 The Big Launch
Remember how hard it was to get a Playstation 2 when it launched? They weren't prevalent until mid-January of the following year. At countless locations, Microsoft's new system, the Xbox, made gamers and non-gamers alike stop and look at what they had been missing. True, graphics aren't everything, but the games themselves are key. Thanks to Sega's support, Nintendo's first CD-based system is finally on the market and gaining a large following of people looking forward to the next installments of their favorite games.
