It's Official. SEGA to pull out of the videogame hardware business.

Here is a comparison of the 3 systems. Of course the site is run by Microsoft so there are lots of n/a under Nintendo.

I believe the Xbox will be comparatively priced with the GC and PS2. Bill Gates is no idiot. He can take the hit in the wallet now and make it up when his machine gets going. Xbox will be off to a fast start. The game selection is growing everyday. Look for Madden 2002...this is confirmed. Xbox has DVD (if you are looking for a DVD player), a broadband ethernet port, and a 8 GB hard drive.

The numbers on the Xbox are higher but Nintendo will compete (high numbers doesn't really mean anything), but hands down in the long run, Xbox will be the better system.

Why?

250Mhz custom-designed graphics chip by nVidia.

Microsoft will have a difficult time selling their system overseas in markets dominated already by Sony and Nintendo. I am not a big fan of Nintendo therefore I will go with the Xbox. People keep saying the Xbox is like your PC...basically its a portable PC that requires no upgrade. Why go out and buy a new video card for a couple of hundred bucks when I can just go buy an Xbox. That is sweet.
