First of all i was determined that i was going to buy an xbox in march, now its April and iam not really sure of the future, and wether xbox is going to survive.
In a large scale way, wether the xbox will keep up is very much going to be dependant on price.
In a world where ps2 launched at £300, it seems odd that nearly everyone on these forums has moaned at some time or another about the cost of xbox. This is partly casued by the forthcomming Nintendo gamecube which in this war is set to 'shake things up' as it were, especailly considering difference in price.
Owning a U.S xbox was my first venture into the world of xbox, and i loved it played it to death and then promptly sold my u.s machine with the intention of gettign a uk one on launch, but now iam left with a dilema as i have found the Gamecube quite attractive.
Rumours are already around the internet (and even teletext digitiser) that gamecube will reduce in price if sony reduces price of ps2, which does make me wonder if xbox can keep up that combined with the fact that compared to the other two consoles it seems that xbox has almost half of the games on uk release. I hope that xbox makes more of a impact soon, as otherwise its under serious threat from nintendo. Especially when i realised the other day i could get a Gamecube, Portable 5" screen and battery pack for price of a xbox.

As an almost unassailable market leader, quite a bit I reckon.
I think basically there will be almost a need to own at least two of the consoles - the question is, which two?
Personally, I still see the PS2 as a must-have at the moment. So the choice is, Xbox or Gamecube - and that largely depends on your favourite types of game. I chose Xbox.

Get an XBox. You're paying for quality.

Get PS2/Gamecube.
Simple as that.
