I'll agree that they fucked the 360 launch up in a serious way, however, my guess is that the true test of the 360 as a console won't begin until Christmas season next year, and will only be ultimately clear following the launch of both PS3 and Revolution. I personally think the system has a lot going for it, but only time will tell, and that time is certainly not now...

As far as Xbox vs. Ps2, I actually prefer the Xbox. Significantly higher quality games IMO make up for the relative lack of games when compared to the PS2. However, I'd also concede that I'm likely in the minority with this opinion.

It is huge, and ugly.

Xbox is a failure because Microsoft is continually losing money on it. It costs more to produce than they can sell it for.

isnt ps3 going to be the same scenario?

As far as I know both consoles will cost more to produce than they will sell them for (supposedly)

They make money from selling the games, not the consoles.

As well as peripherals, but yes, companies make little to no money, or in some cases (more than just Microsoft), they lose money on the console.

Profit margins on games and especially on peripheral devices are absolutely insane...
