MS taking heavy losses..

I don\'t think anyone can deny that there are problems with the original PSX.  Sony has admitted that they didn\'t anticiapte people playing for more than a couple hours a week--lol.  The increased use lead to track problems.  Mine still works (on the flip side), so it\'s not as wide spread a problem as some would lead others to believe.

As for the people who have had multiple PSXs--it happens with electronics, especially the first wave: PSX had them, PS2 has had its share of hardware problems and xbox had troubles too.  It\'s unlucky that you get a bad one, but in no way is Sony unique.

What gets me is that people like Fatson, mm and Billy, repeated post threads about how faulty the xbox hardware is.  Or how bad all thier games are or how MS can do no right.  They blame MS and their crappy system completely ignoring the exact same problems currently befall their own beloved console.

This is the kind of crap that makes it seem like all I do is defend the xbox.  No one would say a word if Sony was charging for their online, but since it\'s xbox, it\'s a crime against humanity.  It\'s the double standard that gets me.  FFXI\'s incompatibilty with some PS2 got hardly a mention, and certainly none from the fanboy gang.  But if something like that happens to xbox, that\'s all we\'ll hear about for months on end.

I don\'t know how you guy rationalize this kind of crap, but I guess you do.  Most of you must know, but refuse to admit it.

Good points Watchdog. Sometimes I feel the same way.

As far as consoles go, it\'s gonna be give and take for a long time. Sony is in the lead because they had a years headstart plain and simple.

    That may be part of the reason but its not the full reason.  If GC, PS2, and X-Box were all released with in the same week which console would be doing better?




America- PS2 (followed by X-Box than GC)
Japan- Without a doubt PS2 (followed by GC than X-Box)
Atleast 9/10 of the other countries in the world- PS2 (followed by GC than X-Box)





     My opinions are based on the past console sales. PSX beat out all te other consoles. People loved it in every county. The people who were satisfied with PSX expected even more from PS2 thats why it would come first. X-Box was 2nd in America for a couple of reasons One because not many people about the age of 5 looked forward to GC and two X-Box is from America. GC came 2nd in the other places based on X-Box and GC were released within the same moth (week?) and thats wut the results showed.

In that case, it would all depend on launch games and what\'s available shortly thereafter...the PS2 would still had the hype train from it\'s predecessor so it would have done well no doubt, but it wouldn\'t be the industry leader by such a large margin.  With two other consoles that would be just as powerful and easier to develop games for...I see a different story.

Really, what else was there?  Sega Saturn was obsolete and the N64 released 3 games a year...

and the N64 released 3 games a year

yeah, and two of em were pokemon related

LOL

:rolleyes:

Win2k Pro IS a good OS you monkey. Maybe if you\'d ever actually spend some time using it you\'d see. Win3.1, Win95, Win98, WinME, and pretty much ever DOS itteration before 6.11 were all crap. Expecially Dos 5.0 and it\'s horrid Win/Dos hybrid "Dosshell".

I haven\'t used XP yet, but I\'m not hearing too many complaints about it either.

>"I haven\'t used XP yet, but I\'m not hearing too many complaints about it either."

XP has this brand new feature, I call it slowphobia
the longer you use the OS, the slower your computer runs.. I never had this probably with 98

Lets take a vote which windows is the worst windows yet?



  My vote goes to ME

PSX2cetral has this brand new feature, I call it Chronoisa****ingidiot
the longer you use the forums, the worse it gets ... I never had this problem with other forums.

ohh no! I said something bad about windows and Watchdog gets all protective...
Did you help program it or something?

the longer you use the OS, the slower your computer runs

this is a well known problem with all versions
its known as "OS decay"

caused from memory leaks, registry problems, swap file errors, etc.. etc..


there\'s a reason why people call is Winblows

>"this is a well known problem with all versions"

well, I knew that
but I seem to notice it more in XP

I run win2k at home and XP at work and I don\'t get OS decay.  It happened a lot with 95 and 98 though.

No Chrono, I didn\'t program winXP, but it\'s not as if you are a respected or trusted person around here with regards to Microsoft.  Besides, I wasn\'t even contesting what you said per se, I was just informing people of a feature at PSX2C that they might not have been aware of.
