Now, look. For one thing, there ARE Xbox magazines in the works, but more importantly, how can this author honestly say that Microsoft is less honest than the other videogame companies? Sony, Nintendo and Sega only got into the market to make money - that's why you make a new product, on the chance that it will make money. (Oh, and by the way, Nintendo and Sega were not the first video game companies.)
As for Oddworld, the game is undoubtedly looking better and more complex than it was on the PS2. If Lanning says this is because programming for the PS2 was harder, I'm inclined to believe him. And how is publishing screenshots false advertising? The article promised a revolutionary game, and that's just what you'll get... just on the Xbox.
The reviewer asks why, if the PS2 is so hard to program for, there are such great games on it. I have some advice for that guy: LOOK AT THE XBOX RELEASE LINEUP! For each good-looking game on PS2 there's a better one on Xbox. Tony Hawk 2? Tony Hawk 2X. Tekken Tag? Dead or Alive 3. SSX? SSX for Xbox!
Don't dismiss the Xbox based on the company it's being produced by. Judge it only based on how any game system should be judged: the final product.
PS: I'm not a pro-Xboxer. I'm just an anti-anti-Xboxer.
