PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging?
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.
First off, I must say is that the only reason that I would consider buying one would be if I needed a new coffee table for my living room. Microsoft thinks that because it is a huge corp that it can do anything in any market. Not true, stick to making software and keyboards. Better yet, don't make software.
p.s. as anyone got an X-box to blue screen?
In favt the things had only been on sale for 4 hours but already 1 out of the 3 had crashed. :)
Hardly a great advert for something that costs a LOT more than a PS2 or Gamecube.
There is an argument that consistency is a good thing however and MS certainly seem to be following
that advice!
I want the Cube, but they don't have a single game out right now that's a must have for me. No FF, no MGS, not to mention their games tend to be kiddie games. I'm not sure where you get off saying Nintendo has higher quality games than PS2, I'll put FFX up against anything the Nintendo has out. Hopefully a new Zelda, or Metroid will come out and I can finally justify buying one. (Although I didn see a kick ass looking game at the import store the other day, so I'm starting to give in allready).
I'm the big fish in the big pond bitch.
Die all you sony lovers! DIE!
