Go there and check the site out, it seems they are pretty confident in EA. Maybe EA will produce something a bit more pleasing than FIFA 2001 PS2, as they will certainly have the better Dev tools with Microsoft's machine!
Personally, I cannot wait for Bill's box of tricks. After feeling 'slightly' disappointed by Sega's announcements regarding the state of Dreamcast, I think the XBox will be a sound investment. If you just look at some of the early video sequences it's clear to see why they've over 200 developement teams working with them!
Online gaming will be lag free, and we may just see the first ever decent race controller in the form of Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback, or something similar - I'm fed up of paying £30 or £40 for a piece of plastic that merely rumbles!
XBox won't fail, although we don't know that much about it in terms of...well, we don't know much about it...and a £500million advertising spree cannot really deter people from buying the Box.
I think Sony has become scared - when it entered the market back in 1995 it was a risk. They've now got 90% of the (non-handheld) console market under their belt just five years on. I think Microsoft will 'do a Sony' but they won't mess up their launch, any of their games and their advertising - not that Sony have bad advertising as such - it's just I don't want to associate a next-gen console with a talking duck in a shirt!
Anyways, XBox has a year to deter people from getting PS2 - I think they'll make the big time...
