PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging?

Posted by Hemos on from the battle-of-the-titans dept.

gripdamage writes "This article on MSNBC says XBox's sales are slowing and are not expected to meet Microsoft's expectations. MSNBC previously reported that sales have been weak in Japan. The strongest and most interesting assertion in the article is that "In its regular global video game survey last week, Goldman Sachs said U.S. retailers showed a 'surprisingly clear' preference for Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 2 over the Xbox."" X-Box isn't dead yet - not by a long shot.

    I guess the x-box may soon be the ex-box.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

  2. X-Box 1.0 is naturally bad by Khazunga · · Score: 5, Funny
    As is the rule with all 1.0 Microsoft products. If Microsoft continues to push X-Box, by X-Box 4.0, it will be a decent product.

    The problem with hardware is that it actually costs a lot of money to keep the development versions in the market. Let's wait and see.

  3. MS not about to give up! by Acoustic_Nowhere · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't worry. When Microsoft decides to bundle the XBox with Internet Explorer, they will do just fine!

    Since when has an MS product doing badly ever stopped it from dominating the market for which it was aiming.

    The Gord speaketh about such, and I generally agree with his words.

    Plus, his site is a classic.

    My kids think Gamecube is the cat's ass.

    Help me out with the lingo here.

    Does this mean they like it, hate it, or just need a lesson in basic feline anatomy?

    I believe it mentioned something about people looking for a way to half-escape reality.

    Why can't people do this the good old-fashioned way - with drugs and alcohol?

    My ex-girlfriend hooked up with more girls than I did after we split. Kinda cuts the self-esteem in half.
