I know this might sound really childish but i beleive that the ps2 will absolutley wipe the flaw with Bill Gates' Microsoft X-Box, after all Bill Gates' is after a big sale to put him back as the richest man in the world.
On paper the x-box is a lot more powerful than the ps2, but i think that the up and coming games that are to be released on the ps2 are enough to make nybody think twice about purchasing an x-box.
Wreckless which was a very anticipated x-box title has just been recently released and it scored a low 67% which isn't good for level we expected. The only x-box game to live up to the hype so far is Halo, Halo is a futuristic shooter that has captured the imagination of the gaming world but it isn't enough to make people go and buy an x-box alone on the facts that it is ground-breaking.
The x-box can deliver the graphics and sound but the gameplay of the launch titles hasen't matched to what the gaming public were expecting. Microsoft are best left designing software for computers and they should leave the consoles to the might of Sony and the not so might of Nintendo.
Sony ever since the release of the Playstation 1 have ruled the gaming world and taken us one step closer to our ideal gaming world, games like Tomb-Raider, Tekken and Metal Gear Solid just to list a few have taken gaming into the 21st century.
The ps2 isn't listed as powerful as the x-box but the games that sony produce and other top gaming companies for the ps2 seem to rule the gaming market. Why don't Namco release Tekken 4 for the x-box? They know that the x-box will not sell as many copies as the ps2 because Sony have built respect between themselves and their customers. Nintendo tried to break into the chain of the Sony boom by releasing The N-64, but as we all know, it was a disaster bar a few top titles.
The ps2 can match the x-box on graphics, sound and gameplay even though the x-box is deemed more powerful than the ps2. When the x-box is released in the U.K it won't have an impact. When the ps2 was released there was chaos as people wanted to buy it straight away as they knew that the quality that Sony delivers is far greater then any other company.
Sony are well known in the electrical business for their class and quality in the products they design, Sony know what the public want with electrical equipment whether it be a Wide-Screen TV or latest MP3 player.
X-box cannot compeat with Sony from any corner, even on the x-box' first appearence there was a huge prolem and Bill Gates was left on stage with a boffed console and a dissappointed gaming public.
All of the people who I have spoken to agree that the x-box cannot match the might of the ps2, most of my friends got ps2' for christmas and they are all getting one for the release of Metal Gear Solid 2 which is sure to kill off the x-box which is launched a couple of weeks later.
Microsoft are respected for what they do, over priced pc equipment but at least it is quality, but they obviously haven't done any market reaserch with the price of the x-box, £300 without a game, they must be stupid, who in the right mind is going to shell out so much on a console that requires a new house to for storage space.
Now the ps2 is at a reasonable price and with yet another promised price-cut by Sony it is sure to conquer the not yet U.K appeared Microsoft X-box!
Which console do you beleive will win this ever entertaining was, are you with me on this one or do you think that the X-box is a dark horse that will make me eat my words and get one for this coming christmas.
Thankyou for reading and please give me your views.

X-box will do alright because it comes in a nice looking box. Seriously. That intellectual argument is all I have to add.
the x-box is bound to do reasonably well but i dont think it will do better than the might of SONY, i never said anything about rushing the ps3 but by the time it comes out the x-box will be long gone, the x-box will only do well if they release a chain winning series like tomb raider or metal gear solid, but so far there is nothing in the way of a winning series announced on the microsoft x-box!

But gameplay is down to that person. Alot of people say the X-Box launch games are rubbish and the GC are better. But too me its the other way around. I want to play Halo, Project Gotham, Dead Or Alive 3, Jet Set Radio Future and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, more than I want any of the GC titles. The only GC title that I really want is Resident Evil. Iam going to get a GC in the summer and will get Luigis Mansion, Wave Race, Rogue Leader and Super Smash Brothers aswell. These games are good, but I dont have a strong erg to play them.

PS3 will be years away. If Sony are stupid enough to rush the PS3 out then many millions of people will probably feel cheated on buying the PS2. Sony are ahead in the games market so far, but thats because they have had a head start. The PS2 is still out selling the X-Box and GC in America, but both the GC and X-Box are doing well.

Sony how ever are striking a brillaint lend of both amazing graphics and excellent gameplay, not any other console has done that to date, Sony will out sell the x-box because when it comes around to the release of the ps3 the x-box will just be like the dreamcast, a console that is dying away and are producing their last games.
Graphics aren't everything as the C&C generation showed us that gameplay is equallly if not more important, the psone killed off the N-64 because the games were more quality an involved a lot more adventure but nintendo are still living today but i dont think they will beat the ps2 and x-box i just don't think they are powerful enough to bring out games to the quality of these two mighty consoles, good price on the game cube though i hope they can prove me wrong!

Thats your opinion, true sony games had the license and styles that were new, but i always felt these games has sheer quality of great gaming. They may not have had as good of graphics as N64, but graphics are not everything right?

Nintendos games were fun, mario kart, diddy kong racing and a whole list of other games, but all their games seemed to appeal to the younger generation of gamers, Sony added class and style like LL stated, games like MGS and Tomb Raider braught adult gamers onto the scene who had had enough of Nintendo and wanted a change, the gamecube might change Nintendo again but we will just have to wait and see.
The N64 was class, the graphics were superior to other consals, the games were great especially nintendo and Rareware ones, in the end the price came down quite dramatically. The reason it did'nt do to well was because of the new wave of gamers that sony created, the ones who go for license and style over quality and great gaming.
you are the one thats arguing i am just saying that i don't like nintendo, not that everyone should say what i say as everyone said, we are all entitled to our own oppinions and no-one person is better than the rest just because they beleive otherwise, stop jumping down my throat when i am claery just telling you how i feel.
