I went to the Playstation experience at Earls Court in London and I can tell you PS2 is more popular than ever.
With Skateboarders, inline skaters and Bmx's performing tricks on the ramps situated outside Earls Court.
Then there was the thousands of people queuing to get in, when you did get in you were greated by massive projections of a whole host of AAA games like The Getaway, Stuntman, Smackdown, Lord of the Rings, Onimusha 2 the list goes on and on.
There must have been 500 ps2 connected to widescreen TV's with, all sorts of multiplayer fun going on, a on-line demonstration of Capcom's shell shaded racer 8 of us playing I came 3rd.
You could hardly get near Tekken 4 and Lord of the Rings which looked particularly impressive.
Then there was Kieron Dyer launching TIF2003 and Radio 1 DJ Emma B, rappers, break dancers and competitions. The whole event was very well organised even things like staff showing you how to play games like the Getaway which is not a Xmas killer ap I don't know what will be.
Playstation is in the sole and has tapped into what it means to be a gamer and culture that goes with it this is why PS2 rules because it is hip, happening and trendy not a kiddies machine or a uninteresting mid ranged PC (Xbox). Not to mention the best AAA Xmas range on any format GTA3 6million sold Halo 1million i rest my case.
The nearest you got to a taste of NInty and MS was in the ECTS trade show next door pity they didn't let any of the general public. Still never mind at least Sony know how to put a good show on for the users.

Techno Freak pull your hands out of your pants and stop getting so fanboyish about the PS2 for gods sake.
No-one actually likes you Techno Freak........

The fanboyomaniac is back.... as blinkered as ever.
I hate the phrase AAA titles - what the fcuk does it mean?
Some say: an AAA title is a game which appeals to a wide audience. But that means that FIFA 3056 is an AAA title. I think not.
My AAA titles are games which "I" think are very good.
Thus GT3 is not an AAA title (for me). Neither is MGS2 an AAA title (for me).
All this talk about AAA titles is just meaningless twaddle.

Personally, I look to the games for a console to impress me, not pointless public advertisements that charge me to participate.

Don't take the shortcomings of one random idiot and put it on the shoulders of decent men and women such as myself.
