steel shark... it is clear that you have not been reading what i have typed...

when i said the xbox would fail, i meant that it would be unpopular. i also said [as you would have noticed had you read anyone else's posts] that the xbox was the best console there was. THAT is why i would buy one; because it is good. but it will also be unpopular, partly because of the price, and partly because people [NOT me, before you start flaming me for this] believe that Microsoft is attempting to monopolise the computer industry.

despite the fact that it will be very good, it will not be popular. i firmly believe that there is never any connection between what is good and what is popular, and the xbox will probably be a prime example, for the reasons i have already stated.

so, in answer to your questions:
1) i do not care because i can't afford any consoles, so the issue does not affect me
2) i would buy an xbox if i had the money because it is the best console around
3) i said it would fail because i believe that it will not be popular. i believe this because i have heard many people criticising the xbox recently, for the reasons i outlined above. i am NOT taking their word above yours, since you have already convinced me that the xbox will be a fantastic machine, but if they represent the majority, then, for obvious reasons, the xbox will not be popular.

i hope i have cleared this up for you, so you can now stop attacking me for something i haven't done.
