MS was being sued by NVidia over the Xbox's video card. MS had always planned to use the Xbox to enter the video game biz and never planned to make a profit - they need a platform and it was the Xbox. It came out after the PS2, with a higher price tag and got plummeled. What really hurt Xbox sales were the lack of exclusives. Having to wait years to play GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas on the Xbox forced several folks to buy a PS2 just to play GTA and other games.
