   I despise Sega for their 32X performance, so cut me some slack. I
mean, how could they drop the platform, I was so looking forward to
Virtua Hamster... ;-))
   I was speaking to an American member who attended the show, and
Dreamcast must have been shown in private, because he searched the
floor and could not find one display. He asked about it and Project X,
and all he got was funny looks (Jeff Lawton, for those who question my
sources).
   I await some of the pro's feedback, but it would seem that the view
from the floor was that this was Sony's show, once again. He said that
N64 had some presence, but did not show anyhting that blew away the
PSX. Hey, I look forward to Metal Gear Solid.
   I await some feedback from those who got special showings... 
   Any who predict the demise of the PSX are premature. I want the
platform to stick around, so the pros get the time to really exploit
the hardware. I mean, who thought the SNES could handle Donkey Kong
Country? 
   For some reason, IMHO, I think the gaming media resents Sony as
johnny-come-latelys who messed around in their turf, and they are
biased in favor of the traditional platforms.
