how could you say that you could care less about the hardware when all you put here was how the xbox's hardware was superior:

What does that mean? Faster load times of course and now when I bring my Xbox over to a friend's house, I don't need to bring my games with me.
and you cant say the xbox has more good games...because it doesnt

these are the xbox games that sold over a million copies:

* Guitar Hero II (1.3 million)
* Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening (1.3 million)
* Enter the Matrix (1.2 million)
* Call of Duty: Finest Hour (1.2 million)
* NCAA Football 06 (1.2 million)
* Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (1.18 million)
* Spider-Man 2 (1.12 million)

* The Getaway (1 million)
* Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 (1 million)
* NCAA Football '07 (1 million)
* Bully (1 million)
* Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (1 million)

so you cant say the xbox has better games, because people buy the best games, and it looks like more people bought better games on the ps2

and a lot of these games are aimed for hardcore gammers, which means a lot of hardcore gamers bought the ps2, not young kids

and the console doesn't decide what cheats you can use, the developers of the game do, so if there was cheats on a ps2 version of the game, an xbox game would have the same cheats, and the ps2 exclusive games dont really have a lot of cheats, some do...but not all of them

Most PS2 games have so many cheats, it's not even funny; I have like one xbox game that has cheats on it, and that's GTASA. VERY FEW, I repeat, VERY FEW Xbox games have cheats. And those hardware opinions were quotes from popular websites, NOT my opinion. And if you change that list of games to 3million, then they're alot closer to each other. Sure, more people had the PS2. But this argument isn't about which games were better or which one had more games, it's about which console was better.

and this argument isn't about which games have more cheats than others either

so what makes a console better?...the games, and the ps2 has better games which makes it a better console period.


and here are the lists for games selling 3 million copies:
ps2:
* Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (13 million)
* Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (12 million)
* Grand Theft Auto III (11 million)
* Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (11 million)
* Gran Turismo 4 (8.79 million)
* Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (7 million)
* Kingdom Hearts (5.6 million)
* Final Fantasy X (5 million)
* Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (3.7 million)
* Final Fantasy XII (3.68 million)
* Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3.6 million)
* Madden NFL 2004 (3.5 million)
* Kingdom Hearts II (3.5 million)
* Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (3.2 million)
* Final Fantasy X-2 (3 million)

xbox:
* Halo 2 (9.2 million)
* Halo: Combat Evolved (5 million)

We are arguing about which console was better, not which one used the games to win the console war. (The new 360's have more games than the new PS3's anyways. ) But as for Xbox, we are arguing about software, BIOS, graphical capabilities. NOT GAMES. And those are opinions of famous gaming sites, meaning people take them seriously.

ok, then if you look at those kind of things when you buy a gaming console, then you would have to agree that the ps3 is better then the 360, right??

like i said before the games make the console...and no matter the specs if it doesnt make the cut with games, it's nothing

at least thats what all you MS fanboys b!tch about toward the ps3

The 360 has more games than the PS3, thanks.

The ONLY thing that the PS2 has is it's games, which is why you won't let go. Xbox has better hardware, a better constructed BIOS, has basic features that the PS2 doesn't..(Store music on hard drive, saves without memory card) and the PS2 has lost except for it's games. In that one genre, it has beaten the Xbox, and if there were more Xbox users back then, and not so much hype about the PS2, then there would be more users to buy Xbox games. However, 360 is completely owning the PS3 in games AND GFX, so we don't need to worry about the future.

exactly! except for games...and when i go to get a GAMING console what do you think the thing i will be most worried about!?!

and you don't know how stupid you sound when you say the xbox is better than ps2 because it has better hardware, and then you turn around in the same post and say the 360 is better because it has more games than the ps3, even thought the ps3 has better hardware...you sound like a MS fanboy to me >.>

Keep dreaming.

I was simply pointing out that the 360 is beating the PS3 in every aspect, even ones I don't care about (Like generic lists of games.), and you don't know how stupid you sound when you don't even listen. Let me put it in noob:

Although the PS3 has better hardware, it does not utilize it's hardware AND SOFTWARE, key point, software, to the full extent like the 360. Not to mention that the 360 beats the PS3 in YOUR core argument, games, AND MY core argument, GFX and performance. Owned.

I'd choose Xbox because most games are unique, (KOTOR, Halo, Kingdom Under Fire, etc.), whereas the PS2 has worse graphics, AND horribly generic games (GTA, True Crime, Gran Turismo, etc).

P.S.
Don't get ticked when the conversation changes, after all, YOU are the one pushing the convo around.

And try responding to ALL of my argument, instead of just choosing what you can think up answers for. Thnx.

Completely pointless argument.
