I am in the mood for some old fasion console debating that I used to enjoy. I am sure weltall and a few others remeber.
But alot may be surprised to hear that I am a Convert of the xbox,I was a sony fanboy for atleast 3 years now. Alot of xbox fanboys in the past have been biased and dumb but I am hoping to change that.
I am gonna make a few arguements and the rest can give a few comments or contridictions and we can start a debate, Though I guess this will probaily end up as some science vs Religion flame war knowing how things go.
The Xbox is the best of the three consoles in my opinion.
games
it may be true that the Ps2 has the most games and it has always been the arguement that the xbox does not have very many games , But that is untrue.
If you go by Exclusiveness the Xbox out ways the ps2 , Microsoft has made a much stronger effort in 1st and 2nd party support.
Ps2 big crown GTA3 and VC much like many other ps2 sucesses have all been ported so their exclusiveness is pretty shallow .
I must say that Mech assault and starwars KOTOR,Halo,crimson skies and quite many more are alot more exciting then most ps2 exclusives.
Microsofts sports games beat the living shit out of the flimsy 989 ,Unlike other 2nd party sports titles they are a contender agiast EA offerings.
You cant forget MS owns Rare and they will offer a few treats soon enough.
Now lets get down to the basics , Multiplayer is really starting to become a center role in most enjoyment and value in gaming.
The Ps2 is flawed for still only having 2 slots is a backward philosophy when it comes to hardware.
While it is true you can get multi tap but the thing is , It costs money for one and most developers wont support 4 players since most people dont have it.
But having 4 ports is a luxury, This is what makes the xbox the leading contender in multiplayer experience amongst freinds.This was a big factor in why I converted and switch sides.
The Hardrive is another advantage , You dont need crappy memmory cards nore do you need pay for them.
Some games give special options like installing your own music into the games such TH underground. The Hardrive is a joy just like having 4 slots , Its better as part of the body then sold seperately.
Graphically it is better then the ps2 in alot of areas, Though alot is hype but alot of truth if you look by example.The games are better detailed and richer in textures.
