With Sega out of the picture what now for the console market?...
Sony with their PS2 are currently the only runners, and will be until the end of 2001 at least...
Will Sony use this time to ensure complete dominance?
Will they get complacent and waste this time, allowing the GC and X-Box a bumper release?
What will happen between now and the GC/X-Box release?

I was just making a point that it's on it's own for now.
I agree pb.
Also, tcook, you think you're perfectly unbiased do you??
LOL!!
Shut up.

The PS2 is in it's own yes, as the only powerful console to even succeed. But the PS2 hasn't succeded at all, the DC has shown the power of next generation harware of showing games in nice 3D environments. Sony hasn't even done their job properly yet, if they hadpushed back the release date that would leave a small gap between the GameCube and PS2, it gives enough time for Sony to take over, but they haven't done their plans properly yet. Instead they have rushed it out too early to get it on dead line the pressure's on Sony to bring it out before the GC.
They are equally comparable, but now PS2 is in a 1 man race at the moment, the N64 just hangs behind and stays on just like the SNES, it plays games good.

There's always one that can't spot sarcasm isn't there?!

Another Sony zealot. You obviously have your head stuck so far up your own a s s that you cant give ANYTHING else the recognition it deserve's.
I'd say Sega have a game to rival (if not beat) the trash so far released on the PS2.

1) I dont think that the PS2 has anywhere near the amount of games released for it as the DC. Oh sorry only if you include the usual PS1 rubbish.
2) How can Sony support another console when they dont develope any games???? Maybe finacially yes, but why would they do that?

So the PS2 can process more polygons that the X-box or Gamecube?
I think your head is dissapearing furthur.
You just listen to the Sony "spin" and form your opinion on their statements.

Yep, Sony must be laughing. Sega haven't ever produced any decent games for their console, and if they stop production, which all the highly trusted internet sites are citing, then all the supply of Dreamcasts in the shops and warehouses will have to go back and be incinerated. Then everyone will sell their Dreamcasts and buy PS2s because there are so many more games to choose from on the PS2 and Sony has no plans to support another console, even a new one of it's own, in the next 20 years.
Plus all the important games people swear that the PS2 is the best console ever and cite the amazing amount of polygons as proof that the machine can beat any other, especially the ones that haven't entered mass-production yet.
So the PS2 must be in a one-horse race according to all the facts.

I think the chances are very good that if the current news proves valid, and the DC stops production in March, then XBox and Gamecube are going to be going hell for leather to get their consoles ready. A big task, but possible. If they don't have any consoles ready by then, Sony are going to have their next UK shipment ready, and stand an excellent chance of cornering the market for the next 6 months thereafter.
If Sony know their marketplace, and we cannot really doubt it, then expect to see some triple A class games hit these shores at the end of March for the PS2, expect to see clamouring queues of people trying to get their hands on them, and expect to see Microsoft and Nintendo shouting at their manufacturers trying to get them to shift up a couple of gears before Sony become the major name in gaming and pull the rug out from under everyone else's feet. (And the lion's share of the gaming industry's profits.)
