Yeah it's been all over gaming news, I dont think it's hugely important though.

it's really to early to so what kind of impact this will have on the video game market.

They promised 5 games in 2 years for Xbox. They also confirmed a new KI and Blast Corps.

I doubt it will have much impact...A new mario would probably have more...

It's true that this won't have much impact for Xbox in Japan. But RARE had a few million sellers in the US. And they have all their franchises, except DK. PD0 Online should be good.
