Last week the XBox overtook the Cube in sales in GB. Now there are (only) 3000 more XBoxes around than Cubes. This is due to the excellent offer the XBox has (2 games for free).
Nintendo have to cut prices and/0r add a free killer game, like they did with the Mario/Goldeneye N64s.
They have to do it before Christmas, or else they'll take a pounding.

What, more expensive than a PS2, which costs more?

In all honesty, there's nothing that the X-Box can do that the GameCube can't that interests me. I certainly wouldn't say no to one, but to me, it's the most expensive console out there.
We all have our opinions.

"And the least said about the controller the better"
I see. And why should it be banned? Because it isn't made by Nintendo?

Exactly.
And thats why Microsoft will rule the gaming industry eventually.
Even if everyone hated it, they'd just pay off developers to make games for it.

I think Bill is willing to spend whatever it takes to get a foothold in the loungeroom. I think X-Box's main function is to set up a future market for X-Box 2, 3, 3.1, etc.
How concerned are those of you that own an X-Box about its replacement following so closely after the first machine? Traditionally when the new toy arrives support for the old one dries up pretty quickly - playstation 1 has fared a little better but had a MUCH larger installed user base.
I'm still not sure whether to pick up an X-Box dirt cheap next year or to just hold out for the sequel.
