    Lol, even though XBOX owned PS2, PS3 is going to own XBOX 360 way more.

    Xbox 360 owns! Playstation 2 was only cool cause it was the first of the new consols. PS3 will be awesome, but 360 is microsoft and they know what's up.

    Right I have XBox and PS2.. but i'm gonna be getting XBox 360 because I feel that it looks better.. and I got a hunch that even tho the specs say Ps3 is better.. I don't believe in that and feel Xbox 360 will rise to the occasion

    P.S - WTF is up with the Ps3 controllers?? --http://www.ps3land.com/images/newps3.jpg

    The Dreamcast sucked? Did you even own one? Or play some of AAA titles that appeared on the system?

    The graphics sucked? I don't think so, they held up to PS2 pretty nicely (Soul Calibur anyone?). First system with Online capability, bringing console gamers online with games like Q3, UT and PSO. Also able to browse the web as well.

    For it's time it was ahead of anything else. Sony doesn't to this day have the online community the Dreamcast had.

    For various reasons it "failed", that does not deminish the power of the system or the ideas and content it brought to the Console market. Sega, at the time was not able to compete with the behemoth of Sony.

    Comparing Sega and it's Dreamcast to Microsoft and it's 360 is not the best comparision one can make. Sega at the time is no where near the company Microsoft is. With it massive assets and infamous name Microsoft was able to take huge losses to combat Sony and gain market ground, where as Sega just didn't have the bank roll for that. With the 360, Microsoft has a system that on paper seems pretty powerful and though not up the PS3's numbers, it by no means will be blown away. With it's name, and massive bank roll Microsoft has already guaranteed success, that does not mean they will eclipse Sony as far as market share. But the 360 will be successful. With Franchises like Halo, and developers like Rare and Bioware behind them, there is not doubt the 360 will be able to compete with Sony and it's sleek and powerful PS3.

    Another factor is the price. It is rumored that the 360 will launch at 300-$350, while it's said the PS3 will launch at $400+, and at that price sony will be taking losses. Alot of parents will pick the 360 for their children based on price alone. That shouldn't make that big of a dent in the Sony Machine though. With it's popular Playstation brand and market forces, and the mature age of it's customer base I assume the PS3 will retain the title of Top Dog in the console wars.

    As for Nintendo, I don't really don't know. While I enjoy a few of Nintendo's first party games (Zelda, Pikmin, MarioCart etc), I think they will have to settle for 3rd place again. Being kept afloat by their handheld systems alone does not bold well for their console side of things.

    I truly hope no one company fails. The more competition the better. It was a sad day that Sega droped out of the console market. I hate the "Fanboy" mindset, it's childish and idiotic. At the end of the day, it's about the games and not the console their played on.

    shadup? i didnt say that dreamcast sucked i said that the graphics werent that great, and yes i own and i still have it. I said it was relased to early, but in the end it died. also i wasnt comparing dreamcast to xbox 360 or ps3, i was predicting that it would take the same PATH as it would that dreamcast took. It doenst matter wat happens. Just like the saying " u can win by a million goals, but a win is a win" so in the end it died. so stfu.

    xbox 360 has this. sure the ps3 has better specs but even the developers at activision, midway and EA said its too difficult to develope for. 360 will get more develpors, better games, and it looks way cooler. I personally dont want a boomerang for a controller :lol: :lol:

    i own a ps2, so im not an xbox fanboy by anymeans, just telling the truth.

    I'm going to go with PS3 because i have always liked the games that come out for playstations, i think playstation has more realistic graphics compared to xbox's kinda cartoony graphics

    my honest opinion would be to play on both the consoles and then decide which i like graphics and gameplay wise. as well as how easy it is to use :)
