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.

    However, as Netscape learned the hard way, don't ever count M$ out.

    However, as Sega learned the hard way, don't ever count Sony out.

    Just for your information: Sony is several times bigger than Microsoft.

    And Sony can concentrate on consumer electronics, while MS is busy competing in 100 different markets.

    Sony will win this battle and Microsoft will never come back. Unlike software, there is no second chance for a console. If XBox fails nobody will make the same mistake again and buy XBox2 and be left without games.
