Well Sony is suffering from a 18% drop in consoles sold. So there gonna drop the price to keep up with XboX. They said in April PS2 sold 200,000 and Xbox sold 275,000.
Man, I love PS2 but Xbox is catching up. They need to make the graphics even.
or not.

They need to make the graphics even
i am scared ><
-
I have no idea what you mean by saying they need to make the graphics even, but the Xbox, in overall sales, is by no means even close to the dust the PS2 has left in its trail. Xbox may be winning in sales currently for the months when Microsoft dropped its price, but it is definitely not catching up to how many Playstation 2\'s have sold. Simply put, Sony will drop their price around the time of E3 in 2-3 weeks. There\'s no hurry on Sony\'s part.

Think its Close or past 70 million PS2 world wide. (but i think thats a figure i read (LAST october).
The X box is finding it hard to shake off the NGC for second place at 17 million.
so thats
70 million Vs 17 million....
Deadpool Do the MATH

And I will say it again and again PS2 NEEDS A GRAPICS UPDATE.

How bout you elaborate a little, mm.
-
i believe the phrase is:
if you have to ask, you\'ll never know
-
Hahaha... oh man... a graphics update?
"Hey guys, you get the PS2\'s newest graphic update?!"
PS2 Graphic Update = PS3
-

Sony may have won the "console wars" (whatever).But its worth noticing that the XBOX reputation is increasing.This will have an effect on the next generation.
-
yeah, the effect that m$ loses even more money and japan still ignores them
-
XBOX currently sells more than PS2.No?
Wether M$ is losing more money or not it has nothing to do with the brands reputation.
As for Japan, XBOX may sell even worse than PS1 (last time I checked) but in other regions its gaining more attention and popularity.
-
uhm isn\'t it only logical that ps2 sales will lag? being they sold the majority of consoles this generation everybody practically has one so it only makes sense that sales would slow down & for some that means now it\'s time to pick up the xbox...nothing to worry about..and deadpool ps2 does not need a graphics upgrade...:p
-
But it still shows that PS2 doest fully satisfy their gaming needs.XBOX seems to offer games that gamers seek a lot.It has more "popularity" power than first believed.
And also to sum things up....why not the Gamecube?
Conclusions next...

ever think that just about everyone who wants one, has bought one :rolleyes:
ps2 > xbox
there was never a competition
-
So what games are you playing on your PS2 at the moment mm?

Are you refering to the PS2?If you are Clips already mentioned that and I answered
ps2 > xbox
there was never a competition
There is another aspect in the market you seem to ommit which is the reputation.The XBOX is building a lot of reputation.It hasnt and will never match the PS2 in terms of fame.But in the long term this is building for the future and as you can see from my first post thats what I mentioned.
Someone that bought a PS2 and then buys an XBOX most chances are the XBOX wont be kept in a closet.It was bought for a reason.And this affects the consumer\'s opinion.The effects will be "visible" in the future.And also I ll ask again the same question.Why not a Gamecube?Why arent there more people that want a Gamecube?
-
building what reputation?
how many more price cuts it gonna take?
why does every semi-decent xbox title end up on PC?
lately, been playing alot of space hulk : vengeance of the blood angels on my PS2
-
bottom line is microsoft has deep pockets it can afford to take the losses this time around..learn from it\'s mistakes and improve on them...i haven\'t gotten one yet & probably won\'t i was contemplating getting one just for ninja gaiden but i\'ve dropped off the hype for that..plus i really can\'t see buying three consoles that basically have the same games anyway..
that said that is why the dreamcast didn\'t last (well the sony hype killed some of it) bit sega just didn\'t have the financials to proceed further..and by all means dreamcast games was lookin better than some ps2 games..remember the 1st time you saw soul caliber?..you need huge financials to survive in the console business..gamecube may be last but it\'s reaping the rewards with it\'s gameboy advance..i see sony\'s machine takin a very small chunk out of it but nintendo\'s gameboy will still dominate...
-
aye, just like sony will continue to dominate
-
xbox doesn\'t look good to me. Doesn\'t look good to most of my friends either. Every A+ game thats on xbox has ended up on pc. Or is sold on pc too. So i\'ll just stick with my pc... :)
btw, ps2 does need a graphics update. Its a full update called ps3... nooob.

The GC is even cheaper than XBOX and it never sold more than PS2.
I wonder how much would have the XBOX sold if it had the same price as the GC from the beginning

alot of people from the door knew the ps2 was going to have the excellent follow up titles from the psone...even if x-box released with the same price as the cube it wasn\'t certain what triple a titles the system was going to have until later on...people would have with the sony machine because that\'s where the GAMES were at..
-
Now why isnt the GC chosen as much?Its got its triple AAA games.This gives the impression that the XBOX offers more

i just think nintendo can\'t shake that kiddie image imo..yeah it has some mature games res evil & a couple others,..but iknow when i hook up with my menz it\'s always"yo lets go smash some xbox or lets play the playstation" maybe it\'s a little ignorant but that\'s the feeling i get from nintendo...that\'s why i bought my son one because it had all those mario titles on it...but i will be getting res evil 4 for myself..i know i\'am :evil:
