How well did Rare games sell in Japan? I don't think MS should quit til they play thier whole deck in Japan. Like gekko said, who knows?
I mean, we can't predict the future... if things would have went this generation like I was thinking they would go, Xbox would already be dead in the states, and Gamecube would have passed Ps2 in world wide sales around this time.
certain games will come along that just can't be predicted... like GTA3 for example, I felt it would be good before hand, but I didn't think it would change the face of the whole gaming market like it did... likewise I thought FFX/MGS2 would be a much bigger success. Maybe it's just me who is bad at predicting things. *sigh*
Either way, methinks they should stick in the race... they have enough money not to become another Sega as far as hardare shelf-life.
