Sure, the PS2 didn\'t live up to all the hype created by Sony, the press, and the millions of PSX owners; But really, what console could have? The hype for the PS2 launch was enormous, and has yet to be matched by any other console. How long are you going to hold that against Sony though? Maybe you should look at all of the great things the PS2
does have and judge it on that instead of looking at what the PS2 does not have. Since its launch, the PS2 has got quite a few brand new, great video game series\' (DMC, J&D, Onimusha, Baldur\'s Gate: console version, SSX, Timesplitters, ICO), and also quite a few great sequels to older series\' (MGS2, GT3, GTA3, TTT). IMO, the PS2 is one of the greatest consoles ever due to its amazing past, present, and future games.
The Xbox is not living up to the hype either (graphics 3x better than the PS2\'s, online gaming out of the box[heh, latest rumors point to this fall at the earliest], a controller designed by gamers), but I\'m not going to hold that against it. The Xbox does have a few jems that perk my interest, and it has been surprisingly successful (sales wise) so far in America. The Xbox is powerful without a doubt, but without the support that power is going to be meaningless. The latest Japan sales figures aren\'t looking too good for the Xbox, and the European market in general is skeptical about it and its relatively high price. My point is that you shouldn\'t expect so much out of the Xbox, because you
may be disappointed like you were with the PS2. Only time will tell if the Xbox gets the support it deserves though, and if it lives up to all the hype.
