Before anyone else posts here with their crazy ideas about why Xbox exists, please watch these video(s)

I watched part 1. It looks more like a how explanation than a why explanation. But even then you can see glimpses of the thinking that PS2 appeared to be somewhat of an existential threat, whether merely percieved or real it doesn't matter, it was part of the thinking and strategic rationale from the beginning. What prodded (at least in part) the mind of the guy to originally conceive of the Xbox was the suggestion that PS2 might threaten the PC, however far fetched that really is as a thought or claim. See in particular the segment from 4:14-4:39.
