I really should stop replying to you Joey but here goes:
1) No matter what you think about the PSX2 vs. XBox discussion, PSX2 isn't outdated now? And what does outdated mean? That it isn't the best? No, it means that you can't run the games you want, there's very few using money just to brag about their system specs, they want to play games as well you know.
So, as long as FFX is released on the PSX2, it will not exceed the PSX2's system specs and so, PSX2 is never going to be outdated. If you want to play FFI, the NES isn't outdated, right?
2) By the time the XBox is released most people will probably have played through FFX (or not be too long from it), if that happens PSX2 will be the best console on the market at the time anyway. Who cares what happens later?
3) The XBox don't have a chance in the japanese market, exactly because the RPG giants like Squaresoft doesn't support it! The XBox could the a hundred times better techincally, people still wouldn't buy it because FFX is released on the PSX2. When it comes to Japan and Final Fantasy, it is the console makers that must dance to the game companies' tune, not the other way around. Outside of Japan things are different but Final Fantasy was a success long before the outside world even knew about it. And the same holds true there as well, most Final Fantasy players are fans and many would buy a PSX2 to play that game alone.
I wish it wasn't this way though, because I would love to play FFX on my PC. Now I'm not sure at all what to do, I don't think I'm going to spend the money on a PSX2 myself. Oh well, there are other things to do than playing Final Fantasy.
