Title: compare consoles
Post by: meloshe on August 16, 2002, 06:24:24 AM
i want to purchase a game console and i would like some feedback on what the better console is and why...
playstation2 or xbox?
from what i have heard, right now, ps2 has more games,(plus you can use your old ps1 games ) and you don\'t need any type of adaptor to use the console as a dvd player...also i was told that the xbox is a better machine (actually a hybrid of a pc and a video game) ...and supposedly in the future when online gameing involving these two gets started the xbox will be the better buy.
IS ANY OF THIS TRUE?
I\'D LIKE A LITTLE ADVICE FROM YOU GAMING EXPERTS OUT THERE PLEASE...
OR SHOULD I JUST RESORT BACK TO WHAT SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS...EENIE, MEENIE, MYNEE, MOE....

PS2 has more games.

XBox (usually) has better graphics

Both have an equally good online plan (although different)

online gaming IS NOT the future of console gaming

you really couldnt go wrong with any of the three

PS2 - larger base of games

xbox - slightly better graphics

ngc - exclusive titles  (mario, zelda)

thats about all there is to say
