On March 14th, the PS2 welcomes its first competitor to stumble it and take its 18 month stranglehold on console gaming to a halt. Yes, thats right, the X-BOX comes out next March and we will then really see how the PS2 fares up against stiffer opposition than the Dreamcast and Gameboy Advance. It is sure to be an interesting battle and here is my thoughts on what will happen in the war of the future of gaming.
Sony will have no complaints if the X-BOX topples it because it comes out at the same price as the PS2 did with the same accesories in the package so all will be fair and equal in that department. The X-BOX will come with an adapter, console and controller just like the PS2 did 18 months earlier.
The quality of games could be interesting because the X-BOX line-up looks strong and will take some good games from the PS2 to topple X-BOX in that way. X-BOX has games like WWF RAW IS WAR and Resident Evil making an apperance on their platform which will take some beating but Metal Gear Solid 2, SSX Tricky, Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA 2002 will all be out by then so it will give the X-BOX a run for its money in game sales.
The quality of the X-BOX just has to be seen to be believed. The graphics are of the highest quality and the DVDS will produce equality in quality allowing the X-BOX to be the home entertainment system. The PS2 does match the X-BOX in the fact that it will play DVD'S and highly graphical games but will still miss out on the sharpness and detail that the X-BOX pocesses.
The capabilities of the PS2 are still growing today with keyboards and internet available on it as well as producing online games. The X-BOX will surley be announcing similar features and matching Sony all the way as they hope to win the gamers over. X-BOX will also have Bill Gates behind it so anything is possible with the ideas that he can come up with.
An advantage for the X-BOX over the PS2 is that it will have four controller sockets instead of the two that the PS2 came out with. As well as multi-taps and extensions, God knows how many you will be able to play on the X-BOX at one time.
In my opinion , I think that the X-BOX will match the PS2 opening sales and probably go better because you do simply get great value for money with it, but I think the PS2 will still top the games charts because of the amazingly high quality of games that are going to be appearing on it at the time of the year. All in all, whatever one you get, you will be getting your moneysworth with the price of the PS2 still going down today. Its your choice.

Yeah i agree, capcom have made a BIG mistake in not bringing the Resi games to the PS2, hpefully they will realise the disappointment of the Resi fans and also take note that the ps2 will be the most popular console around, they will look back and think "we made bad mistake by only releasing them on the GC", mistakes should be used to learn from, lets hope capcom learn from theirs, they won't be exclusive forever though, and we do have DMC, so its not all bad

When Capcom realise that they are losing a lot of money they are going to reconsider this. I mean compare the number of PS2 owners with the number of GC owners in Japan there is a huge gap one that was widened with the release of FFX I dont think that Resi 4 will break the record made by this game though it could shift a lot of Gamecubes, you just know em Japanes gamers theyll buy anything to play the game they want so expect a lot of GCs to sell with the release of Resi 4 in Japan.

I think the X-Box will do well, but the PS2 will still kick its a**e. Yeah it has great graphics but with consoles nowadays they all have good graphics, it's the games that count though and the PS2 can produce any genre of game excellently, with the best still to come. When the dreamcast came out (and N64) it had far superior capabilities over the PS1 and had the backing of SEGA's great games, but this did not succed.
The price of PS2 will be much cheaper as well, we have seen since PS2 dropped to £199 sales have at least tripled. And by the time X-Box is released we will have MGS2, the Getaway, VF4, Tekken4....and games like SSX on budget!!, and the PS2 may be £160
Who wants to make Bill Gates even richer aswell?

Yeah they may say that, and i know they have made it official but think about it, when they soon relise the biggest batch of fans are PS 1&2 owners, and when they relise even more money will and can be made, i can see the games being ported to PS2.
Just give it time.
