Why are microsoft entering the console market with their x-box apart from for money? What new things are they going to bring to the console world? Absolutely nothing? In reality the x-box may destroy console gaming altogether if it sells well enough.

A large computer firm like microsoft has 'unlimited' financial resources and should be able to produce a very good console. So why do I get the feeling that Microsoft could turn consoles into pc's? Consoles should be about the games and the way the market is going its not likely to be this way for very long. Microsoft should stick to what they are best at and not try to monopolise this industry as well.

The death of consoles will soon be upon us! :)

As long as Microsoft don't branch out into books, my world will continue.

I dont hate Microsoft, I think Gates is a tyrannical Meglomaniac, but I like my PC, I like the PC Games, I like the Net.

I'll wait to see what the X-Box is like before I make my decision.
