with the GameCube and the X-box to contend with
i think the Ps2 is heading for the bottom, as both the new ones have tones of quality games heading for the shops although GTA vice city is gonna be a block buster, and send the GC and the Brick, i mean Xbox packing for a while, although they will rise with other titles in the future !

Hur hur. Going down.
ye ye, going down
hey, a decent thread for a change... he's learning
The lack of Tombraider this xmas means there's only GTA Vice worth buying, and that's essentially GTA 3 with an 80's flavour - Timesplitters 2 and MGS 2 have been the only things to impress me this year. Sure, theres been good games on the PS2, but nothing memorable for me. Gamecube ? Everything I've played so far stands out, not sure about Xbos as I don't own one, but the stuff out there looks good.

Tomb Raider games are down right awful.
I've never liked any of them.
What about The Getaway? Isn't that out this year and supposidly good?

Yes, I'm sure it will.
Just as soon as it stops outselling the other two combined.
Wouldn't hold your breath for that one, though.

You should have put supposedly in brackets. It's like saying the Titanic wasn't "supposed" to sink. Still did though. The Getaway looks rubbish, no matter how many FMV sequences they put on OPS2 cover discs.
To beat Sony, Xbox and Gamecube don't have to outsell the PS2, they just have to shift more software because thats where the money is...just because someone has bought a PS2 doesnt mean they still buy games - at least 2 people where I work have one and only use it for DVDs, admitedly one of them has 2 games she says she doesn't play.

But a console's success is measured in unit sales, not game sales.
Besides, more unit sales = more games sales. Currently, 10% of PS2 owners purchasing a certain game would equate to more sales than 100% of Xbox/Gamecube owners buying the same title.
For example, I'm sure Dreamcast sold many games, but it didn't help the console.
