[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 536316, member: 1134"] Nintendo screwed up again. The cartirige system in N64 vs the PS1 was just dumb. It still was a good system with some great games, but that was just dumb and doomed them to failure. Simialrly in this round not using DVDs which are seen as the high end of current gaming console s, they went with there non-DVD sytem, just lame. And the one year gap is just a killer.(on top of that they had a slow release of games after there initital release) Microsoft had a decent 1st showing, though I really doubt any American company had any hope of success in the needed Japan market, and the one year gap agian really hurts. The X-Box may have gotten enough name recognition as the "better" mechine tech wise that if round 2 comes up and they release their machine at the same time(both in Japan and here so yes Japan owuld get the X-Box before us) they might have a chance to get a decent market share. And while I like the X-box controller it would probably be wise to release the game with either a smaller controller or with the option for a smaller controlelr instead of having to wait for it.
