I'm just an Xbox-deficient gamer, and I would like to know if there
are any plans for Project Gotham 2 to be ported to a PC title in the
near future. Thanks in advance for any help :)

I doubt it. The first one was never ported to the PC.

Like Sony's Grand Turismo series for the PS2, Gotham Racing 1 & 2 are sort
of flag ship racing titles for the Xbox.
Since they are Xbox and PS2 exclusive titles, they wouldn't be able to
entice people to buy their console systems, if they were to port them over
to the PC.

A real shame because GT3 and PG2 with superior graphics and CPU's that a PC
could offer would probably look and run awesome!
Then again... Some say these games were written specifically to the graphics
card and CPU of the console, but who knows?

Which really doesn't make sense since MS is losing money on every XboX
sold, why would they want you to buy one ? :-)

Since XboX is so closely related to PC's, are there any XboX emulators
out there ?

This is the second time I've heard this thing about MS losing money on every
XBox sold. What's your source? Seems incredible to me to believe such a
thing.

Easier said than done, from what I hear. There are one or two out. One
right now only supports Halo. But then I'm not willing to grab a 4 gig game
just to play a game on my PC, especially since the game is out for the PC
too.

But then I have an XBox, so I wouldn't even be interested in an emulator
even if one came out that was worth something.

That was widely publicized shortly after its introduction, based on
someone's analysis of the parts. It is questionable whether it is still
true. But regardless, the purpose of getting you to buy the Xbox is so that
you will buy more games, on which they do make a tidy profit. If you think
about it, it's kind of the same marketing model used for cell phones and
satellite TV. Get the equipment out at a loss, knowing that it will bring
in a steady income once it is in people's hands.

That is a fairly common practice amoung console manufactuers. Why do you think Sega abandoned hardware but not Software for consoles?
