That's up to you to decide. Is the X-Box really that special or is it just a mini PC that just uses advanced PC graphics?

People are looking at this pc thing all wrong, basically all of the consoles since dreamcast are basically mini pc's its just the association of the xbox's company microsfot that makes it seem more so.
After all consoel games are made using pc's, so its logic that to get the best performance you make it easy for makers to make games for your system.

That maybe so, but at least consoles in the past have retained some distinction. All the X-bOX market will be plagued by FPS and sad Microsft games like 'Age of Empires'
different consoles suit different people, xbox has a hell of a lot of wicked games coming out for it, it does have a high nubmer of fps due for release, but this is because they are targetign a weak point software wise on the ps2. Apart from Timesplitters, the controls for any ps2 fps are terrible, plus when you play Halo you will realise how bad ps2controls are for certain games. Ps2 is a pc of sorts, and if you look at the future sony has for it (including release of monitor, keyobard mouse hard drive etc) its obvious that the only console not trying to be the mystical everything is Gamecube.
What about Half-Life? Red Faction? Quake????
They all have poor controls, especially Red Faction, which would of been such a good game idf only they has put more effort into the control system
Point taken, but what good is an accesible control system if you are using the bulkiest, most pathetic controller ever to use it?
How many PCs have microsoft made.. so far i dont think they have made any..

Good point, and RM the xbox control isn't that big, its not far off from the dreamcast one.

But at least the buttons on the Dreamcast pad were spaced out, on the XBOX pad they are squashed together
