I have never been able to understand why people are so competitive over the popularity of a console.
It's a form of household entertainment for god's s*ke.

Does it really matter how many units a particular company have managed to sell within a period of time?. So what if the PS2 has sold more than the xbox(which it obviously has because it has been around for far longer), it's not exactly gonna make the console much better all of a sudden, it's not as if it's just suddenly going to get better graphics because of it.

I believe that as long as u enjoy what ever form of entertainment system u have then your fine aren't ya.

There are some people out there who would probably much prefer to have a blast on pokemon for the original game boy than play on 1 of the 'super' consoles.

It's almost becoming like a league of some sort where the one at the top of the list (the equivelent to the almighty Arsenal), seems to be much better than the rest.
But just because the PS2 has sold more than the xbox it doesn't necesseraly make it better, because in my humble opinion it isn't.

I am quite fortunate to own both consoles and from my own experience, i get much more satisfaction from the xbox.
At the end of the day it's all about personal opinions and satisfaction.

Sum people might get their thrills from reading a book whereas others may get it from jumping from the top floor of a 150 story skyscraper.

Good day to u all.
