i agree with jumpman. i voted PS2-GC-X-box . actually i even doupt the x-box may even live for 2005. the x-box may not even become more popular than the DC this yer.
why? well.. the x-box is mainly trageting the generic gamers not hardcore, and this is were they will fail misrebly. MGS-X is the only savuir for x-box , but most people will be accointed with MGS2-PS2 before they know that there is an x-box version.
oddworld is a stupid freak game, halo is over-hyped. ampiet can no-way be better than SSX/SSX2. and the microsoft new racer will propaby suck compared to GT3. also PS2 has sega\'s VF4 which is not comming to x-box in addition to Tekkin4 and PS2 still has square. in addition, the PS2 has a juge head start, but october there should be 400 games out with 15 M consoles shiped. the x-box can\'t even play DVD movies out of the box ( no DVD player shiped ).
X-box may have MSR but that game sucks bad anyway i think GT3 just Kicks MSR\'s ass anytime.
additionally, the x-box graphic capabilities have been over hyped. for example, the current GeForce2 Ultra with 32MB VRAM is theoretically capable to handle 25M Polygons. but Quake3 just has a peak of 3M Polygons. and the framerate in Quack3 significantly drops whenever more than one badie is on screen at once because of limitation of the engine. Quack3 engin is not even a true 3D engin, it is a semi-3D ( graphic tricks which look a lot like 3D ) that\'s why the engine can only be used for spesific purposes and cannot be used for flight simulation.
why GC better than x-box? GC has zelda, pokemon, mario. they have a strong following.
