Why XBOX is better than PS2

This is an ongoing argument throught the gaming world and I thought I should put my two cents in..
First, XBOX has a faster processor than the PS2, which enables faster and richer graphics. Second, XBOX features a better video card(Geforce3 I believe) that produces sharper graphics than the one in the PS2. I have heard of people using the XBOX card for their own computer card. XBOX live is only available for broadband users, making sure there is no lag in the game because of lame 56k dailup modems(found in the ps2). The next XBOX will be using 64bit processing which will blow PS out of the water... Well, thats all I have to say, lets start a discussioN!

While it may be true that XBox has supperior hardware than PS2, but that alone does not constitute making it the better system. XBox has only a small handful of good games. PS2 on the other hand has several several great, exclusive games. Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, the Xenosaga's and many more I cannt think of. PS2 just has superior software and a greater backing of 3rd psrty developers.

Except for my RPG's, i say PC is far supperior to all

Yes, I would agree that computers are superior

Well, i Guess it depends on the hardware in your coputer, heh. Thats why i love my Radeon 9800, such pretty raphics. *Thinks of FarCry and upcoming Doom3

add about 10k to your 3dmark2001 score and you have mine and stock speed

. i get a 50FPS average in FarCry so it doesnt do to bad. Its the non-Pro though, with the crappy infeneon memory.

XBox is better than PS2, that's for sure. PS2 doesn't even come out with good games anymore, and XBox simply has a better infrastructure for Online gaming. As for PC, many console gamers dont have the commitment to maintain a system capable of games like Far Cry.

There arent any good games coming out on any system at the moment and the xbox just has a complete lack of quality games. I could careless about online functioality on a console.

They have tons of good games

Well people oppinions about what a good game is will vary. Xbox has a poor exclusive line (in numbers). Just not many great games i guess.

Personally I like GC (GameCube) the best, but this is betweeen PS2 and XBOX. I would prefer XBOX due to its awsome ass online gaming and the games for it are decent which makes it even better. The onlyl online games i would play would be mostly racing games so XBOX to me is better.

you have to be dumb to say xbox has less good game titles, the games on xbox are superior in every way. Ps2 and gamecube owners are just too proud to admit that they have an inferior system, so they look for any excuse, saying their games are better, which is bull.

monte84 · Post by **monte84** » July 10th, 2004, 2:05 pm

Ok, then start naming them good exclusive games. It no bull. Just because Xbox has Halo? Oh wait, that not exclusive, its on PC as well. KOTOR? On PC as well. The only real good game that is exclusive for Xbox would be Ninja Gaiden.

Psi-Ops

I don't know what would make someone think that Xbox doesn't have any good games; because there are plenty of them. Oh, so PS2 has more games than Xbox does? Who cares!? What good does having even a million games do if most of them are crap? Xbox has more than enough great games for most people, who probably don't plan on buying hundreds of games even if they are good. Here are a few examples of great games available on Xbox:

(the obvious) Halo
Project Gotham racing 1&2
Crimson Skies: High road to revenge
Splinter Cell 1&2
Ghost recon
Ghost Recon: Island thunder
Amped: freestyle snowboarding
GTA 3&Vice city
Ninja Gaiden
Rallisport challenge
Madden NFL 2004
ESPN NHL Hockey 2K4
Prince of Persia: Sands of time
Knights of the Old Republic

Soon to be released (likely to be good) games:
Halo 2
Battlefield: Modern Cobat
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Ghost Recon 2

The list goes on; and with EA going live, next year should turn out some pretty sweet games.

Sure, these games aren't all Xbox exclusive. Admittedly, most of them are not. The point is, the fact that the Xbox has better hardware is undisputable; and if you can play these games on any console, why not make it the one that is the most powerful?

I hear a lot of people arguing that everyone should just play games on their PC. The truth is that yes, a PC can be more powerful than any game console. Well that works out just fine, if you have over $1000 to shell out for a new computer every 2 years. Most gamers don't have that kind of money. They are left with the more affordable option of a gaming console. I fall into this category; and I chose Xbox. I don't regret it today, and I never will.

Here's some extra proof for you from gamespot's top 100 list:
http://www.gamespot.com/misc/top100_sco ... v_topscore
Notice how six of the top ten rated games are for Xbox?

and yes, I am very passionate on this subject. What gave me away? My ramblings? Oh well, as long as I'm right.

I am right. Remember that.

I agree with you totally, And have to add the Xbox live is just about the best thing out there. Also, The games for consoles are made for the specific console. **except multiplatform games where almost as a rule the graphics and controls suck. But The games are tailored to push the max out of the Xbox. But with a PC, You will always be behind the technology and graphics capabilities of the games unless you are upgrading.

Not to change the topic to much, but what do you expect of Playstation 3 and XBox 2?

ThManDan22 · Post by **ThManDan22** » January 2nd, 2005, 7:02 pm

I cant wait, I will buy microsoft , becuase i cant stand playstations games, they are either really stupid or for children. and all of thier shooters really suck. I belive there is another DIscussion on this board about xbox 2 and playstation 3 so i would check it out there.

This coming from a fanboy of the company that has been brainwashing people into the "mhz myth" for years. The xbox has a 733mhz celeron. The PS2 is Capable of 6.4gflops. I believe the average computer only does 1-4. The Emotion engine is also the first 128bit cpu(versus xbox's 32bit), which allows for greater bandwidth, as wide as 2560bits. Dont take me for a PS2 fanboy though, I am just stating the facts.I personally like Xbox better than PS2. The ps2 controllers suck, the graphics usually blow, the PS2 console has waaaay more design flaws than almost any other console, and it loads really slowly.

EDIT: oh btw, PS2 also has 2 emotion engines. forgot about that.

The GPU the xbox has is known as the NV2A, a cross between a geforce 3 and FX, I believe.
