It completely sucks, all my cousins and friends are trading their PS2's for Xbox's.

P.S. they all have Halo 2

The released earlier thing, and also it's familiar. People played and enjoyed the Playstation. The PS2 is backwards compatible. People didn't want their game collection to go to waste, and as a plus, the PS2 came out first. So they got that. It's not a terrible system, but the only reason I would buy it is because of Shinobi. I'm a Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master fanboy. I still have my Genesis hooked up to the same TV as my XBox, and play it almost as often.

As do I. All of the systems have their strong points, and none of them just flat out "suck".

I thought that this was appropriate.

There's a pretty bad curse word at the bottom, but it's funny nonetheless. If the mods don’t like it then they can either delete this post or let me edit it myself.

Also note that it more clearly demonstrates the general thinking in New Mombasa than The Flood.

No not everyone feels the same...some people don't participate in these damn console wars because my God. They're damn video game systems, each has its pros and cons.

Not a good idea to say that on a Video game forum.

More games, More different kinds of games, Smaller controllers *no the controller S is not smaller then the ps2's controller* the new more streamlined design, I find it funny how all these xboxers are all down on ps2, when what did they own most assuardely before it? ps1:)

I never had a PS1, instead I had a Nintendo 64, a Gamecube, and I then changed to xbox, I have never had a playstation, and I am so happy to say that.

I think PS2 is so popular for two reasons...

* It came out first.

* More people have it and that makes it look cooler.

It has i dvd player inside, I know. I first bought a ps 2 but after a year also bought an Xbox.
I loved them both until I got 2 know Halo.
Now is the xbox my fav. with Halo 2

But PS2 was first on the market and ps 1 anyone?

Sony had made history with his first console. And ownes the likes of Gran Turismo ( I ain't thinkin' Forza might beat it) and Tekken series along with the whole final fantasy collection.

RPG fans hate the box for its lack on fav games but shoot'em up fans 'll be loving the box.
It's just that simple.

Beside be glad sony exists. Who knows what we'd be paying for our box if there weren't any competition in the market. Cuz' consolegiants ain't doing charity.

3)does have some very good games

Released earlier, more effective marketing.
