Poll: PS2 vs. X-Box

What do you prefer?

X-Box or Playstation 2

 

sony all the way good hardware. microsoft good software but hardware not so much. i hope i dont get a knock at my door from guys in black suits and dark glasses and yes i do mean the blues brothers

 

i dun hav Xbox but i've played it.. i voted for PS2. Xbox has it's popular name only becoz of the great Halo.
oh, and i think the Xbox controllers are way too big...

 

I preffer X-Box even though I hate microsoft but they have some pretty good games. PS2 is also kool but I would rather buy an X-Box...

 

Funny i coulda SWORE Microsoft owns like 90% of the world with its crappy hardware + software, i must switch over to sony's over priced components now!

I think we just took a step backwards to 2001 or somthing , that and claiming Xbox's only "game" is Halo/2 is just silly, it shows that your answer is biast "just because"

Anyways; i own all current non portable systems out right now and i find more pleasure playing xbox games over playstation 2. Reason being is the eyecandy on a PS2 = Half of what can be produced on an Xbox hardware.that and the fact that xbox can handle much larger game worlds and much more things on-screen then Ps2 hardware can. Its almost playing PSOne Over PS2. Just doesnt fit the bill. I DO prefer playing PS2 over Gamecube though; GC is very limited on my list of games that i play and the fun runs out quick ussaly.

Let the flame war begin

 

Question: Why isnt the Gamecube involved?

Also, I prefer the Xbox, it DOES exactly what the PS2 does, but graphically better, also games load alot quicker on Xbox

The Type S Xbox controller also rules over the PS2 in 'My' opinion! Dont get me wrong, the PS2 was the winner, but even the Gamecube sorta killed the PS2 for me, although the Gamecube is in it for its 'Own' sort of genre/audience!

Before the Xbox, I was happily playing GT3, Devil May Cry, etc

As for the Halo, Halo 2 being the Xbox pusher, that is certainly this biggest load of cods wallop!

Have you seen the amount of titles generated for the Xbox so far, also note that the Xbox2 will likely have support for its deceased counter-part when it hits retail stores! (Ala PS2)

Go buy a PS2 and an XBox, then go buy a few games that are on both systems, watch the diffrences!

Look at Splinter Cell, the Xbox version makes the PS2 look graphically inferior due to the nvidia chipset and the light shaders on hardware!

Look at NFS Underground/2 for XBox and PS2, if you cannot notice a diffrence, then their is something wrong, but that MASSIVE diffrence isnt why I prefer Xbox, its the sheer amount of games on Xbox that suits ME, its the abilities in the hardware that make exclusive Xbox titles a cut above an Exclusive PS2 title, sure, PS2 has Metal Gear III or whatever, but it will eventually see the light of day on a diffrent system (Of sorts), if it doesnt, we can always go to our nearest blockbuster or video ezy store and hire a PS2 overnight with metal gear and clock it

The other reason I prefer Xbox? XBOX LIVE! and all its nitty gritty features!

And I still like my Gamecube, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Brothers, Zelda, etc.. yeah to you these may seem like kiddy titles, and thats your invaluable opinion, but these games are the types I grew up on, and until the day I die I will always support and play these types of games, to remember what originally got me into gaming and why Nintendo is in its own style territory market

Ooooh Uhhhh, Donkey Kong

 

Sorry ExOxE,

You are so right, I didn't mean to be "hating" on Gamecube owners .

My first poll, and I screwed it up. So sorry..........please forgive me .

I do agree with your post though, although it seems some points might be a little backwords. Doesn't PS2 have alot more games, and isn't MetalGear3 an X-Box title?

Latly, in response to another post: Hardware problems? I owned several PS1's and I had to keep getting them repaired. My X-Box on the other hand, has never given me any problems.

I don't neccessarily like Microsoft, but allowing Sony to corner the market and pump out "crap" games doesn't seem to be right either. Remember, I think most will agree: computer games have almost always been better than console games. With Microsoft - computer game contracts = console game contracts. I've already seen some cross over, and I look forward to more in the future.

 

XBOX HANDS DOWN!

I'll be the first to admit the XBox doesn't have the number of games PS2 does, but when you look at a majority of the games the PS2 has over XBox I wouldn't have bought them anyway. Many seem to be filler on the store shelves.

XBox graphics are much better! Faster loading! More powerful system. Just a better machine.

 

PS2 has a lot of extra games the people really don't give a crap about. And Xbox has the same games, plus the best game that is an exclusive to its console... that game being Halo 2. Halo 2 is easily the best game available this fall & winter, and it will stretch you until Halo 3 is released. It's by far the most popular game and it has the most fans. The only game that's worth buying that's not on Xbox is GTA: San Andreas, but to me... that game is boring anymore. GTA3 was the last one I actually played. I bought Vice City, but rarely played it. Now I don't have a PS2, I got rid of it because I didn't play it.

 

its very simple

the x box is a better machine

the PS2 has better game support

which ever is more important to you is up to you - if you want a machine that is going to come up with stunning titles every now and again then choose the xbox - if you want to be safe in the knowledge that titles that you love are definately going to be avaialble then buy a PS2

i can think of one game i would like to have on the PS2 but cant and thats Halo 2 i can think of 10 games i would like to have on the xbox but cant.

 

i might get a PS2 just for Ys Arc of Napishtam ... but an Ys sequel is the only reason I'd EVER touch a console ... y oh y couldn't they port the PC version
