actually, peformance wise. X-box is probably better than PS2 but I still think that so far PS2 has created better games. -----------------------

PS has just dominated. I wish Nintendo would make a decent come-back, but I doubt I'll see that anytime soon.
Xbox is fun. Graphics are ok, but I hate the controller. -----------------------

far as system specs go X-Box is far superior. PS has more and better games as a whole though, still like the big X-Box controller more than any controler ever made before, dunno why everyone hates it.

Its my understanding that Nintendo isnt even going to compete up the alley of "performance" but rather go for the "experience" of game play, in other words more crazy controllers and snuff.
As for the Xbox, you have to give it credit for being a spanking new device and doing so well. PS may have more games because their just crazy, but i still think that Xbox is just a kickass system, and hopefully 360 will impress me just as much as the original Xbox. -----------------------

I don't like the Xbox controller because its just too damn big for my taste. I'm used to smaller, hand-sized controllers (PS/Nintendo).
If I had a choice between Xbox and PlayStation, I'd get the PS because of the games (FF series of course). The only upside that I see to the Xbox is some of the games that have come out, such as Ninja Gaiden and Jade Empire. -----------------------

Ninja Gaden is one of the best games that I have ever played. Im sure I have beaten it more times then I can count.
Nintendo is actually trying to make some kind of comeback. They are coming out with a system next fall called Revolution or something like that. It probably won't be anywhere close to the graphics of what I have seen on PS2 or X-box, but it could be good.
What I have been seeing a lot of lately is splitting of game lisceenses. LucasArts likes to give only certain games to certain companies. Lets take Kotor for example. An X-box only game. But yet nintendo came out with Jedi Knight 2: Outcast on their platorm after the PC. They also came out with all of the rogue squadron II games, but X-box didn't, and PS2 really doesnt seem to care.
I know there are a lot of Zelda fans out there, and to our delight, there is a new game coming out. The Legend of Zelda. It is only going to be for gamecube though, so try and scrounge up about eighty bucks and go buy it, and get another fifty for Zelda. I know a lot of people who play X-box and PS2 will be wanting to play the game, but they are going to have to buy the gamecube to do so.
Which keeps my little cube of fun in the running with the big daddies of X-box and PS2. -----------------------

KotOR is both Xbox and PC.
Also, I haven't played Jade Empire, but it just looked good, and I'd get it for the fighting.  The other game I'm wanting to desperately get is God of War and Onimashu 3. -----------------------

X-box rules over all systems because of two games. Halo and Halo 2. It doesn't really matter which because they both rule over any other game.  -----------------------

Well everyone knows that PCs are the best, you can play halo online without paying for xbox live(paying for online when you've already got the internet!). And specs wise the good Pcs are five times better. |

Halo 2 sucks now too. I just cancelled my LIVE subscription and put my Halo 2 disc into storage. Damn bungie and their stupid update. Now its a total n00b game.
why is a n00b game? They made grenades more powerful, and decreased the effectiveness of the skill weapons, such as the battle rifle.
I got killed by a single plasma grenade on the other side of a wall. It was at that point I ripped the controller out of the socket and turned the game off, never to play again...
