An XBOX shortage? Really? So does this mean people like the XBOX now? LOL
It is moving upwards and onwards to the level of the Playstation? Did Halo2 create such an event where XBOX's become hard to get?
One ponders and things of the future gaming system....
I other thoughts...

I think games will find a new revenue stream and that will be on-line play and interaction. You buy a game, play it on the consol, but it gets a new life when you extend it to on-line. maybe even new levels and new areas to play at.
Also, users might be able to trade parts of games or render services to have special pieces. Like, for example, a 3D car or a special laser gun.
I can easily see Grand Turismo having online zones of play for race courses, or people trade hooked up cars and settings. Maybe even upload images to create their own car! Start their own line of race cars, or form a race group.
The future is NOW!
