Here's the thing - just by having an xbox, you're advertising for the
product, and other people will buy games for the ones they buy. It's the
same reason that having a pirate copy of windows doesn't really hurt MS -
it just makes them that much closer to total ubiquity.

I broke down and spent $50 on a PS1 shortly after the PS2 came out.
(Although, had I known that my DVD player was going to get hit by
lightning, I would have forked out for the PS2.)
