[quote author=Suzuki Gsxr link=board=gaming;num=1067872799;start=0#20 date=11/11/03 at 22:06:13]Yes I have Broadband, no I have no interest in on line gaming, if I wanted to do that I would do it on my com puter, and I am sorry but you really have no idea what the next playstation spec are or you would never have said that for one thing, Microsoft are dependant on Intel for there Processor's, sony's new processor created between sony, IBM and Apple is so powerful it is the power of 10 PC not one and it will run at a thousand times that of the ps2 that is just the processor, I know intel have only the pentium 5 in progress and no other processor, so let wait and see, and I am sorry but Microsft is a massive name and they had massive promotions and advertisement and it sill only sell 1 to 10 and you are not telling me that people dont know there own mind's by now, I am sure like I said I also own both the PS2 and the Xbox and my feeling's have not changed and million still agree with me even after they try the Xbox, so please give people credit for they view's and except that you love the Xbox ,I love the ps2 and them that like Nintendo games love the Gamecube.

Or and Hi please to meet you, it is nice to talk to people who have different views.[/quote]

I think you will find that the next playstation gaming console will feature a proccesor named 'cell' which is developed by toshiba and IBM, with sony. Not only that but it will be nowhere near '10 times more powerful than any Pc' as its rated to run at 4ghz, and considering the an average pc is about 1ghz, you are just making up figures here. The proc of the new console is not just one proc though. It is apparently supposed to be 4 seperate 'cells' each running at 1ghz.



Also its not 1 to 10 for the every xbox to ps2 sold. Ps2 worldwide has sold around the 60 million mark, whereas xbox is around 18 million last time i checked. Its certainly not 1 to 10, but it is still a major gap between sales of the two consoles.

I own a Gc and a ps2, and my little borther has an Xbox. the xbox is far superior graphically. It has a max resolution of 1920 x 1080, whereas the ps2 has a max closer to 640 x 480. If you want to compare the quality between the two, change your monitor Resolution on your Pc and see what you make of it  

I love my Gc and ps2, and my lil bro's xbox. the ps2 is still quite powerful, and for its actual specs it does perform very well, but the Xbox is much better for graphics. Ps2 is a tidy console, but really many people are brainwashed into buying them, most people dont know that that the ps2 is not as powerful, i often hear people talking about how its much better than the xbox and Gc, when its not. It does have great games, many of thm, but it also has alot more very poor games than xbox or Gc. The xbox has a quality lineup of titles, there are a few bad ones, but much less than ps2. One thing i dispise about xbox fanboys is there constant preaching of Halo, which is not xbo's best game, its average if you ask me, nothing to special, just an overall pretty ok Game.

So there you have it, my thoughts, the xbox is better, does lack a few killer titles, but they will come in time, for the moment the ps2 has more titles, not all good, but theyre there, and as ive already said, alot of ps2 owners are just brainwashed with all the marketing really . .
