Popular Science Compares the consoles: GameCube, PS2 and Xbox

I used to all the time.  It is actually a very good and up-to-date magazine.  That is another reason why I think this article has been paid for.  In all the years that I have read it, I have never seen an article this biased -- not even when the overly-hyped PS2 was the system in the spotlight in the Summer of 2000.

.............what I subscribe to.........

one word.....

Maxim.

LOL ddaryl, that\'s the best advice yet. IronFist and others, I can\'t say that I quite agree with your POV but I realize that you can\'t agree with mine, so let\'s call a truce and end this difference in opinion.

Of course.  But what\'s the need for a truce?  I don\'t have anything against you for what you said.  I just have a different point of view than you do.

...and end this difference in opinion.

Sorry, but my opinion is staying the same.  Just because we have a difference in opinion doesn\'t mean we can\'t get along though.  See you in the next Console Debating thread.

There is no way that article was paid for.  It would be very bad PR if that ever got out and MS has been getting many glowing unsolicited write-ups without its money.  Why would they risk the integrity of all of those honest opinions for one article in a 3rd rate magazine?  It makes no sense.

The reason Microsoft would risk it all is because, really, they need to.  They are fighting an uphill battle and need to pull every trick in the book in order to be successful.  This one biased article could persuade millions of people to buy an Xbox over the PS2 and NGC -- so I think it is well worth the risk of getting caught.  But there really is no way to prove one way or the other, so, meh.

MS is doing really well right now, there is no need to panic.  Accuastions like that sounds like stuff straight out of ign.ps2, totally ridiculous.

oh my god.... He did not just say that project gotham is thhe best driving simulator around.... "gives reviewer a swift kick in the ass"


   What a maroon, like said above, "it\'s all about the gameplay, not the graphics" and to say X Box is better mearly because the graphics and not the game is obsured, now i own both consoles and have had a good time playng each, PS2 is the best hands down, the big selection of games "good games for that matter" eclipse X Boxes selection, but mostly all "excluding FF series" will be ported to the X Box in due time. w can\'t judge X Box gameplay wise just yet because it only launched 2 months ago. we will have to give it more time to bloom before we start making any "X Box games suck" comments to do it now is just rediculouse.


well anyways PS2 is the best of the 2 at the moment, but X Box still kicks ass.

This article is dumb.  For reading it, we have all been penalized several IQ points.  However, I am going to avoid letting anyone post anything more regarding this heeping pile of cow dung.  Topic closed.
