Having just read the article on Sega developing for the X-Box, i think the first blows have landed in the next gen "console war". Sega have announced 11 titls for the X, wich is more then the 'Cube or the PS2 (I think). Other big name titles have been announced from 3rd party developers, with DoA 3 being an X only title to begin with, along with another version of the mighty ISS.
This just confirms what i've been saying for some weeks now. The console that gets the most support from Sega will win the "war". Why is this? Well, even though Sega now no longer manufacture the hardware side of console, it seems their name still has some marketing muscle.
I think that the rumours that the X wouldnt be online 'til the second year would have put some potential customers, and 3rd party developers off. However, now that Microsoft have signed up Sega, that will no doubt restore the faith of customers and developers alike.
Thoughts anyone?

Didn't Nintendo flatly deny that in a statement at the beginning of March?
