How did you get such crazy numbers?? The X-Box will be launching for $299, and the price of the PS2 will be lowered to $199 to match Microsoft.

IMO, judging by the games, I think the X-Box is the best out of all three consoles.

HAHAHAH...Where in the world did you get that sort of reasoning that ps2 will be lowered to 199.99. Sony has NOT announced anything that even makes you think they will lower the price. All this ps2 is going to be cheaper is just some rumor some fanboy made up.

Let just stick to the facts and not what we think will happen, because no one in here works for sony.

Sony has announced a price cut in Japan (never said by how much!), it\'s just a matter of time \'til the rest of us feel the benefits, although, most of us already bought a PS2.  But maybe having one for each room of the house is not a bad idea!

Darkelf_14 is obviously someone else just trying to piss everyone off. Look at his/her post count, then ignore him/her. Seriously, you only validate the posters intent by responding.

I\'ll take your word for it then, since I\'m not a huge Sony follower. Common sense tells me though that Sony will be reducing the PS2\'s cost somewhat to meet the prices of the X-Box and the NGC.

That is not a fact, just speculation.

Clyde\'s done a disservice to us.... why\'d he let you out?

Your logic is unsupported by a single fact, despite your misuse of the word. You can say it\'s very unlikely that it won\'t match PS2s user base, but you can\'t factually state anything of the sort.

Economic fact?  Can you provide us with an accurate data (or experiment) of the number of "buyers of consoles" to derive further proof of your assessment.  I bet you can\'t because their is none.  Everything you just said is a mere speculation and not in line with fact, so you have no right to claim it as such when it is obvious it is just your opinion.  Also, it has no groundwork of support, fact, or verity to support anything you just said.  For a veteran forum member, and a mod yourself, I am quite disappointed.  Shouldn\'t you know any better?

Ps2 will proably end up doing better.  But xbox is more powerful and has some good games coming.  Both xbox and ps2 have one thing in common?  They both have better 3rd party support than gamecube.
