Too much of a good thing is bad for us?
Can new technology harm the console market?
I was thinking yesterday as I lay in bed that how Microsoft have been introducing the latest in video gaming technology to us via the XBox, but how can the XBox be failing so badly?
Microsoft has always been the leaders in technology, at least in the PC software market, but how about the console market? With the XBox they’ve managed to introduce an 8Gb Hard Drive into consoles as well as an inbuilt Broadband modem.
I was wondering how come Sony, Nintendo and Sega have been so successful over-all even though they’re introducing inferior (power-wise) consoles to us, the mass market.

Deadly serious.
I've seen the future, and it's chocka with crosses.
It's either a sign of the Second Coming of Jimmy Christ or an XBOX sales explosion.

Deadly serious.
I've seen the future, and it's chocka with crosses.
It's either a sign of the Second Coming of Jimmy Christ or an XBOX sales explosion.

They have been the leaders in creating complete crap that runs on correctly on random occasions. They have been the leaders in the market.... but never in the actual technology.

As people slowly begin to realize that the PS2 & GameCube are nothing beyond what the Dreamcast was, and they start to see the awesome potential of the XBOX coming through with it's graphical power and built-in online capabilities and hard-drive, the XBOX will gain ground and perhaps even over-take Sony and Nintendo's inferior machines.
