KONAMI SUPPORTS XBOX
September 21, 2000

Despite what some would've had you believe, Microsoft doesn't need to purchase Konami in order to get support from the company. In fact, Konami has promised dedicated support of the Xbox to the tune of more than 10 games per year, and it has more than enough development kits to get the job done.

Crash Bandicoot will be making its way to the Xbox. Looks like Sony's going to need to find itself a new mascot (more). Other titles included in the Universal Studios deal are The Thing (more) and Jurassic Park X.

Perhaps the biggest reason to get a PS2 so far may have been minimized. Konami also announced that it is developing Metal Gear Solid X. It is unknown whether this will be based on MGS or MGS2 at this time, though it's a safe bet that it's not just a port.
