Out selling the PS2 in America is easy. The Japanese PS2 (naturaly) outsells the XBox in Japan -which is a huge market that MS are having serious trouble gaining any ground on.
I personaly love some titles on the PS2 that will never be on an XBox. The same goes for the XBox, although i would love to have seen some XBox titles being released on the PC (which of course the XBox is ) namely Fable. Idiots have complained that they finished Fable in 8 hours! That's nothing to boast about other than the game is wasted on people like that, you can go on indefinately with the silver quests and chests,doors and fishing! LOL fishing is FUN!
Like i said, the PS2 does japanese horror/RPG very well (not crap like Manhunt) , the XBox is sports and racing -none of which are my favs. Although i'm buying 'Project Zero 2' for the XBox.
I'll buy *any* format that supports a wide range of genres -which is why i have both consoles.
Don't get me into the debate about monthly fees on top of my ISP to play my XBox online but NOT for my PS2......
Oh and here's a SCREAM for yah! "XBox shows the BSOD" ROFL
Quote: | Oops: Blue Screen Of Death Interrupts Gates' CES Show
By TechWeb News
Bill Gates' keynote presentation Wednesday night at the Consumer Electronics Show didn't quite go according to plan: glitches, including a dreaded "Blue Screen of Death," interrupted the show several times.
Microsoft's chairman, who shared the stage with late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien, kept his cool when Microsoft Media Center crashed during the presentation, and an Xbox displayed the blue screen of death.
As the Xbox went down for the count, the Microsoft executive running that part of the presentation, Garrett Young, said, "This is a little bit of demo karma, sorry, I'm out of system memory apparently. Yeah, so just imagine, if you will, that I was customizing my car and doing some really cool stuff."
O'Brien played to the crowd during the crashes with lines like "right now nine people are being fired," and "Who's in charge of Microsoft? Oh."
