For like 2 years the only decent game on the Xbox was Halo. Up until the last few months if you asked any Xbox freak why you should buy an Xbox, their first and sometimes only reason is because you can play Halo. Finally after several years they are starting to get other good games like Burnout 3, that star wars game, Fable, etc. I've always had absolutely no interest in the Xbox, but with a few of the new games coming out, I'm interested enough to go buy one in the next few weeks. But the real reason I'm buying it is so I can put in a mod-chip and use it as a media server. My DVD players got fried in a storm, so I've been having to watch movies on my computer for a year or so. It will be nice to watch them on a real TV again. They key is still the games, and MS is going to have to do a much better job with the Xbox 2 than the did with the first one.

Honestly, I think Microsoft can make people wanna die to have a Xbox2 and I'm starting to think that Nintendo and Sony will lose a considerable market share in the next generation consoles.</p> Like Netaku said, it all depends on how you generate interest and hype.

Sony won out because it got the better games over N64 and it was easier to pirate CDs than cartridges. Too bad the Dreamcast was the greatest console ever made.

It all depends on if they can generate enough interest and hype. Yeah, it worked for Sony with the PS2 but humorously enough, it failed for Sega twice.

I'm going to wait until all three are released (or at least until screenshots and game lists are shown) before making my decision anyway, as I'm sure most people will.
