Well, at long last, Microsoft has made their X-Box announcement...and being
the huge fan of both PC and console games that I am, I'm certainly excited about
the prospect of a new system, although there really hasn't been anything shown
that has blown me away as of yet. The demonstration movies certainly were impressive,
no question about it, but they were pre-rendered, "using the specifications
of the system" (according to this
Q&A on PC.IGN, anyway). I'm not sure what that really means, but to
me, that big robot demo looked like an ad for Character Studio (I was waiting
for the dancing baby to come grooving in). Also, since Microsoft has literally
just decided on their final specs, there's no physical hardware yet. Once I
see an actual X-Box, even if it's just running a looped demo, I'll be totally
psyched to get my hands on one. Until then, I suppose we'll just be subjected
to the usual round of hardware sites pitting press releases against each other
("Dolphin vs. X-Box vs. Playstation 3! Which one should you buy?").
