I am very surprised at a lot of Playstation 2 owners and fans, some PS2 owners are going on about trading their PS2 in for an X-Box and the PS2 fans are saying that the X-Box will be better than the PS2 and that the X-Box will become the best next-gen console.
Just because the X-Box seems to be more powerful doesn't make it a top console, everybody has seen the screenshots of 'Halo' and yes it does look fantastic but can the X-Box keep on dishing out top selling games?
Anybody remember when 'Goldeneye' arrived on the N64, this was a fantastic game, pure brillance, but it did not stop the N64 from becoming an oversized paper weight and it didn't stop the Playstation from coming out on top of the console wars.
So why do PS2 ownwers and fans worry over the X-Box?
Also not forgetting the Gamecube which I predict to be the biggest contender to the PS2, with the X-Box in the lime light at the moment Gamecube has been very quiet and seems to have kept out of the console wars but the Gamecube has had a very sucessful launch, even better than the X-Box.
So why worry over the X-Box when Sony's Playstation 2 is well established all over the world and the X-Box is now trying to break onto the market.
In a few months when the next-gen console wars settle down you will see the same old story with Sony taking a strong hold on the market and taking a back seat will be Microsoft and Nintendo.
So to all you PS2 owners just stick with your good PS2 as its destined to come out on top.
As you have seen what happened to the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, Sega's first and second attempt ended their console making and now Sega stick to making games, so Microsoft are taking a step into unknown waters as they try to compete against two of the biggest gaming giants in the world, Sony and Nintendo, and when Microsoft has never made a console for just gameplay lets see what they can do with their attempt.
Will the X-Box survive and live to become a respected console or will it end up being used to mark where treasure is buried.
Only time will tell and soon all PS2 owners will see LOYALTY pays.
