PS2 vs Xbox

[@gamegoggles875]

This generation of consoles was amazing. Everyone brought their all.

[@teneesh3376]

But the ps2 won that generation. Slighty due to some people buying it as a dvd player. But mostly games. Though I will always love the OG xbox more

[@teneesh3376]

@@chadchadington8876 and will probably have another rough start next gen. You know, with lack of must play launch exclusives and a controller that has technology two generations old. Just because it feels nicer, doesn't mean it's new. Give me a gyroscope or something

[@mmm.3839]

@@teneesh3376 did you see how many launch titles they revealed? The PS5 controller features sounds cool but in reality why do you need gyro or motion sensor on a controller? Joy cons are understand cause they're separate controllers but an actual controller doesn't need it. I hope the elite controller 3 has the haptic feedback that the PS5 controller has

[@teneesh3376]

@@mmm.3839 honestly, there weren't any titles that excited me. Not even halo. Though the 343 games have disappointed me Also a gyroscope is great for gyro aiming. A much better way to aim then using the analog sticks. And if you don't like it, you can turn it off. But the majority of people who have tried using gyro aiming prefer it. PC users utilize the features of the ps4 controller way more then sony ever has. But also, the controller is going to be more expensive at launch. So what's the point for the controller being more expensive, other then "it feels better"

[@abhitron]

I can think of two other reason the PS2 was very successful. First off, it was the cheapest DVD player at the time of its release, which enticed a lot of non-gamers to buy it (eventually they also started playing games on it as well). Another is that between the discontinuation of the Dreamcast in March 2001 and the release of the Gamecube in September 2001, there was a five month window where PS2 was the only 6th generation console available, which allowed Sony to accumulate more sales during this time.

[@jackmeoff9299]

True but the Xbox was so much more powerful than the PS2 it's hard to believe that the Xbox didn't do better

[@sjuric2435]

@@jackmeoff9299 At that time, games are everything, I had PS2 then and if I had to choose again, I would choose PS2 again, because it had the most and the best games. Back then even 3rd party games were exclusive from Capcom, Square-Enix, Konami, Rockstar and many others that were not available on any other platform. When I think of 2001 only when Xbox and GC came out for comparison and also compared to today crazy how many excellent game (Ico, Silent Hill 2, Gran Turismo 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy 10, Jak and Daxter, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Onimusha, SSX Tricky, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Ace Combat 4, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, Grand Theft Auto III) all this in one year and almost all PS2 exclusives, later some also came to Xbox. This is the reason GAMES, not the power of the console.

[@jackmeoff9299]

@@sjuric2435 I actually owned the Dreamcast the PS2 and the Xbox I purchased them all when they came out absolutely loved the Dreamcast because it truly mimicked arcade quality graphics but unfortunately it lacked 3rd party support I felt the PS2 was a failure because it was more powerful than the Dreamcast but unfortunately much of the rendering it did lacked quality in the Dreamcast usually had a sharper and nicer picture and hands down the Xbox was King with a phenomenal game lineup I still own a fully Modded Xbox with every game ever made for Xbox on it including thousands of others I also still have my Dreamcast but I no longer have a PS2

[@sjuric2435]

@@jackmeoff9299 I've never had a Dreamcast, but the PS2 was stronger and quite a lot. Especially in games that printed a lot of physics and geometry like MGS2, Jak and Daxter, Shadow of Colossus, etc. Later games improved the picture quality a lot on the PS2 when they started to come with 480p support. There were also a lot of myths that the PS2 doesn't have or uses anti-aliasing, the truth is that none of those consoles used anti-aliasing in games because it was too demanding for the consoles of that time, including the Xbox, even though it is supported by hardware like the Gamecube. What the PS2 lacked was mipmapping, so the games had that characteristic PS2 look. Last week I read on the Beyond3d forum why the Game Cube never got a Burnout 3 port because it's CPU couldn't handle the game, first of all collisions and car geometry were hard to deal with on GC CPU and the game depends on a smooth 60fps. Interesting read, I didn't know that.

I'm no serious microsoft fan (in fact I hate Microsoft for ruining online multiplayer for console gaming) but at least Microsoft is actually making an effort to make it easier to play older games from previous systems, unlike the lazy fucks at Sony. and what if I'm a new fan to a system? like I moved from Xbox to playstation 5 and wanted to play an old Playstation exclusive game? well I'm shit outta luck unless we get an HD port or collection.

I've owned every console that's come out since the PlayStation 2. The console Wars are fun but honestly I hope none of these companies stop making consoles. Xbox has been my staple but recently I got a PlayStation Vita and I got very interested in PlayStation games. Now I have a PlayStation 4 which I use the Vita for remote play. I just also got a switch Lite as well. Hopefully I don't get joy con drift. Video games are fucking life.

My argument has changed alot over the years. PS2 was the console I have probably played the most in my lifetime and I must say the Xbox running games on my modern television in 720p and basically the ENTIRE library in 480p just makes them way more playable than the like 10 games capable of 480p on ps2 😂

I hate dual shock but ps1 and ps2 dominated by such a margin that you cannot just ignore theses machines.

[@PaperBanjo64]

That's why I use a Logitech PS2 controller, dualshock has the weird angled handles and makes my hands cramp up, especially if a game requires the double L and R buttons to play.

[@Housestationlive]

@@PaperBanjo64 to me it's more the stick positions, i prefer the xbox controller, but of course you can't play ps2 with an xbox controller 😄

Not really into the whole console war. I have owed every PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo all the way back to the NES. Each one brought something unique to the table. Crap, I remember playing my dad’s Atari!

[@Pauliewallnutts]

The reason the controller was so big is because Sony blocked them from buying parts so they had to make their own circuit boards which was another way Sony tried to sabotage them

The main reason Xbox is still in the competition... is the fact that the 360 won the 7th Gen...

[@blazenfate]

Not really a win, since it was outsold 2 -1 near the end

[@irkandcrew]

@@StarkZaku I'm a fan of Nintendo.. but I don't consider the Wii a win... I just mean in overall the 360 had the best library and the console that for the hardcore gaming audience at the time. This is why they are a big player in the race today... if that success didn't happen... I'm not sure they would even be a threat to Sony today. I believe just about every Nintendo gamer in the early 2000s jumped over to Xbox 360 cause the Wii wasn't what they wanted.

[@irkandcrew]

@@blazenfate Sales maybe

[@irkandcrew]

@@StarkZaku I can't argue with that... But it takes more then sales to win the console wars... what is going to forward the brand as a whole... just because every mom in the US bought a Wii... doesn't mean it ended up being more then a glorified paperweight. Once you played Twilight Princess and Brawl, you jumped ship. Dev's had a hard time developing with motion controls. The Wii U bombed because of the Wii's failures... don't get me wrong I liked it and I still have my Wii... but I just don't think sales won that one.
