I do understand that console games have cut into them some.

Good point. Now that PS2s and XBoxes can be networked, there's much less of a need to have a PC for multiplayer games.

On a related note, does anyone think Half-Life 2 will actually ship in 2004?

Don't kid yourself. Nothing comes close to the intensity of a well crafted multiplayer first-person-shooter on consoles.

Console games are for kids. Counter-Strike/Condition Zero/Doom III are for men with $$$ and too much time on their hands.

August 2 is the date - it will ship in 18 days! Oh, the glory that will be ours!
