This is the second time I am typing this up because the first time I did something stupid and deleted everything (It\'s a long story
). So this might be a little sloppy.
I am not taking KoolKev\'s side (he is a biased fanboy), but I don\'t agree with some things that you said Docwiz.

Right now, the PS2 doesn\'t have anything that is
that good. But it does have some things that are
almost that good. The Xbox has the PS2 beat in graphics right now, but that doesn\'t mean it always will. And it doesn\'t mean that the PS2 doesn\'t have any graphically impressive games of its own. I\'m sure you\'ve heard this list numerous times, but I think these games deserve credit where credit is due: Devil May Cry, MGS2, Jak & Daxter, FFX, ICO, Virtua Fighter 4, Outcast 2, Baldur\'s Gate: Dark Alliance.
Xbox has Halo, DOA3, Project Gotham, NFL Fever, and Madden 2002 for Launch that are best launch titles.
PS2 had SSX and Madden 2001 for top games for their launch.
Any questions?
I have a question. Why did you leave out lots of great PS2 launch games? Here is a better comparison:
Xbox........................................................PS2
-------------------------------------------------------------
Halo....................................................Timesplitters
DOA3..................................................DOA2:HC/TTT
Project Gotham...................................Ridge Racer V
NFL Fever/Madden 2002.....................Madden 2001
Amped/THPS2X...................................SSX
***Note: Amped and Ridge Racer V are not really known as being great launch games, but I included them to show how similar the two launches really are.
Other than those great games, the rest of the games in both launches are less-than-stellar. So why is the Xbox launch is so much better than the PS2 launch was? Oh yeah. Because the PS2 launch was a year ago. :rolleyes:
If there is any console that hasn\'t lived up to the hype, its clearly PS2. Its a year later and they finally are getting some good games...
In your opinion. In my opinion, it has had great games right from the start.
...while xbox gets them at launch. Just imagine next year.
That can go both ways. If the PS2 games are looking so good right now (and IMO, they are), just imagine next year for the PS2.
And I think that the Xbox is going to pull a PS2. It will have a pretty good launch, then have a big drout of games for a half year and only have a couple must have titles during that time. I have been trying to find some must have Xbox titles after the launch, and all I can think of is Project Ego and maybe some Sega games (a very big maybe because I\'ve never been a big fan of most of their games).
Now hopefully I can post this post right this time.
