Xbox vs. PS2

call me dumb again and we\'ll see how i became an ADMIN. [not a mod]

the average gamer is NOT in thier 20\'s

what are the best selling games on any console?  FRICKIN POKEMON!  any 20 year playing these should be shot

even the ps1 life cycle is not over and its been 9 years almost.  the n64 will die before the ps1 does, and it came out 2 years later. *cough* superior technology *cough* hell, look at the ill fated dreamcast.  great console that didnt catch on.  

xbox will be out in  4 months, not 6.  and im assuming you forgot the 3DO incident, unless yer not old enough to remember

1-So your a dumb admin, not mod. I don\'t care, I bite my tongue for no one.

2-Yes, the average gamer IS in their 20\'s. Mid 20\'s actually. Read some of the ****ING market research done by the IDSA in the last 10 years.

3-Plenty of 20 yo\'s play Pokemon. It\'s a decent little RPG, despite it\'s kiddie appeal.

4-4 1/2 months, i\'ll give you that, but not 4. The rest of June, July, August, September, October, a week of November. I have a 3DO \'son\', you won\'t be schooling me on gaming history anytime soon.


*Edit* on your added response: PSone\'s been out 6 years, N64 5. If Nintendo chose to continue bringing out its games on N64, the market would be there.

u lost yer posting privlidges for a week
this is my forum dont forget

we are entitled to our opinions about games and consoles, BUT WE ARE NOT entitled to express our opinions about each other.  you have NO right to call me dumb, and u will not post for it

What if a senior member insults us, o totalitarian one?

Let\'s play a game.

What do these people have in common?

Saddam Hussien, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro, MM.

Note: It\'s only an insult if you guess RIGHT.

Hey... mm isn\'t anything like hitler... mm is much worse..

Infact.. so am i. We like too ban.. hehehehe ban gooood.

MM:  By your logic it would seem that the PS2 is dead.  If parents are the ones buying the consoles they are not going to choose the dated system with violent games.  Instead they will pick up the very friendly looking GCN with its assortment of happy first-party titles.

Of course, that does not work out because kids do not ask thier parents to go "buy me a console", rather they ask them to go "buy me a PS2/Xbox/GCN etc".

I don\'t ever remeber asking my parents for the Nintendo or Sega, I just got \'em as christmas gifts!  I think today kids are more likely to ask for a particular game than a system.  It\'s the parents job to put two and two together to come up with getting the console as well.  (I recall this from giftwrapping at Toys "R" Us last Christmas.)

So if the game is on more than one platform, heh, we\'ve got a decision.  But for the vast majority of consols sold, the user makes the big decision.

directbox, does this give u any indication of the way ive run things here for the last few years?



you can scamper right back to msbox forums if u dont like it

i NEVER, NEVER said the xbox is bad, did i? i ALSO said in a previous post, that i WILL buy a used one [bill aint getting my 300$] so i can play oddworld.

i merely said yer precious console wont match the ps2\'s, or the GC\'s installed user base.    

now please go cry elsewhere

LOL MM, you crack me up.  I love when you get into arguments with people.  LOL, the first thing you say is something along the lines of, "this is MY forum" and/or "I will ban you!" haha.  Watching "kommunism" is pretty funny, heh.

Ok! Let´s see. What do we have here?
Hmm. I´m to old for this kind of bull****!

Please somebody just remove this topic.........
Why?
It´s pathetic.

MM it is my opinion(not calling you names) that you are talking through your ass. I really don\'t understand where you are coming from, but hey your entitled to your own opinion. Go buy your USED XBOX I don\'t care, but 2-3  years from now, we will see who has the last laugh. I remember when people said the same about PS1, that it will never be able to match Nintendo and Sega\'s user base. Funny how things turned out.

This is MM\'s forum..

As far as I know, MM helped Björn the Great build up this forum.. That was over 1½ year ago.
MM has the right to ban anyone who call people names.

Thats what I think.

What happend to my other post??
Good thing I had my post in the cut and paste memory

Well its totaly diffrent now..
When PS1 entered the market N64 had been delayed, Saturn was a flop.
The N64 also had a cartage no CD..

Very bad..

Things are diffrent now.
PS2 has a massive userbase, and its growing every day.
PS2s AAA games are just starting to come out.
FFX, MGS2 ect. well sell extra systems.
So will a pricedrop..

GC will be released 3 whole days before Xbox.

Im sure Xbox will do pretty well for a new system.
But I dont think it can hurt GC or PS2 that much.

And Im pretty sure it wont match the PS2 and GC userbase..
