Actually I read/watch the news obsessively.
However, thats not the point.
Do you *really* think that the video game market 'mindshare' could be stolen at this point from Sony and Nintendo? Do you think Nintendo alone would LET years of owning the market go without a fight against an upstart like microsoft? And do you *really* think that Sony would let that happen? Sony alone has more money than MS, I'm sure Sony and Nintendo would be more than willing to have co-licensing and pricing agreements if the X-box became a remote threat.
Nintendo and Sony will watch as the X-Box will go the way of the 32X, the Jaguar, and more recently, the Dreamcast.
