The Supersized Nintendo DS

Today there was a article posted here:

Take Xbox Classic's Halo 2...
...put it into HDTV 720p widescreen resolution...

Take Xbox Classic's Doom 3...

The Xbox 360 rock because...
...they are turning the tables on Sony by releasing it earlier...
...they have much better games and developers than they did for Xbox Classic...
...they have secured support from many major Japanese developers...
...they will probably launch Halo 3 when Sony launches the PS3...
...they have Xbox LIVE which they keep improving (video chat)...
...they will have LIVE-enabled player profiles and statistics...
...they are supporting micro-transactions and a new gaming-economy...
...they have a great plan for integrated user interfaces...
...they are requiring all games to be High Definition.
