If console online gaming takes off in a big way, MS has the inside track with XBLThe problem is that it's looking like it won't take off as big as MS hopes. The X-Box fans are going to get it, but not that many people have an X-Box and a BB connection and are willing to put up the monthly fees (after the first year, of course).
And just because MS has XBL doesn't mean that they will have the inside track on online gaming. If online gaming picks up, then Nintendo will jump in with some of it's flagship games online (and probably without fees) which means MS will be fighting an uphill battle against them.
The only way I see XBL being a huge success is if more people get DSL/cable, the console starts selling a lot better worldwide, and MS starts delivering some AMAZING exclusive online-only content. Frankly, I don't see that happening for any console until maybe the next generation.
What about the gameplay? That's what kills a lot of the really good looking games.
What about that gameplay Morgan?
Graphics over Gameplay??I guess Morgan prefers graphics over gameplay unless you're talking about the XBox.
And just because MS has XBL doesn't mean that they will have the inside track on online gaming.Once again, you lack evidence and your completely wrong... MS has published numerous online games on the PC. Motorcross Madness 1 & 2, Midtown Madness, Flight Simulator 2002, Combat Flight Simulator, Train Simulator, etc... And they use the ZONE for match making.

Call me crazy, but I think they have some expeirence. And the fact that they are using Sega's technology as well. I've played many games of NFL2K1 & 2K2 online with dial-up, and had some great connections. Not to mention NBA2K1 and Ogga Booga.
Morgan, do yourself a favor, when you grow up and decide what you want to do, stay away from law school.
The difference with the Xbox is, even the crummy games at least look nice.*cough* Kabuki Warriors & Bruce Lee look nice? *cough*
Actually, visually they aren't the worst-looking games on the market.You're right, they're not. Bruce Lee still looks poo though.
Morgan, do yourself a favor, when you grow up and decide what you want to do, stay away from law school.Guys, really, this had been a really good discussion. Let's not get it closed by sniping. Let's stay on topic. I'm learning a lot here.
