Here's to IBM's magnum opus, and its $800 eBay pricetag . 3.2 GHz, 3 processing cores, insanely powerful GPU. But how much money is Microsoft losing on the system itself, and how much revenue will its games really bring in over the holidays? None of the games look extraordinarily impressive. Quake is a cult favorite, and Call of Duty 2/Perfect Dark Zero are sure to bring in SOME of the FPS crowd, but when it's all said and done these games will be dust in the wind as soon as something big hits. The question is: before Christmas, will it? Will Microsoft's gaming platform survive the winter without adequate games to feed to its engine? Fortunately for MS, Kingdom Hearts 2 has been delayed yet again, so that destroys Sony's hopes of doing ANYTHING significant over these holidays in the gaming realm. Zelda isn't due out for quite awhile either. What are your thoughts?
On another note, if XBox 360 can employ a 3.2 GHz, tri-core CPU, why can't a PowerMac?
