Plus, the PS2 had the disk read error - the 360 had RROD.

I concur with this list. Folks will continue to hate on the 360's success - but in the end, it's all about gaming.

FIXED

if it was about gaming Dreacast would have crushed PS2 ...

Fixed, son.

And I'm supposed to believe your fix because you love the 360? Lawd ...



What, son, what? New York, New York!!!

Similarities between $ony and M$ last Gen and this Gen..

 

Last Gen:

PS2 was released before the Xbox.

PS2 Had the exclusives.

PS2 being first on the market gave the Devs a favorite, easier, system to work on, so Ports went to Xbox. The PS2 was hard to develop for.

Xbox was a more powerful system in some aspects.

Xbox had more bang for your buck, Hard drive, built in Ethernet and such.

Xbox games were in HD not the 480p games but the 720p and 1080i games, It was the first HD system. Which games? And I remember ypu could play god of War II in HD as well.

 

This Gen:

360 was released before the PS3

360 Has the exclusives Suddenly the PS3 has no exclusives?

360 being first on the market gave the Devs a favorite, easier, system to work on, so Ports went to PS3

PS3 is a more powerful system in some aspects

PS3 has more bang for your buck, Blu-Ray, WiFi, and such.

PS3 games are on Blu-Ray, it's the first Blu-Ray HD system.

 

 

I think that's a fair comparison between last gen and this gen.

 

 

PS2 was hard to developer for, but they had more then a year of devs getting use to working on it, then making it their goto system, not to mention install base.

God Of War games only supported 480p and widescreen, only 2 or 3 PS2 games even supported 1080i, don't know one game that supported 720p.. I don't have the list of Xbox 720p games but here's a video on HD and Xbox

I never said the PS3 had no exclusives.

Developers hated the PS2's architecture. Developers loved the original Xbox because it was just a PC in a box so it was easy to code for.

SO?? They still developed mainly on the PS2 like the 360. Developers loved the PS2  just like the 360

Except there are several flaws . Ps2 last gen outsold Xbox by 120 million and Xbox 360 is only outselling Ps3 by what 8.44 million and its certainly not over yet ,not quite the reversed role in that aspect and Xbox 360 doesn't have all the exclusives that's quite an arrogant statement if you think like that.

Well hes not talking about sales. Where does he even talk about sales? Hes talking about the games, specs and release dates

Far from it. It doesnt appeal to hardcore gamers and doesnt even have the best quantity of games

Very well put. Your argument holds a lot of water. There is just one problem. The Wii. So far the PS2 has outsold the original XBOX by about 5 or 6 times, and the PS2 is still going. So far the 360 is outselling the PS3 by about 1/3 at best. Last generation the GameCube was the butt of the industry. This generation the GameCube 2.0, or "Wii", is selling at about where the PS2 was in it's life cycle. If Nintendo had tried to just do what they did last generation, keeping up hardware-wise, they would have been swept under the rug again, and we really would have had a repeat of last generation. But that didn’t happen because Nintendo went "Eff processing power and HD, we're gonna shake shat up with waggle-mania!" And as much as I hate to say it, it worked. Old people, women, kids ate that crap up and asked for seconds. And that's the difference between this generation and the last. That and the 360's horrible hardware failure rates. If it wasn't for motion control and hardware issues, the Xbox 360 would have truly been the juggernaut that the PS2 was last generation.

Because I'm not even close to being a hardcore gamer and the PS2 by definition had the best quantity of games. Because we can measure that objectively. >_>; In my opinion the GCN had more games that appealed to me than the PS2 did.

 

The Wii appeals to as many people as the PS2 did. It has the most sales and is well known. I think they are very similar.

This is hilarious. You're soooOooOoooOoo witty. >_>; Seriously, 2006 called.
