Strengths:
-The most robust online network--now with content from former fence-sitter Electronic Arts
-A killer lineup of first-person shooters and role-playing games
-Continued strong support from third-party publishers
Weaknesses:
-Halo 2, Fable, Doom 3--all top-tier titles...from last year! Where are the surprises?
-The roster of big games starts to taper off once you get into early 2005
-Sony's PS2 price drop takes away XBOX's price advantage
Overall:
Xbox is set for its best fall yet based on Halo 2 alone. Still, despite its superior online service, Xbox can't match the breadth of the PS2's library.
Grade: B
