PS2 was bigger, but XBox had the bestselling game, and XBox made the most off one game- Halo 2- which beat all records on it's first day of release. Although they should both corralate, they don't. The reason PS2 had a bigger market share was because you had to buy more of them. My first PS2 broke a month after I got it. I got my XBox at the same time. This was christmas 2003. My XBox, although it sometimes fudges with a few game every now and then, still works a treat most of the time. I don't know anyone who has bought more than 1 XBox, yet I know several who have had to buy 2,3,4 and in one case 7 PS2s.

This has gone on slightly too long, and I'm ranting. If you really want to read that up there and pay attention to it (and that is all factual, I can guarantee that) then go ahead. But my point is (which didn't come across clearly) was that the PS3 will most likely follow in the footsteps of the PS2 rather than the PSP. And the PS2 sucked


I bought my PS2 before the Xbox even came out and it is still working perfectly right now. My friend had an Xbox and it just died. It stopped working completely. Also the PS2 was infinetly better than the gamecube and the Xbox. The gamecube only had 2 good games (RE4 and SMSB) and the Xbox doesnt have any good games that i can think of.

p.s. Nice speech Hound.

It doesnt really deserve that much respect. What is the point of haveing it if all the games eventually come out for the PC for less money and better graphics. Also the only game that looks any good and original on it is Gears of War.

Bloodhound gave majority examples. One reason why the PS2 had a second model come out was because the PS2 had a limited lifespan (FACT) - I know only one person who still has a working original, and it was because she never played it.

XBox's are far more durable than the original PS2 in such a respect, so that argument, Pat, is completely null.

Also, infinitely better? XBox was... twice as powerful as the PS2... If you say 'infinite' as 'half', then you may just be right.
And if you turn to the oh so fateful arguement that many have turned to, 'Microsoft are money whores' I'll let you know- they only started making a profit off the XBox franchise last year. Plus, Microsoft, as a company, are not that high in terms of value.

Re: have u gotten the ps3 yet?
I say it was infinately better because it had much better games. In fact i cant really even think of one really fun game on the xbox. There were waaayyy more fun games on the PS2 than the xbox. Also i have a working original ps2 and i have played on it hundreds of hours at least. People who have their ps2s break must take really shitty care of them.
Re: have u gotten the ps3 yet?
Thats your personal opinion, and your personal lifestyle. Like I said, most of my friends who have had a PS2 had to buy at least 1 other, and only one person I know who had an XBox said it broke- the rest all still work fine.
And if your gonna say the PS2 is infinitely better, your wrong. Period. It wasn't better. It was alot worse. Saying the games were better is left to complete opinion- but those don't go with the console hand in hand. Besides, Xbox did sell more games than the PS2 overall, so whereas your opinion is 'there aren't any fun games on the XBox' (try looking next time- half of their exclusive titles were utter crap) the statistics show that the XBox games were in fact alot better. I don't like going by statistics, but I don't like people stating their personal opinion in an arguement and expecting it to hold either.

No, there was a manufacturing error with the laser reader. Which is one of the main reasons they made the slimline.

And it is not that expencive if you make you own computer. I know kids who have made their own computers for under 1200$ that can play any game on the market on full settings.

Patrick I really don't think thats true. And Patrick Of course The computer can do more like microsoft word, Paint shop pro etc etc etc but if you want a good gaming experience the Xbox 360 is a smart option. Also Patrick don't let your arguments be controled by your opinions.
Re: have u gotten the ps3 yet?
Im just saying that what is the point of buying an xbox if you can just buy a computer and play all the same games. Most people will buy a new computer anyways eventually. Also what fun games did come out on the Xbox. All i can think of is San andreas but that came out for the PS2. And Halo is fun for a little while at partys but it gets old fast. And you could have the most powerful system in the world and still be the worst system in the world because no fun games are made for it.

Read our posts. The only game I thought was ever fun for the PS2 that was exclusive was FF10. And even so thats my opinions. I CANT say that the PS2 was lame, based on 'my opinion'. I look at facts before opinion. Ps2 wasnt as powerful as the XBox. Fact. PS2 had lame games compared to the XBox. Opinion. It really does count for nothing becaue I can just as easily say something like 'OMG but Fuzion Frenzy beat evry game for the ps2 becos i sed so!'. It doesnt work like that. There will be a few who agree, and a few who dont, but you cant say that it's better BASED on your opinion. You can say it's better IN your opinion. And besides, Halo rocked in single and Co-op play. Just because you dont like 1st person shooters (I'm guessing that your a racing or platform game fan) doesnt mean the rest of the world isn't. Most of the recent best-sellers have been 1st person shooters- Halo, Halo 2, Half Life 2, Doom 3,Gears of War... the list could go on.

I actually love first person shooters. They are one of my favorite game types. I play BF2 at my friends house, BLACK, Red Faction 2, Time Splitters series, a demo of doom 3 (considering buying it for my mac), and one of the best FPS of all time the first Deus Ex. I have played many more but those are my favorites. And I liked Halo. I just didnt think it was as great as everyone said it was. One example is that games were always called "HaloKillers" when people thought they were going to be good. I was just asking what fun games came out for Xbox(the original one) that didnt come out for the ps2? This can be answered in your own opinion.
Also I dont really like RPGs or whatever you call them like FF10. The only really fun RPG I have played was Dark Cloud 2. That was pretty fun. Also the MGS series was amazing, as was Ratchet and Clank and many other games.
Also some of the people who are arguing that the xbox was better than the ps2 because it had more power are saying that the xbox360 will be better than the ps3 even though it is not as powerful. I just find this funny.

...Funnily enough, for the amount of time Sony have spent on it (and the delays they've put on it for the European release), the PS3 has already shown some major public bugs. Such as the controllers go schiz for no reason whatsoever.

Then, 'in your opinion', you chose the worst console to play for. Its a fact the PS2 had the most capabilities for RPGs (which is, incidentally, what EVERYONE calls them). Why? Because it was powerful enough to have amazing graphics, but not powerful enough to have amazing graphics for lots of different things at the same time. Solution to show off its potential? Show off amazing graphics under the guise it IS lots of things at the same time, where almost no chaos can ever happen due to everything being run through scripted variables and multiple choice rather than free action, and thus its all one thing that looks flashy in the end - In other words, RPGs.

This time, you only chose the second worst. Feel proud you made a half-right decision.
