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.

Well a few people have said that they have seen 77% in one magazine. No iam not pro X-Box, iam unbiased. I have owned the PS2 from day one, pre-ordered it before it was even released in Japan. I have an X-Box on order and will get a GC in the summer. I enjoy playing video games so owning all 3 consoles is the way to enjoy all the good games. And I also have been waiting for MGS2 since they first annoucned it. I was merely pointing out that even great games can get mixed reviews.

I will do on March 14th. I think the X-Box will sell loads. One thing you say is that Tekken 4 isnt coming to the X-Box because Namco know it wont sell, I would say that is completely wrong. If that was right then why is Resident Evil a GC exclusive, maybe Capcom think that it wouldnt sell on any other console. Sony probably own exlcusive rights for the Tekken series, the same as Nintendo own the exclusive rights for the Resident Evil games.
X-Box wont beat the PS2 manily due to Sonys popularity and head start. Most casual gamers like Sony, all there mates probably own one and its the "Cool" console to have. Where as Nintendo are selective about the games and appeal to a so hardcore gamer. X-Box will have its place in the market with both casual and hardcore gamers.
The X-Box has some great games on the way aswell as great games out now(March 14th and the few weeks after). Wreckless has been getting mixed reviews from respected gaming magazines and websites, but so has MGS2. The Offical PS2 mag gave it 10/10 while other indepent magazines have only scored it in the 70-80 % range.
Overall the X-Box, PS2 and GC are all good consoles, they have there own range of good games aswell as the games that will be available on all three consoles.

Yeah i suppose at times it is good, its just sometimes it gets annoying when someone comes saying that one console is better than another with no real facts or information.
Yours was not too bad.

My view on this subject is that it is boring. Nothing wrong with you post as such but this discussion is now boring and doesnt really matter which is better. Both are different consoles with different specs and different games, and thats the key thing, they have a different games. All three of the next gen consoles will offer us a different style of play. What im saying is that it doesent matter if the X-box has better graphics than the PS2, if the PS2 has the games that you want to play then that is the best console, and like wise if you think the X-box has better games then that is the better console, its down to which you prefer.
But i honestly think all the consoles will be succesfull.
