At least six online-enabled games will accompany the launch. X-Box Live features built-in networking capabilities, but only supports broadband Internet connections. Competitors Sony Corp. and Nintendo later this year also will offer online gaming for their consoles Playstation 2 and GameCube, respectively. According to surveys by the Interactive Digital Software Association, as many as 31% of game players say they play online.
