      Yeah I think alot of people are doing it that way. No one in their right mind wants to pass up MGS2, and they want to let Gamecube be out for a few months and see what it does before they pick it up. Xbox I think is going to have a niche. Maybe PC gamers who want one hardware config for a few years for a small price. Can't say I blame them though, with the state of PC gaming.
