my way of thinking about all this is the ps2 get real popular cause its SONY who made it...

fact:
XBOX got a 733 CPU
GAMECUBE got a 633
and PS2 got a 333

Fact:
XBOX DVD
PS2 DVD
gamecube mini-disk

anyway go get the hardware spec and you'll see what i mean !
my point is clear, (for me) PS2 got so popular cause of marketting not cause of it's actual capabilities and i think if sony says kill yourself most of the people will just do it cause sony said to do it !

what do you think of my theory ?

On a factorial, intelligent approach to your theory, I would have to say that it is wack.

So, the SNES had even lower specs then that, no 3-D power really at all, but hey, people still deam it the best system ever.

The success of the PSX gave Sony a reputation, so people bought the PS2 fast, and alot of people did. Thus, creating a large user base, THUS creating more games for the system, and alot of very good games at that.

but do you think that denying the XBOX is a good thing ?

even the gamecube can beat up ps2 but people dont seems to look it the right way cause they think ps2 is better whaever console is gonna get out !

i heard people said that XBOX sucks, and that for no reasons !
same for gamecube, and i think people think that way cause they think sony is the best compagnie ever just cause one console worked right !

i remember the dreamcast had the same thing !
people said no to it cause PS2 was gonna be out soon, but people waited 3 years after that. what happenned to sega ? they have been kicked out of the competition for what ? NO REASON ! just cause people think sony is the god of all compagnie...

same happenned to the jaguar and the saturn, people dont see the console they see the compagnie and tell that they suck cause they sucked 10 years ago !

Guess what ! nintendo put sony on top and what did sony did ? they simply trashed them up with some PSX...

anyway, i refused to think that PS2 is that good to beat all other console by a mile !

maybe,jus maybe, its the games that PS2 has on it. XBOX is like a system 4 sports games. Gamecube is like a system 4 kid games. PS2 is the system 4 action games and sports games. it has a variety of games 2 play on it and u can watch DVD's and play CD's and stuff. XBOX came out later so ppl stayed w/ PS2 to play DVD's. its just an overall good system 2 have.

just like the others who are all around !
gamecube for kids !?! it has resident evil online on it !

:laugh: RESIDENT EVIL ISNT ONLINE FOR GAMECUBE YOU IDIOT!

heres my reasons people buy ps2

1.easier to use, and if you wnat to play dvds you dont have to buy a package like micro$ofts xbox

2. More games, ande better games, and they have exclusive games, thats why alot of people hate xbox, the only good game thats xbox only is halo, all the other games are 3rd party developers who make the same game for ps2 and gamecube

3.its easier to use online, you dont have to buy a package and give money to micro$oft

and the final word

it has gta3 and devil may cry, why would you need anything else? :crazy:

Dude Karma, people like PS2 because of the games, the CONTROLLER, the graphics.

And you said DC got kicked out for NO REASON? No, DC got kciedk because it sucked totally and had some bad abd bad games...

And PS2 is not popular because Sony made it, it's better because it has THE BEST Games.
And if you still think that it's because of Sony, then why don't you take a look at "Sony vaio?", it came out and dropped RIGHT AWAY..

Halo (one of the best FPS's of all time and deemed game of the year by many magazines and websites), DOA3, Spiderman, Max Payne, soon to be GTA 3 with improved graphics (that will kick major @$$!), soon to be soul caliber 2, soon to be Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (probably will kick @$$, THPS2x, THPS3, soon to be House of the dead, Hunter: The Reckoning, soon to be James Bond 007: Nightfire (might revolutionize the Bond genre), Project Gotham Racing, Genma Onimusha, Amped, and many, many more.

I have a PS2 and I have to say that it is equal to XBOX with Gamecube coming in a very close second. XBOX has internet access (available this Fall I think.) along with HDTV capabilities and is the most powerful of the consoles, but, does not have a better controller than PS2.

Gamecube comes in second because, even though it has some great games and graphics, it does not play CD's, DVD's, or even have a plan for internet access. The one with most potential is definitely XBOX, but the one with the most lasting power is the PS2. It came out a year earlier, has the most impressive cast of games of all the consoles, and is very practical with the built in DVD player and it is capable of internet access, but it might not branch out into that entire internet genre.

but the only game for xbox only is doa3 and halo, everything elses is *withe enhanced graphics!*, so what

Oh, did you know you can burn games/cd's on PS2?
Just gotta upgrade it a bit.

And X-BoX and GC don't have that!
So HA!
