[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 462022, member: 2804"] Well, if you want a ton of games then the PS2 is your best bet. The Xbox does have better hardware and look for it to pick up steam in the future. Even though I personally prefer the Xbox to the PS2, you just can't beat the sheer number of games available to the PS2 owner. As the Xbox slowly builds a better library of games, look for it to gain steam in the video game market. Microsoft's deep pockets help it as well. Microsoft is gaining a lot of experience in the videogame industry right now. I predict that the Xbox 2, whenever that comes out, will crush Sony's PS3. Especially since Sony has been hinting that the PS3 won't even be hardware based but rather a sort of revolutionary proprietary OS that only plays games for some sort of set top PC hooked up to your TV. And you don't buy games but rather purchase them online and download them. I've heard it described as videogame DIVX. I think it will fail big time, especially if Microsoft releases a super awesome console system. People like console systems. They don't like complicated pay per download schemes that involve the PC. But perhaps more conservative elements of Sony marketing will win out and they will release another console. But it should be interesting to see what happens.... [/QUOTE]
