I think Xbox will be Number 1 for this Xmas 2002 presents and it happen with PS2 last year and it might do with Xbox this year. But Microsoft might dropped the price for Xmas. It would be very interesting to see punters rush out buying Xbox before Xmas Day so Number 1 present will be Xbox and Halo, DOA 3, PGR.

Somehow I don't think Sony have any concern over sales!

And let's be honest - Sony aren't the only ones signing up games for exclusivity.

Sony is the reason WWE Raw Is War has been blocked from coming out over here for so long too.

that's just harsh! :|
you can't just advertise a game for months and then just say it's canceled! :|

Sony are clearly jelous that if it goes onto Xbox they won't sell as many PS2s

Sony have signed up the GTA games as exclusives for awhile so GTA3 isn't coming to X-Box now. Not until something like 2004 anyway.

They enjoyed GTA3, but vice city sounded exactly the same as they got bored with GTA

I don't mind the XBox, but I do prefer the GC, and quite frankly, am sick of all the Halo hype - its my opinion.

Perhaps Microsoft would do themselves a lot of favours if, come Christmas, they released a range of older, cheaper games (PGR, DOA3, etc...) similar to Sony's 'Platinum' range...

I'm saying that it's (very) rare seeing a game for a popular console that will still be there, without a break, for nine months. See, shelf lives for games don't last that long. Of course, it could always be re-released for the Xmas "rush", but that's different.
