nope, for Konami this means that the biggest installed client base is
going to play their games!! (there are far more PC's running Win9x than\
gamesconsoles) This must be the biggest deal Konami ever made! .. DC is
just like a standardized pc so it can handle pc-ports quite well and the
upcomming PSX2 is going to be a lot better than that (if the chips get
baked on time ;) so advanced graphics is no problem (within say half a
year or so)

so you think Konami isn't getting any royaltees?... they would be stupid

i dunno..... have you seen the specs on the PSX2?.... i think noone wil
buy a $4000 pc just to see that a $400 console can do better....

wrong again .... mickysofts slogan has allways been 'If you cant beat
them,
BUY them' (...this comes from ex-M$ers)
and what you say about 'one system' is COMPLETELY TRUE!... this is a M$
strategy and if you think about it it makes sense.... only thing is of
course that micky wants to be on top of the piramid and that's a bad,sad
and disgusting idea (did i mention bad,sad and disgusting?... well it
doesn't hurt to say it again does it ;)
