Ruler said: Not really shadows of the collossus, silent hill 3 and metal gear solid 3 looked better than 80% of xbox games. Didnt deny that xbox was stronger just that was a lot more expensive to produce and part of the reasons why it was affordable for people to choose is because MS gave you a huge discount. In europe the xbox came out in march 2002 at a launch price of 480€ which was 70% more expensive than the US price, they dropped it to 250€ in the same year in autumn. So MS tried europeans to suck up the real price which was no where as competive as the ps2. |
Those games look better than most Xbox games because most Xbox games were designed for PS2. Seriously, use some common sense.
You said PS2 was carefully designed but the specs weren't great. Numerous PC ports were console exclusive to Xbox simply because the PS2 specs were garbarge in comparison. Not nearly enough thought went into designing the PS2. Gamecube on the otherhand had some nice specs.
One last thing, Shadows of the Collossus was a mess on PS2. The frame rate made me naucious and visuals were bland. I didn't bother playing through it until the PS3 version was released.
