Trust me, PGR2 is amazing, online it's gotta be the most fun game on live at the moment, absolute quality, give it a try, you won't regret it!

Damn.
Probably give it a miss then. Will have to settle with Counter Strike.

Rainbow Six 3 has a lot of the planning aspects removed, you can only choose your own equipment, although this does influence the rest of your teams choice. that's it really.
the game is very good on single player - but for multiplayer it is a dream come true.

Bit old though, isn't it? Not exactly a brilliant release. I may get it when I get Live some time in the future.

Admittedly worth considering. What are the tactical elements like? Picking your team and mission plan was all I enjoyed about the original.

Didn't enjoy the first whatsoever and 1080 Avalanche should fill my snowboarding needs - looks great fun, with good racing and tricks and has received some brilliant reviews.
> KOTOR if you don't have it. Best RPG of the year.
Agreed. But I have it. :D
Anything else? I'm looking for some top-end releases that are really good fun - on GameCube I've got Viewtiful Joe, Mario Kart, F-Zero and Rebel Strike recently. What on the Xbox matches that kind of quality?

No it wont!
It may cost a few million for advertisment campaigns and so on, but development cost of the next console wont be anywhere near £1,000,000.
After all, if it did cost that much to mix and match hardware, do you think PC manufacturers would still be in with a job?

£3 billion is not an insignificant amount. But it will cost them £100's of millions to develop the GC 2. I don't want Ninty to go bankrupt, and I don't think they will soon. But it could happen if they don't get their finger out and make some money soon. From the launch of the Saturn to the end of Sega in the hardware market only took 6 or so years.

From the reuters source you quoted:
"The videogame veteran [Nintendo], which analysts often criticise as being reluctant to use its huge cash holdings..."
I don't think they're going bankrupt in the foreseeable future.

PGR 2. The best racer ever.
Counter Strike. The most popular online game ever, not to mention a damn fine shooter.
Rainbow Six 3. The game SOCOM wants to be. Also apparently the mutts nuts online.
Amped 2. Looks more appealing to me than 1080 Avalanche.
KOTOR if you don't have it. Best RPG of the year.
What sort of games do you like and want Mav? There is only two areas where the Xbox is weak - platformers and strategy games (which is a null point as all consoles are).

Games that are probably too interesting for you.
What games are worth getting for Xbox this Christmas, then?
