I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree that it will be the demise of
various game genres on the PC. The most successful PC games are things
like the Sims and RollerCoaster Tycoon, which have very low hardware
requirements.

Won't be a problem with the XBox. It will have the PantherXL
(trackball + joystick combo) which is MUCH more user friendly than the
keyboard/mouse. Won't be a problem with the PS/2 either - use your PC
USB mouse and the gamepad in your left hand for movement.
