If we\'re talking In-House games, I scratch only 1 up for Halo. And thats going to PC so its not exactly an exclusive.

I think PS2\'s user fanbase goes to show who has the most quality games out. And I do realize that the PS2 had a year headstart to create these quality games. :D

The anti-trust suit they have been involved in has certainly eaten a large chunk of change.

"claps hand" *Tips hat off to bob. Yes I am talking about in house games.

Yes I am talking about end house games and for both MS and Sony I can only think of two high- quality in house games both companies make.

i think yer info is either outdated or bunk
sony makes SO many products its sickening

so why do we think think sony is bigger and richer than m$?  because they are.

i decided to waste 5 minutes to make you look dumb
go to fortune.com and look at the world list


company            rank           revenue

sony /                30   /           66,158.4

m$ /                    201 /           22,956.0


run along newb
oh and read this article to see what a behemoth sony is
a gorilla named sony


Well duh! All you proved is that Sony is bigger than Microsoft, something I did not deny.:rolleyes: But when you\'re looking at actually wealth, you look at profits, cash on hand, debt, etc. Clearly, Microsoft has the edge there. And by the way, my info comes from Yahoo.com, so I\'d doubt it\'s "outdated or bunk."
