what is the best console?

dan da man · Nov 26th, 2002, 03:20 PM

what do u guys think is the best console out on the market?
mine is the playstation 2

Daedaelus · Nov 26th, 2002, 04:11 PM

Every console's got it's strong point.

PS2: lots of games, since it's been out for so long.

NGC: Very sweet looking graphics, and they have some of the best known games exclusive.

X-BOX: The most powerful system on the market, and has some very nice games including Shenmue II.

My personal opinion however, is NGC.

Beretta55 · Nov 26th, 2002, 06:40 PM

i was hopeing somebody wouldnt bring this up cause of what happened last time. but i like all my system's just the same but the one im playing alot right now is NGC.

Sleazy P Martini · Nov 26th, 2002, 07:02 PM

I own a PS2 and an Xbox. I love em both equally.

Uchiha Sasuke · Nov 26th, 2002, 09:21 PM

Yeah all three have some really great points and some things that are not good about them.If you want to by a console these days,its pretty much all due to the software lineup.Power these days is thrown around but doesn't sell the console.So instead of thinking about a console in terms that "oooo look this is the most powerful console" think in terms of what games you want to play.

BTW- No slamming on consoles.If i see any negative posts it going to be closed.~ THankyou.

We'll i have all three.Its really really hard to choose one over the other but say if i had to i would probably go with ps2 as the best at this time mainly because the amount of amazing games it has out and the ones that are still coming.

now that's the kinda crap that can start a flame war. beside's it's a stupid reason of hating it. im not defeanding the xbox im trying to prevent a flame war from happening.

BlackThornn · Nov 27th, 2002, 12:47 PM

I despise Microsoft as a company, but I still owned a preowned Xbox and buy used games.

As for the best console.. I'd have to say the PS2 because of the games (as has been mentioned repeatedly) and the larger fanbase. The NGC is more a console for kids (no offense intended, it's just a fact that there are very few M games on the console's list) and longtime fans of Nintendo. The Xbox is coming into it's own game-wise, but it's still got a long way to go before it can even touch the GC; give it another year and it might not even be amounting into huge losses for M$. *chuckles*

MakgSnake · Nov 27th, 2002, 01:33 PM

I'd be buying the other 2 consoles someday, for sure, to enjoy different games.

But NCG would be next on my list. Xbox is a kind of a system that didn't impress me at all. Saying its the most powerful system, haven't really shown what its capable of "really". I have played quite a few games on it.

Its normal control is something I didn't like either. As on the other hand NGC controllers may look ugly, but once you hold them, they are sooo amazing. Fits so well, and seems like the buttons are at the right place where it should be.

I'll buy both them someday soon. Oh yeah not saying that I dont like Xbox for this reason, but I seriously dont like Billy Boy.

REChick14 · Nov 27th, 2002, 01:56 PM

Its hard to say which is the best since all have their ups & downs. People have different tastes and it depends on the person I suppose. But my choice would be PS2. PS2 has most of the games im into and the controllers are nice & simple. So in my short conclusion I believe Ps2 is the best console out there.

XboxKiller · Nov 27th, 2002, 02:17 PM

I will have to go with the ps2. as you can tell my name says alot. see the reason I dont like the xbox that much is because they are saying that it shows much MUCH better graphics then the ps2 and GC when their is really no difference. now sure their is a little difference but damn its not a big deal people.
its like drinking cheap coke then drink expensive coke is their a difference yeah kind but its nothing to worry about.
so thats why I will go with the console with the best games good ass graphics a nice controller.

PS2

Sword 4 Hire · Nov 27th, 2002, 05:57 PM

I prefer my Ps2 over my Xbox at the moment

I really want an cube though...

mark0™ · Nov 27th, 2002, 06:55 PM

I Remember when the N64 was advertised as the most powerful console on the world then I got my PS2 (first batch in UK, preorderd it in June, got it Christmas Eve lol) And I was proud to say "hey, do you know i have in my possesion, the most powerful console in the world?" then the Xbox came out, bah, So i got one

Must admit, the Ps2 rules all, and the NGC would be a strong contender if it used normal sized disks to allow CD/DVD use...

That has to be one of the most useless statements I've ever heard. Please do not talk like that, there are many people on these forums who will defend X-BOX, so please justify your statements. This kind of stuff erupts into a flame-war very quickly.

Sword 4 Hire · Nov 27th, 2002, 07:36 PM

Yeah I agree with the above statement

I find myself defending my box quite often nowadays

That is a pretty hard statement, but hey Audio has the right to say whatever he wants. Not exactly defending him, but although its an opinion with no reasons, still it is one.

Just like many people wouldn't buy products made by the Talibans for example (even if they are good).

KraftSLU · Nov 28th, 2002, 04:22 AM

I really hate to say this, but I haven't turned the ps2 on in over two months now. Why? Xbox Live. Good lord that system makes all the difference in the world. Between running ground assaults in Ghost Recon, Calling offensive plays in NFL 2K3 and cruising around the track in MotoGP, I really haven't played much else... well, except for splinter cell (because it is the most fun 1 player game I have played in a long time, and possibly the best graphics I have seen on any system, including PC).

Metroid Prime was nice, played that for about 10 hours, but I just find myself falling back to duking it out with friends from the net online.

Vicious · Dec 5th, 2002, 10:07 PM

I own a PS2 and a Game Cube and I love them both the same. I like the PS2 FOR ITS GREAT SELECTION OF GAMES AND THE ABILITY TO PLAY dvdS ON IT, and I like the Game Cube for its many multiplayer games and many exclusive games. The only system that I dont like is the X Box because it's basically a PS2, but with fewer games and not as many systems sold. I dont know if it is considered a system or not, but my PC is also something that i spend many hours playing because of its online play and very wide vaiety of games from all genres ( FPS being my favorite).
