail to defeat or even compete in the console gaming market is the sole fact that Microsoft is releasing its console way to late in the game against industry titans Sega, Sony and Nintendo. Not to mention the fact that M$ has no strong third party support to back the xbox. We sure as hell wont see Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid on the XBox, or any Rare titles, or Phantasy Star Online all of which are major reasons for owning a PS2, Dolphin or Dreamcast. I know m$ fans, if there are any reading this, will recall the Gates statement reverbing all of his conquests after coming into a market late. But the xbox hardware will be dated severely when it is finally released not to mention that the PS2, Dreamcast, and Dolphin will already hold a strong library of software and already have gobbled up most of the powerhouse second party support. If M$ wants to make a mark in the console market it should concentrate its efforts on establishing a solid development relationship with one of the game developers, many if possible.
Am I the only one who is sick and tired of tomb raider...i mean the game was ok 4 years ago when it came out, but if im that damn hard up to see some rendered boobies I'll play dead or alive 2. Eidos give up on the tomb raider franchise it just is plain old anymore.

Am I the only one who thinks this is some shit? Current technology cant support that kind of speeds yet.
