| REUTERS -- Microsoft Corp. will not back down even if the launch of its Xbox 360 video game console fails to propel it to first place in the $25 billion global market, Chairman Bill Gates said on Monday. "We'll play again," Gates told Reuters in a telephone interview ahead of the Xbox 360 launch on Tuesday. Microsoft will be the first of the major gaming console makers to sell a next-generation machine when the Xbox 360 goes on sale on Tuesday, and aims to take the lead from Sony Corp. "We learned a lot in the first round. We've got a chance not just to have higher market share, but also to grow the size of this market substantially," Gates said. The Microsoft co-founder said the Xbox 360 will be better than the next-generation PlayStation 3 console from Sony. Sony's PlayStation 2 is estimated to now control about 70 percent of the global market. "In terms of how we've balanced technology in the machine, we feel certain we've done a better job than Sony," he said. "You won't really know that until a year from now, when people are talking about how the games on our machines compare to the games on Sony's machines," Gates said. Microsoft says highlights of its new machine include high-definition graphics, online game play and Web chat, as well as the ability to connect to music players and cameras. | |||
