...could share the bulk of the market, with Sega and Nintendo scrambling for leftovers. But the X-box has a good shot at success, despite the games handicap. Because it never has been a player in the console market, Microsoft is flying almost completely below the gaming press's radar. The Evil Empire has somehow morphed into the Rebel Alliance: plucky little engineers armed with blowtorches. It's going to be a long, sleepless...
