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.

  1. 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.

    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?
