Konami annonced that they are going to release metal gear solid x on the XBOX. It will be exactly the same as the PS2 version with a few extras. This would have been the only reason people that you would want to get a PS2. Wait for the XBOX it will be better i gaurantee. Now I have no reson to buy the PS2. One thing aswell people if you are buying the PS2 for it's in build dvd palyer, DON'T instead buy a dreamcast 3 games and a dvd palyer for the same price. It makes sense doesn't it.

At the moment I own a Dreamcast(release day), PS2(release day), PS1(chrismas 96), N64(christmas 97) and I got a alright PC. I hardly play games on the PC apart from Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. Havent played on the N64 for ages(well over a year , the last game I had was 2 years ago), PS has been replaced by the Dreamcast and PS2. I like games so I am not biased on what machine is better as if the PS2 doesnt do aswell as the new X-box or Gamecube as long as there are a load of good games then I dont mind. Owning the 2 next gen consoles(DC,PS2) gives me the chance to play all the great games like Shenmue , TTT , Timesplitters etc. I wouldnt mind selling my N64 but as I will get harldy anything for it I might aswell keep it and get some of the good games (Perfect Dark) when the price goes down to a fiver. I still hope the Dreamcast still has a couple of years left as there are some amazing games for it and I dont think that I would ever sell it as I own around 24 games for it.

Hear hear. I'm sure many here have more than one console in their collection. Just get on and play the games you wanna play.
Consoles being disposable consumer electronic items ALL come AND go, VCS, PC Engine, Mega Drive, DC, PS1, PS2 and XBox have and will all be replaced.
It's all in the curve of the product lifecycle. After a sharp rise and level out, they all meet (without exception) that inevitable drop of the lifecycle curve. And publishers / investors identify and target those platforms that have the highest peak and longest mid-life forcast (Imagine the profile of a round hill with a flattened top, the left slope steeper than the right, that's rougly the shape of a lifecycle plot).
On this chart, XBox isn't even in the running yet, it's all based on forecasts. At the ECTS in London recruiters were hiring lemons (all manner of fruit indeed) if they even hinted they'd do Xbox programming. Walking around, if you had a badge marked "Programmer" it was like being asked to buy a "Big Issue" every 50 yards. "Ardvark Swift, would you like to sign up? Good rates for XBox team members".
At the end of the day, the youth market is attracted by image and buying into the lifestyle that image portrays. Now Sony's image is music, electronic consumer gadgets, guy things.
Microsoft have a serious image problem with the X-Box that they need to overcome. Microsoft represents the bad world of buisness, PCs, geeks and Bill Gates. It's not a problem Sony or Sega have.
Remember, betamax was better than VHS but the VHS format won out, this was attributed entirley to the availability of the software available for the medium (pornography was widly available on VHS and not on betamax, hence VHS players outsold betamax in the region of 20:1).
The technology may change, but human factors don't.
