I don't see why the magazines think Xbox Live will do so amazing, sure its cool and all. But not enough people have Broadband yet. Sure in the future that will change, but right now its the high minority. But people who play those games will most likley already have Broadband anyways.

I think the Cube will do better just based on the Kid Factor. More games that appeal to kids, and thats what kids want these days is video games. So I say cube.

I'm almost positive that there are more BB owners than dial-up in suburbian and city areas, which makes up a pretty damn large number of people, all though, I can be wrong..

If it means anything, the 17 people with the internet that I know, 16 have Road Runner, and one has Frontier Lightning Link. No one has dial up except me on Dreamcast, and that's a free account of a old friends that the phone company never shut off for some reason.

I honestly think the cube will sell better. For all this talk of Splinter Cell being a system seller, outside of magazine hype, the average person doesn't seem to know about it. Yeah, it comes out Xbox first, but then it comes for the other 2 next year. Ghost Recon comes out for cube in december. Aside from maybe MGS2, I don't see anything for Xbox that'll move systems.

I think the kiddie factor will do well for Nintendo this holiday season. Just because Mario Sunshine hasn't broken the 2 million mark in August doesn't mean that little Billy doesn't still want it for this Christmas. Mario Sunshine has been getting a lot of flak because of "poor" sales but that's because its target audience isn't the type that runs out and buys games on the first day it comes out. Mario Sunshine's sales are from mommy and daddy who decide to buy little Billy what they want at their own discretion.

If you think MGS2:S and SC aren't going to pull in the mainstream, and Panzer Orta would've, than I laugh heartily at your grasp of the mainstream mentality

i laugh at you for having a grasp of "mainstream reality". BTW, isn't "mainstream reality" an oxymoron?
