Well, E3 is here, and eh, does it look like the PS2 is finally dead?
There are no major PS2 announcements from Sony.
No top quality Sony games, no nothing about the PS2.
No online wants, no single player wants, just nothing.
A not very interesting announcement about Cell workstations by the end of the year, and a hand held device.
So, the PS2 finally dying?
We've got Metal Gear Solid 3, and Gran Turismo 4 to look farward to as exclusives, woohoo :D
My Xbox might be my favourite console in the coming months, Doom 3 Live, Halo 2 Live, The Red Star, PES Live, and the full EA lineup Live, yes I want NHL on my Xbox.
Microsoft are now THE major player in the games console industry, and Live has swung it for them.

Precisely why I said 'will not' and not 'is not', you fool.

You making idiotic generalisations.

So the whole Nintendo forum is bad because one person tells you to shut up? Heh.

However i think Sony can get away with it at this time at not having a number of exclusives. I mean most people have already bought a PS2 and because most can't afford to support more than one console then they'll stick to the PS2 so the fact the games aren't exclusive doesn't really matter. Now when the PS3 comes out and it doesn't have a good number of strong exclusives then that's the time to worry for Sony.
For me to buy an Xbox they'd need at least 10 good exclusive titles that also aren't on PC for me to consider buying it. Right now it has nowhere near that many that i like so the PS2 is keeping me very happy in games at the moment, most of which actually ARE exclusives (Disgaea, Front Mission 4, Generation of Choas, Socom 2, La Pucelle Tactics etc etc)

What could be more official than the official playstation 2 magazine ?

You still can't tell which will be better, unless you're a fortune teller or you work with both Sony and Microsoft and they both let you play both games before they were released. =p

Ah, I get your point Afro :D
What are you talking about now Cusack, I said if you got the info from an official source then I'd accept I was wrong, what more do you want?
No where did I say the OPS2 mag wasn't official.

The ps3 will have the highest technical specs, it will also play all ps1 and ps2 games. The Xbox2 won't play Xbox 1 games, and will not have a built in Hard Disk,in addition big companies like Toshiba and IBM are also working on the ps3 project, and besides, up until now, the Xbox 2 project cost Microsoft 200 Million Dollars, while the ps3 project has cost Sony 600 Million Dollars. The Xbox had better specs than the ps2 only because it came one year later, and between you and me, they feel that way because they only play PAL games, someone like you could see the whole picture, while people in Japan have Tons of exclusive ps2 games.

Eh? What ever happened to opinion? I don't recall saying anything factual about either game. Jeez, lighten up, fanboy.
