to answer the questtion, you would have to define what being the best console is.  Is it, best looking?  best price?  best games?  best graphics?  most powerful? etc. etc.

as far as im concerned, the PS2 will have the games that i want more than any other console, therefore, as far as im concerned, PS2 will be the best.

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


In fact, Sony DENIED a price drop saying that they don\'t care what Nintendo or Microsoft does because people will still buy a $300 PS2 when Xbox and GameCube launch.
When all is said and done...the PS2 will be remembered as the console with the best games in Fall 2001.

WHat did you expect the VP of Sony to say.....he would have been fired if he mention that a price drop was coming....

Don\'t worry a price drop will come, there is no need to announce it now though.

Sony usually announces fall cuts at E3. They\'re not helping themselves if they hold back a announcement. Stop stating your hopeful price cut as if it was a fact.

the xbox is coming out almost two years after the ps2, AND at the same time as the game cube.

who buys most consoles.  parents.
if a parent walks into a strore, do u really think they will walk out of the store with an xbox?  no.

the xbox is going to crash and burn.  bill and his stockholders can throw all the money they have into advertising it, but the customer recognition just isnt there.   sure , theyll sell a few to the "ex hippie, turned techie" crowd.

just ask 3DO about having superior technology and no user base

:(

oh, and now i need facts?  personally, i dont care either way.  more than likely ill buy one used, cause im an oddworld freak, and it will be my only opportunity.

Well, all I\'m gonna do is wait for the YBox, I hear it\'ll be standard with 3D goggles and will play the new-to-come mini-DVD\'s.  Oh, and it will make a fine cup of joe, except that in our more proper neighboring countries it\'ll make a fine spot o\' tea.  It can also be integrated into an electronic razor-teeth puppy.

Oh boy, I can\'t wait! (snicker) But I\'ll be waiting for say. . . three months?

At least it won\'t flop like that 3 year old WBox!

1- Even faston doesn\'t deserve to be called names like that, and...

2-mm, your logic with Xbox is totally flawed. I don\'t know how someone who became a mod can be so dumb. Why?

  a-The average gamer is in there 20\'s. Mommies and  Daddies don\'t usually buy 20 yo\'s systems.

  b-Parents were easily swayed by the Sony name and marketing (PSone, pre-pokemon had the same child userbase as N64). If the marketing is done right, MS could sway plenty of parents.... not that MS even wants that. They made it clear, they\'re after Sony\'s more mature market.

  c-How long PS2\'s been out is irrelevant. At the end of XB\'s lifespan, they could very well have sold as many units as Sony had. Successful consoles have a pretty equal lifespan. Unless XB does crash and burn, PS2 will fade out before XB simply because it\'s life cycle is over.

  d-To declare a system will crash and burn 6 months pre-launch, pre-media exposure is quite uncalled for, and negligent.
