I think the Megadrive wins hands down.
The Megadrive is made by Sega, a world renowned figure in the gaming industry, who not only have a half decent track record of producing great consoles, but a great track record of developing games.
Plus it has a HUGE back catalogue of titles, it's easy to use, it's smaller, lighter (almost portable!), and all your mates at one time or another will admit to owning one at one time or another.
The X-Box isn't, doesn't, isn't, isn't, isn't and they won't.
Megadrive - The Future of Gaming
FantasyMeister - Not operating within normal parameters.

You've obviously never tried this. They are very hard to find!
Point taken though, it doesn't matter. Most of the decent MD games had extra ports in the cart - Hah! Another thing xbox can't do!
Sadly though, I think the X-box will sell more then the MD in the coming years, laregly due to greater developer support and better marketing.

I got my MEGADRIVE (yep, I got one before all of you I bet) this morning, and it is truely great. Play Aladian, and laugh at Bill Gates.
-zell100, missing the point nearly as much as Sniper.
Ah! But the megadrive has only 2 ports.
Plus I never had any problems with the DVD player or internet connection on my Megadrive.
Not ONCE!!!!!
