'All three consoles are really good,' Mr. Hollenshead said by telephone from Id's base in Mesquite, Tex. 'But as far as basic capacity, Xbox just wins out in certain areas. It flat-out offers more capability.' That is a crucial distinction, Id and a number of other game developers are beginning to say aloud. Some, like Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, say that Xbox is the only console that can serve as an adequate showcase for the artistry and complexity of his company's graphically complex games. A coming game from Epic, Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, will be played only on Xbox.
