Funky, I've posted too damn many rants on why the XBox is a terrible console, and I'm just not up to repeating myself again. If you want good reasons, go read Iluvatar's HUGE post series on the "XBox Suxxors" thread. Nintendo has been around for over twenty years, and Microsoft's poorly fashioned "NeoGeo 2" isn't going to make even the slightest dent in the big N's armor. They have conquered almost every other gaming console that has challenged them (aside from PSOne, but they survived the onslaught nevertheless) and XBox is absolutely no different. Microsoft will be sitting right alongside Atari, 3DO and Sega at their next "Lost Consoles Anonymous" meeting, and a few impressive titles like Halo and Morrowind aren't going to change that.
