PS2 has 30 million+ installed units arouns the world, how can u possibly say the future is uncertain

in the "console race", if one really exists, sony is already sitting at the finish line with a macanudo and a Dos Equis watching ths GC and xbox cheap shot each other for 2nd place

everyone knows sony will dominate the remainder of this generation

now next generation, that may be a gamble
especially if m$ never recoups its losses on the xbox and has to decide to go forward with xbox 2 or not

the shareholders will only let thier stock go down so far

We have still 4-5 years...and PS2 is everything except infallible...it\'s technically inferior to both XBox and GCN,****ty to develop for and you have to buy add-ons if you want at least "half" of the XBox features...

I\'m with Alteredbeast...once the price will drop,great games will come and the on-line gaming will spread...who knows...what will happen...everyone who thinks MS are doomed is a fool !  My forecast is that Sony won\'t dominate this gen!

What happens when the PS2 price drops as well? Then what?

Half of the features?? LOL, you make it sound as if Xbox has a whole lot of features there. Care to count a few? I can only think of...
mmh...

Any more? Nah, not at the moment. I\'m sure patches will be a central thing on Xbox later on (boy I hope not), perhaps updates and maybe download extras or whatever. As for now, I can only think of 1 thing Xbox can do thanks to the harddrive that PS2 can\'t. In the future, you\'ll have that add on, but seing to how online gaming is the next big thing and Sony knowing this from the start, I do believe that a lot of people will buy that add-on. That also means those millions of 56k users outthere that won\'t be left out in the cold.

Prices have already dropped and I am really looking forward to those updated sale numbers. I think Chrono posted them for Japan and it didn\'t show much impact at all. They way things are heading, Xbox is loosing support by a lot of Japanese developers - and makes its future look quite uncertain if you ask me. And on-line gaming.. what ever, although I do hope you realise that that will take some time (also keeping in mind that it is Broadband only).

XBox:  
-BB out of the box
-HDD out of the box.
-Multitap out of the box.
-Plays video games of all sorts.

-BUY DVD playing capability.
-BUY 56k (maybe, one day) capability.
-BUY \'s\' controller unless your one of the freakish 10%

PS2:
-DVD player out of the box.
-Plays video games of all sorts.

-BUY multitap.
-BUY HDD capability.
-BUY Network (56k+BB one card) capability.

So, the ps2 \'major options\' are more expensive than Xbox, but it\'s not like the xbox brings all sorts of crazy options to the table as you imply.
Also, at the same time, at this point, and any forseeable point in the future, the ps2 already dominates this gen.  It\'s STILL outselling GC and Xbox, which means the number sold gap is getting bigger every day.  There\'s no realistic possibility of them being surpassed this gen.  The others will probably start doing better soon... but they aren\'t going to catch the PS2.  Maybe next gen.

the PS2 has a digital out port

ya gotta pay for it on the xbox

and the lack of 56k on the xbox will SEVERELY limit its users

The number of people who use bb is way higher than the number of pure subscribers, btw. Think about college students. They play TONS of games and are supplied with a direct line of bb power :)

Some good points but the number is still no where near 50%.  Oh and I don\'t sell consoles at work???  You first need to know where I work.;)

Rip music into your game



I was sure you were the first fool to rise to the bait...it was only a little provocation...it\'s so funny when PS2 fools get so offended...


rip music into your game is not the only ADVANTAGE the XBox will give you...but...what can I expect from a Sony tool like you...

ps: I\'ve never seen a software engineer wasting so much time on a videogame forum...talking a lot of BS crap...:laughing: ...aren\'t you a kid aged 18?
