true tom. That would really rock. However once we started developing for x box how much of the rights of the games would we control? If ms controled sales, and got an unknown persentage of our sales then well ms would control the game. And then ms would decide what the game would do and where it would go. And then making games for the x box would not matter because ms would throw graphics in it and other things so it could be played. I donn't call that fair.
