Video Games PS2 vs. GameCube vs. X-Box

PS2 PS2 PS2 is the best.

 

Thank you for that informative, well researched post.

 

For about ten minutes.

It took me next to no time to adapt to it. The only thing that took me a bit of getting used to was the new Z button position and the C-Stick. Thats it.

Elsewise, I had no trouble.

And yes, the X-Box is just a computer with a controller. Complete with crashes.

 

XBOX is MORE of a computer than PS2.
buuuuuuttttt................
DOA BEACH VOLLEY BALL is on XBOX
so, my liking for x-box goes up 1 percent.
actually. 2 percent.
nonono. 3.

i might get it. xbox.
maybe. if i have money (which i dont)

 

I am going to have to agree with everything blood_pheonix said. And X Box games do eventually come out for the PC or even for other consoles even if it is an X Box exclusive game. You just have to wait a year or two which does not bother me. Wasn't Splinter Cell an X Box exclusive game, now it is coming out for all the consoles. Because of that reason and the fact Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Skies of Arcadia Legends are either coming out or already out and are only for GC is the reason the next console I am going to buy is the GameCube.

 

If you choose the X-Box solely because of its graphics, does that mean you chose the N64 over the PS1? In my country, Nintendo doesn't go very far in attracting consumers over 15. Being a 17-yr old, I must express dislike over the GC.

The X-Box definitely has some nasty games. But without online capabilities, games such as Halo become very repetitive. The best racing game is Initial D Arcade Stage II, which is most likely coming out on the PS2. The PS2 will also have the better fighting games - after all it's a Japanese-orientated system. Games such as DOA and Tekken just aren't good enough. A button masher with no brains can pull off 9 hit combos with characters such as Ayane (DOA I/II/III) or Hwang (Tekken III/IV). Games such as KOF,and MOTW are what I would consider as sophisticated beat-em-ups (gameplay-wise).

We could expect the "jock"/"skip" culture to dominate X-Box games. Tony Hawks anybody? Frankly I don't like Tony Hawks.

Besides, the PS2 seems to be the only console that offers MMORPG at the moment. Unless X-Box can secure the release of a MMORPG with a good reputation or Shenmue III on their system, it is highly likely that I will not buy it.

While Shenmue II can probably compete with the FF series, Grandia, Xenosaga etc etc on PS2, it is a Sega game and I have a DC. ^_^

So my vote goes to the PS2 because I am much more of a J-fanboy than a "jock".

 

y diss tekken for?
i LOVE that game...
button mashers give me the shits, but if u r truly great at tekken, than, u can beat anyone. (eva_001 is a good tekken player. he can beat me anytime wif paul, and he dosnt button mash at all, he knows wat hes doing)
but................
i agree wif u. PS2!

 

Well, my vote went for Gamecube. Could be because I've never really played PS2 or XBox. I hear so many different things about XBox. My cousin hates them and the guys from my church seem to worship them. PS2 seems pretty cool, I might get one sometime.

 

You are the only person I know who thinks the 64 had better graphics.

Every system has Tony Hawk. Hell, Gameboy Advance has a Tony Hawk game.

Besides, some games, we don't play with the intent of being cool.

Some we play just to torture the player character.

edit: Also, many many many people will buy BMX XXX just so they can see some boobies. Not to be cool.

Gamecube. Phantasy Star Online.

 

Hey come on, we got to admit that the Xbox is western-orientated. There might be other consoles with Tony Hawk's too... but Xbox is dominated by them!

 

[xbox] with live, it may be $50 for the starter kit: headset, two demos, and for the year; there's free downloads (and patches if needed) online, pretty much every month(varies on game and luanch date). i have ps2, but i thought xbox would be a better bet for online gaming...
[PS2]
(i dont have it online enabled)i dont know about the ps2 online, i have that socom game but not that adapter thing. and someone told me you pay a bill separate for servers or something?? this cant be right...

 

Mmmm, though choice...
Gamecube and ps2 would definetly be the best ones...
the gamecube has many good titles known to me...the ps2 does have many good titles, too, as it's always been, i just need to find them...
the x-box...nah, not so many good titles imo.
Although, i can play both gamecube and ps2 so that's ok for me

 

In lastest news the PS2 Is still selling more systems then the X-box and Game Cube.. So that in itself should tell you that the only way to go is Sony.. Unless you just wont one or to games that the other systems have..

And that new DOA beach volleyball game the X-box has just goes to show you have much money Microsoft is willing to spend to attrack more buyers for the X-box!

KAME

 

does anyone have a site, as in an official non-biased site where it tells the actual statics of sales and stuff?
cause i hate it when people make up bullshit.
like some guy i know said that x-box sold more consols than ps2 when it reached its half year, and first year mark. and then he goes on about all other ****, like "xbox has more games coming out at the moment than ps2." or "x-box is planning to buy sony".
my ****ing arse, dickhead.

 

Gee, calm down.
I think we can safely assume, though, that the ps2 has most games out as it has been out longest of all the consoles.
And yes, since the last time i checked on a sales list, the ps2 sold like 50.000 units and the gamecube/x-box not even about 10.000 i think...

But it might change, though. It's an old list and the sales for the cube has gone up with the free offer they're authoring.
