Title: Do you think xBox will outbeat PS2??
Post by: savage10 on August 19, 2001, 02:53:15 PM
What do you guys think? I have looked at its specs and just by that, everything is better than PS2.

People who go by specs are mindless zombies. It\'s the games that counts, and Xbox severely lacks in that department while PS2\'s line-up looks to have for more great games. \'Nuff said.

Mindless zombies?? Well, if you\'re given 2 computers to choose from, a pentium 1Ghz and a pentium Celeron, which one would you choose?? Do you still need to test it out first??

No, I don\'t think the Xbox will "outbeat" the PS2.  I\'m sure it will have plenty of great games, but I doubt it\'ll be enough to overshadow the PS2\'s lineup.

And Jumpman\'s right... When it comes to a console\'s success, specs mean nothing.

I\'m sorry. Could the moderator move this to the "console debating"?

Outbeat or not.....we\'ll see in few months later. Not that I\'m supporting xbox, but I\'m just wondering how strong they\'ll stand against PS2.

And if Microsoft forces consumers to pay up to 1,200 then Xbox will bomb

I highly doubt that X-Box will outbeat PS2. People usually go by the quality of the games and the quality of the PS2 games in my opinion will be better. Just take a look at PSX, N64, and DC and PSX was the best because it had better quality games even though it had the worse specs.
This is the order of systems from best to worst. Note:This is my opinion
PS2, XBox, NGC

again, you are going by specs. certianly, if i was to be able to choose from a celeron of a 1 ghz processor, i would choose the 1 ghz. the reason why that isnt a good comparison is because all the games coming out for bothe the computers are the same.

in otherwords, the games that are set up to be on the xbox are not what i want. they only get tony hawk proskater 2X, while ps2 owners get THPS3!(tony hawk pro skater 3) IMO, the games that are lined up for the ps2 interst me MUCH MORE than the lineup for x box.

if you look at past systems, what has prevailed? the system with better graphics? or the system with the best games?
when that happened with the n64 and PSX, the PSX had better games, so it won by a long shot.  there is a very very slim chance that microsoft will beable to compete with the ps2 because the majority of japan does not like the x box, and the ps2 already has a userbase of 15 million + and climbing by the day.

and given microsoft\'s newstrategy to sell their console, well i could almost place money on xbox not winning.

come on, im not the debater, but i think i can handle you.:thepimp:

I may have started this by saying that a Soul Caliber on GameCube thread dosn\'t need to be in consoule debating. BEcause it isn\'t.

However this is a debate. One about Consoules. So this hsould go into that forum.

I can\'t believe people still think that You can only buy X-Box in package deals.

Man, you guys are thick headed.

Or are my posts transparent?

maybe this will help

PEOPLE WHO PRE-ORDERED X-BOX WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT WILL NOT HAVE TO BUY THEIR SYSTEMS IN PACKAGE DEALS. ONLY THOSE WHO MISSED THE BOAT WILL HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR THE PACKAGE DEALS. AND THIS IS ONLY FOR THE IDIOTS WHO STILL THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE ONE ON LAUNCH. H

HERE IS A BETTER OPTION. DON\'T PREORDER ONE NOW. WAIT TIL THE SECOND SHIPMENT COMES IN AND GRAB ONE FOR $300.

MAN YOU GUYS ARE THICK HEADED. "oh microsoft is FORCING us to preorder. Oh Microsoft is forcing us to pay 600 dollars. Oh Microsoft,etc." Quiot whining.


Point clear?

That\'s completely different. Of course your going to pick the higher powered computer. However with choosing consoles it\'s radically different. A true gamer would look past the specs and into their gaming libraries. PS2 wins over Xbox in that department easily.

1) What is "outbeat" ?

2) When buying a console - the casual consumer can\'t be bothered with spec\'s. They look for games and franchises. Something the Xbox is currently lacking. Then , there is the true gamers who don\'t look at spec\'s also. Of course, there is a few idiots out there who have the idea that "bigger is always better", when it isn\'t. Still, for the most part, the masses look at games not specs when it comes to game systems.
