Now, I have all of the next-gen systems, GameCube, Xbox, and Playstation 2. It's obvious that the PS2 is, by far, the most popular system among gamers. Why? I know it has some awesome games like Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts, the Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank series, but it's so last year! The PS2 came out in '99? '99 or '98? Anyway, it came out long before these new systems and it's still the most popular. The PS2 is so dead, now, to me. It's not come out with a good game in ages; the last good thing to come from PS2 was MGS 2: Substance. So, why is it that most people love PS2? GameCube and Xbox are by far better systems!

Very true. I myself have a PS2 and it is merely collecting dust at this moment (well, not entirely, my sister still plays DDR). But I'm just gonna state the facts right here. Xbox is just a system that recieves ports from the PC. Meaning to say, majority of the games that you can get on the Xbox are on the PC (except for Halo 2 and others).

Look at what happened with Halo. It was supposedly supposed to say on the Xbox, but ended up on the PC. And come on, EVERYONE has a PC. So, PS2 owners can laugh at us considering that they can get the greatest Xbox game out and still play their PS2.

But look at all of the advantages Xbox had. They no longer exist. The new PS2s now come in with a built in network adaptor and you can now buy a hardrive, clearly two features that Xbox had over the PS2.

Look at the internet service, we have to pay for it, they get it for free. It's obvious what most people are going to select.

The only real thing that Xbox has over the PS2 are the quality of graphics. Other than that, there's not much variety on the Xbox. Sure, there are some hard hitting games here and there, but the PS2 has a variety of them.

But don't get me wrong, I still love my Xbox more than my PS2 despite all of this. I was just merely stating the facts from a different point of view. You should learn how to do that BEFORE you voice your opinion.

Yeah, but I'm talking about just sheer games. PS2 hasn't had a great PS2-exclusive game in awhile. And all of the good games for it are several years old.

I was one of the lucky ones. I was about to buy a PS2, but then I really pissed off my mom, and she returned it. So I have never touched the evil that is PS2.

Actually, it's a good system, just grossly overrated.





I am underpaid.

I agree, GameCube and Xbox are the better systems. I've played the PS2 once in awhile but I don't own one and never will. Many of my friends are die hard Xbox fan-boys (They constantly tease me about having a GameCube) but I like a little variety in my games so I have two different systems.

Gamecube has better graphics, but the 'Box has better gameplay.

It's just systems, I don't really care.

However, IGN has given San Andreas a 9.9, so I'm thinking about picking up a PStwo just to play it.

Microsoft and Sony are bitter enemies on the field of gaming. Otherwise, Microsoft would have merged from the start in '01.

Correction. You have all of the current-gen consols. The next-gen consols aren't even a fith of the way threw(except Nintendo).

  • 10.25.2004 4:29 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

The cost of one next-gen console will be about the price of all 3 current-gen consoles most likely. wallet says "Jesus Christ,dude. Diet time"
