PS2 was bigger, but XBox had the bestselling game, and XBox made the most off one game- Halo 2- which beat all records on it's first day of release. Although they should both corralate, they don't. The reason PS2 had a bigger market share was because you had to buy more of them. My first PS2 broke a month after I got it. I got my XBox at the same time. This was christmas 2003. My XBox, although it sometimes fudges with a few game every now and then, still works a treat most of the time. I don't know anyone who has bought more than 1 XBox, yet I know several who have had to buy 2,3,4 and in one case 7 PS2s.

This has gone on slightly too long, and I'm ranting. If you really want to read that up there and pay attention to it (and that is all factual, I can guarantee that) then go ahead. But my point is (which didn't come across clearly) was that the PS3 will most likely follow in the footsteps of the PS2 rather than the PSP. And the PS2 sucked

I bought my PS2 before the Xbox even came out and it is still working perfectly right now. My friend had an Xbox and it just died. It stopped working completely. Also the PS2 was infinetly better than the gamecube and the Xbox. The gamecube only had 2 good games (RE4 and SMSB) and the Xbox doesnt have any good games that i can think of.

p.s. Nice speech Hound.

It doesnt really deserve that much respect. What is the point of haveing it if all the games eventually come out for the PC for less money and better graphics. Also the only game that looks any good and original on it is Gears of War.

Bloodhound gave majority examples. One reason why the PS2 had a second model come out was because the PS2 had a limited lifespan (FACT) - I know only one person who still has a working original, and it was because she never played it.

XBox's are far more durable than the original PS2 in such a respect, so that argument, Pat, is completely null.

Also, infinitely better? XBox was... twice as powerful as the PS2... If you say 'infinite' as 'half', then you may just be right.
And if you turn to the oh so fateful arguement that many have turned to, 'Microsoft are money whores' I'll let you know- they only started making a profit off the XBox franchise last year. Plus, Microsoft, as a company, are not that high in terms of value.
