For some reason, I just can't hate that little piece of wire ! Actually, its about the only thing I actually do like about microsoft products, it makes great boredom relief. *right click* *animate* *right click* *animate* and so on....:)
Trust me, I have to code for the damn thing, it may have a pretty purple box, but on the inside its just plain ugly. Not in a "we can get better" kind of way, but more of a "by the time we have figured out to make the ps2 sing, the Xbox will have blown it completely out of the water" kind of way.
Its just too difficuly to code for, its not very fast, bugger all video ram, a truly shitty sound chip (want to see two ps1 sound chips sandwiched together ? its the ps2's worst feature), and the development tools are, well, complete shite.
As a developer, I can assure you, as far a graphics go, nothing will beat/equal the Xbox, save a PC with a geForce III ( which is basically what the xBox is )

- This is probably not the opinion of my employer, but it is definately the opinion of a large chunk of my co-workers;)
