It seems to me that a lot of the big hitters are shying away from the lacklustre Xbox because of the lack of units sold and the number of videogames they can realistically shift.
Example:
GTA4 ps2 exclusive
Toca was supposed to be Xbox as well, no news on whether it will ever come out on MS console. PS2 only at the moment.
Tomb Raider was supposed to be dual format as well now it is PS2 exclusive.
Wreckless new version for PS2 where you can run over padestrians, that company obviously realised where the real money is.
Malice at first a Xbox exclusive now on PS2 as well.
These are examples of how market forces work and developers can not afford to sell titles to niche markets like Xbox. This is why a franchise like Abe got it so wrong going Xbox exclusive a once popular brand that was always in the top 10 is no-where to be seen, did it even launch.
PS2 sales for last month 58,000 = 50% of the videogames sold
Gamecube = 36,000
Xbox = 22,000
As I said market forces rule.

The game is coming out next month. Period.

Nope.

The GTA *Franchise* is a PS2 exclusive until 2004, thats because Sony Signed a deal to keep it on their console.

Nope you idiot. Oddworld Confronted Microsoft about making a new console, then they scrapped the PS2 as it was'nt what they needed for the game, they could'nt put as many characters on the screen without it slowing down, mistake? Its in 10th place in the charts and got around 8/9 out of 10 in reviews.
From what it looks like any game that is'nt on the PS2 is crap in your opinion.

I think you will find you are the one with facts problems.
1) I asked the bloke at Game the biggest videogame retailer in the UK and he said that the was no sign of an Xbox Toca game.
2) Tomb Raider is one of the biggest franchises in history (who is gonna buy it what a stupid reply).
3) Wreckless was an Xbox exclusive div.
4) GTA4 is a PS2 exclusive (do you even have vidoegames where you come from).
5) Munch Oddysees looked good on PS2 and indeed early footage was infact taken directly from the PS2 early code. It was only that MS paid Lorne Lanning a lot of money to make it a Xbox exclusive that they jumped ship what a mistake that proved to be.
PS2 is the format of choice and that facts are there for people that want to get there head out of the sand and wake up to the real world of videogaming.

This is why PS2 will do so well, it was released 2 years earlier so more people brought it because it was the first 128 bit console, dreamcast didnt have the support after saturn.
With so many people having an xbox the developer will go for ps2, then maybe the others.
It would be very unusual for a compny to develop only for xbox or GC, nintendo not included.
Xbox is the N64 only in the 128bit era, does this mean Xbox 2 will be really small easy to develop for, well at the rate its going only another year or so to find out.

Yes Munchs Oddysee came out on the xbox a long time ago. Lorne Lanning (the designer of Abe) said they moved from the PS2 to the Xbox as the PS2 development enviroment was poor for what they wanted to create.
1. Get your facts right.
2. Find out REAL information before you say it
3. Its obvious your a PS2 fanboy.
