Lets face it. Microsoft are the largest and richest company in the world, why bother ruining the games console market by making a small PC and calling it a games console.
In my opinion that is all it is, Okay, fair enough we can't stop him from making it, but with another games console out, parants are gonna be crazy, fed up with their kids saying 'I want an X-Box, a PS2 and a Gamecube for christmas!'
Why put more stress on the game developers, there are only a number of developers and with them all signing contracts to only create games for a certain company how the hell are the kids who own N64's gonna get good games if Rareware and Acclaim have signed contracts for X-Box?
The whole console wars is getting out of control and that is NOT good!!!
Thankyou for your time and please think about what I have said.

Not many kids saw adverts for Dreamcast's during CD:UK during the lead up to Christmas...
In fact, no kids did.
But it still sold a hellava lot.

Thats absolute rubbish pb! read my Y-Box topics for reasons!
The more the war gets out of control, the more exciting:D
Console wars out of control? As it stands, Sony's might of advertising (and Sega's lack of same) have left it with one console at the moment. To have another player such as Microsoft is good and will keep console prices down as well as software.
Nintendo want to appeal to the general gamers, where as Sony and Microsoft will battle for the multi-media section of the gaming public. Competition is healthy and Sony need a big player like Microsoft to compete against.
The X-box as a console PC? Not really, it's just another console with the Microsoft brand. Besides, Microsoft don't make PCs they make software.
