Thanks for the article, that was a nice read

Analysts, however, are a wily bunch--skeptical, analytic (of course), and a bit on the hard-boiled side sometimes. If you think you know all the angles, pull up a chair with PJ McNealy or Michael Pachter for an earful of even more questions that remain unanswered.

Well, not shit there are lots of questions! MS hasn't formally unveiled it yet. This would be way more interesting this time next week. (Price, BC, etc.)

That said...there was interesting stuff in there for the other topics it covered. Nice to have a pretty spin-free discussion going on.

Wow - +1,000,000 to everything Cole said. Pretty much bang on the money on EVERYTHING if you ask me.

Pachter: I can't see how they fail to build. They've done a great job with the third parties, they've exploited the online niche, and they're pretty far along with media capability. The only thing that they have had trouble with is exclusives, and Sony and Nintendo have such deep libraries of first-party content, it will be tough for Microsoft to keep pace.

I feel the same way. This is one of the reasons I won't get the 360 (unles something drastic happens).

I have a wireless network and wireless controllers for all 3 consoles. I wouldn't have it any other way. Once you try it, you won't either
