I agree, LG. The 360 has some great exclusive titles, but I predict Steam stealing back some of that market (for online/friends list/multiplayer titles) in 08.

Jeff Bell is on nerd 'crack.' Nintendo is on a runaway course to catch up to the PS2. The 360 has carved itself as being the niche hardcore system, but will never sell 40 million in the states. Especially with the bad press they are recieving, Sexbox, Red Ring of Death and countless other stories that the mainstream media has picked up on hurts it chances greatly.
