PS2 has the worst hardware out of the new generation systems? why is x-box bashed so much to? It has the best hardware you know. This is the rankings in the consoles power...

1.) X-BOX
2.) GameCube (yes it's better than PS2)
3.) PS2
4.) Dreamcast

Why don't people understand?

X Box sucks quite bad. Although it can play PC games, it plays them slower. THe graphics are great, but the fun factor sucks bad. PS2 isn't the greatest but certainly isn't the worst. Atleast, not in my opinion.

Yes, I know PS2 has the worst hardware. Gamecube at least has an ATi, but there aren't really good games that I want right now. (Hurry up metroid prime). PS2 games are just fun to play. :D

PS2 looks to have the best games currently overall, hardware be damned. If someone is saying "PS2 is the best", they shouldn't be talking about hardware. Dreamcast has a better US library than all of them, and is the "weakest".

The US was very lucky with the Dreamcast. So many games that would have been import only on the PS or N64 or anything else.


everyone thank Capcom.

In some respects, the Dreamcast hardware is actually superior to the PS2 hardware. I'm no pro when it comes to the technical stuff, but I remember seing a link somewhere explaining it.

Anyway, the only gripes I have with the PS2 hardware are the jaggies. Just look at VF4. The jaggies are terrible, (even though the actualy game is amazing) especially on a high end TV, like a Sony Wega.

TimeMatrix, You're right about the power of each of the systems but the strength of the hardware is not everything. It's the software that makes the systems what they are and Sony has the best games out. Not only that, most of the companies that make the good games are backing PS2 and anything else Sony touches. And that is why Sony is the best right now.

PS2 is still the best in my opinion. After all its the games that make the system not the hardware. For an example the N64 had better hardware than the PS but PS had more and better games and in the end the N64 died a miserable death.

SNES is superior to some modern systems in some respects as well. It can handle high(er) color transparencies while in an 8-bit color screen mode. Newer systems would switch to a high color mode.

how? I don't know. clever means I imagine.

I'm not too sure which of the next gen consoles is the best. I haven't played any of them over a consistent period of time to be able to make a judgement.

There are games on the Dreamcast that I would like to play (Grandia 2, Shenmue 1 and 2, Phantasy Star Online, Etc.) There are games on the Playstation 2 I would like to play (well, at the moment, only Metal Gear Solid 2, GTA 3 and Final Fantasy X.) The Gamecube isn't in the UK here yet, and the X-Box is Microsoft. (I'm biased about Microsoft, especially after trying to install Windows NT today.)

If consoles were judged on the quality of games, the Dreamcast would still be out. There are plenty of quality titles out there, but people don't seem to be willing to believe in the system after the Saturn. I shall wait for Final Fantasy X to be released here, and then buy my next gen console accordingly.

Idiots who base their console choice on hardware should be shot.


QED.

I think its like this

1. PS2
2. X-box
3. Dreamcast
4. Gamecube

If we're talking about games then it's:
1. PS2
2. Gamecube
3. Xbox
4. Dreamcast


Anyways, I say it doesn't matter about hardware, it's the games that count. If a system has the best hardware possible in the world and they have only 2 games: Teletubbies and Barney (shudders) then that will obviously be worse then a system with the worst hardware possible but they have 1000 games and 700 of them are really really good!!!

So you see, it doesn't matter (song!!!:)) what system is stronger or has better graphics or has a better hardware, it's the games that count because you can't just play with a PS2 or anything... actually you could but that's kinda sick...

I agree with that order.

GameCube rocks all. The PS2 would be nothing without FF or GTA.

Playstation2 is winning not because it came out first. Playstation2 is winning for 2002 so far. XBox is now in last place (LOL). I don't have a GameCube. I just have a Playstation2 but I will do anything to get a GameCube. I can't whit to get it. But it is not selling good last time I heard. I don't now how it is doing now. But GameCube is the coolest system. Final Fantasy GameCube helL YeaH.

GC is good but it doesn't have many games out. On top of that there really isn't any really good games out. I can say the same thing about GC as you dis about PS2. GC would be nothing without Mario and Zelda.

Who cares? Seriously, tech specs mean zip. All 3 of them have roughly equally good graphics. Who the hell cares? I bash the Xbox for two reasons: 1) It's a Microsoft product, and yes that's a valid reason; 2) It's got shit for games. The only good ones are the Sega ones. The PS2 sure has a lot better games than the Xbox. Xbox can go to hell.

Why don't people understand?

its not the hardware that counts its the dam games get it in your head...all other systems have crappy games cept ps2..

each of them has a strong point...but the XBOX doesnt use his full capacitie because it uses a lot of PS2 games.
the GC uses his best and PS2 mostly.
But dont forget that having fun is the meaning.good graphics isn't always good...

What's a ATi :confused:

I wonder... 5~7 years later... What is your opinion on each system NOW? Now that they have reached the end of their Generation?

5-7 years later, don't revive the thread. Ever.

Mr. Ketchum, I implore you to never post that picture up again. Thank you for your time.

Hint: There's fun times ahead when you revive old threads!
