Ok, simple question, what your fave and why?
Im buying the PS2 at the end of this month because:
A) Its going down in price due to Xbox release (UK)
B) Platinum games are already surfacing (£20 each)
C) Its gonna be around for yonks... Look at the first playstation!!...
Whats your personal fave???...

hmm, crap, it aint that easy for me to decide each has its strengths and weaknesses
1) ps2 already the oldest console, with probably the least graphics capabities and online connectivity, infact rumors going arround that sony are already working on ps3!!,plus the ps2 is the hardest to prgram and make games for, its a right pain for the developers, ps2 is noway gonna last as long as its predecessor, plus side is its got dvd capabilty,its backwards compatible with ps1 (classic games ff7.ff8.ff9.gt1.gt2.vagrant story,mgs), plus its got some triple AAA exclusive titles FFX,FXI,and prob FXIII, GT3 A-Spec, and others, and platinum titles which are cheap
2) gamecube is the cheapest, (uk retailers already complaing bout price!), its easy to program and to make games for, got better graphics than ps2, hmm also got some AAA titles cant wait for mario and zelda (even tho ppl saying it looks weird), and resident evil 1,2,3 and further,but no dvd capabilties (even tho there is a model that has it, wont prob see out of japan, pls more expensive) and ppl compain bout its young kiddy appeal
3) xbox, expensive out of the entire lot, bulkiest but got the best graphics and sound of any console, also got some exclusive AAA titles lined up shenmue 1,2,3, mgs2 and loads other planned for future, plus any decent pc title easily ported over to xbox, programing and making games not too dificult as its similiar to pc architecture, plus its got a HD for storage of save game and extra other stuff, probably the best machine for online conectivity,
problem is each of the consoles, have what i really want, FFX,FFXI on ps2 (even tho FFXI gonna be on pc) GT3 A-spec, zelda/mario/resident evil on gc, and shenmue 1/2/3 on xbox, aggh, if im really gonna play all them games i wanna play im gonna have to get 3 different systems!!!, the dvd and online stuff dont swing my oppinon that much, already got a pc, in the short term im gonna get a ps2 just for FFX and mgs2, but later on i dont know what i'll probably do!!!!!
i really aint got a favorite console, its more that the games matter to me now

well, mine has to be the PlayStation 2, simply becuase I already own one and its rarther good. I'm sure X-box and Gamecube are mighty fine consoles, might even grap that little cube when it comes out simple because its cheap and Nintendo produce quality games. X-box, I'll leave that and see how it does.
GTA 2 for PSX2 is one hell of a game, completeed it now and Gran Turismo 3 is the next purchase. Bit of a racing fan am I.

im still a nintendo fan coz they always got the best quality games
yes they r appealing to more kiddy cutesy market but if u can manage to dis-regard that...there r some excellent games
lets face it, goldeneye is one of the greatest games of all time
when it came out..ppl would be the n64 just for that game!
also mario64 rocked and i cant wait to see what the sequel is like
another game i am looking forward to heaps is Metroid (whatever the name of the sequel is)
saw some screenies and movies of it in action...OMG!
bottom line is Nintendo games have always been the most fun to play
thats just my opinion but im sure its shared by many ppl (going to back to the days of Nes and Snes )

i never had a nes / snes so i aint got them memories...
but most of the games that came out on N64 were cartoony platformers...
.. ps2 seem to have an older age range... and then the X-Box is aimed even older still... whcih i feel is one of the reason the ps2 will still be console champ.. they are aiming at a better targer audience

fair enuff andy..but thats why i have a pc, and a fairly decent one too
altho the advantage of the box is its mainly geared towards games..so it wont have any prob running any game coz all the games r designed and optimized properly to run with the hardware, unlike pc's where u always gotta dl latest drivers or buy a new vid card to take advantage of a few extra eye candy features a new game might offer

that used to really pi$$ me off... dont buy many games for my pc now tho..
and thats why the X-Box should be successfull cos it will have the power of a pc and much more emphasis towards the game side of things...
it just depends how many ppl can be arsed spending all that cash when alot of ppl will have a PC or/and a PS2..

I own an N64, and yep the graphics are more cartoony, but, Zelda I/II & DonkeyKong64 are some of the most addictive & stunning games ive ever played!!! Nintendo are all about gameplay, not so much graphics. Its still a good machine too!!! I play it much more than my PS1!!!

noooooooo, hope it dont flunk out of the market!!!
hehe, squaresoft aparently teaming up with nintendo again
nintendo do make quality games, i remember playing zelda64 for ages, there still some elements in that game that still are unbeatable even after so many yrs, hope they continue making games like this
metal gear solid was addictive, but it was fairly short, if anyones played vagrant story, i found that unattractive at first, but later on i was addicted, it was'nt too short, but you have to play it again to finsih it comletely,
my best games of all time has to be Final Fantasy 7, (still play it, just to play that snowboarding/motobike minigame!!!) and probably transport tycoon deluxe on pc , , mgs is good, gt2 is good (spent ages tuning the cars), avp on pc probably got the best atmosphere of all games!! ahh, just hope i can continue wasting time on games whilst having so much fun in the future!!
i agree, that the pc is a pain for some ppl trying to get games, but for me i aint come across a game that has caused me any trouble getting it to work!! one thing pc's always gonna have the advantage over consoles is fps games like max payne/avp/quake 3, i dont really think these kinda games work well on consoles
hmm, i agree with most of you that the ps2 probably is gonna be on top this yr, but it aint gonna be the king of consoles like the ps1 was, in truth it still/probably aint gonna have as much quality titles as ps1 did
gamecube might make a big impact with its cheap price, and xbox i really cant see it selling bucketloads with it targeted at the older age range and high price

I own a PS2 and it rocks. I have Pro Evolution Soccer, Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 (which I cleared in 3 days ). PS2 has the best games at the moment.

My say is PS II... why because.. all my life i have been surrounded by male cousins who just can't keep their hands off consoles.... Nintendos... blah blah.. then the PLaystation came into the picture... i have bought all three diff models of playstation... PS, PS One, and II... unfortunately i only had PS II for a while... before my dad confiscated it from my bothers and I... (too much time spent.)
The only games i do play on PS is Final Fantasy... and it rocks... (the movie however.... )
SO YEA PS II definitely...

Gotta disagree Nando...i don't think sony always do quality stuff especially when it comes to the playstation
while it may have a few excellent games it has alot of real crappy ones that u could finish in like half a day or so....not as much of a prob with the ps2 coz they seem to have a better quality control over which games r released, but it was a big prob with psone....so many shit games with graphics and gameplay not worth bothering with
i'm a nintendo fan coz i believe they have made some of the greatest games of all time...from the original mario bro's platformers to goldeneye on the n64 (alot of ppl bought n64s just to own that game it was that good!). not saying nintendo hasn't had its probs of course...pokemon argh!
if u can disregard a few mistakes they've made, nintendo r the greatest, they know their shit, and they sure know how to make game u wont stop playing for ages

The thing about the PSone is that making games for it was so easy that a lot of people would make games just because!, and I don´t disagree that nintendo has made a lot of excellent games, but so has SONY and SEGA.
by the way, when I said "SONY in general" I was talking about the whole thing (electronics), and not just the PS.

hmm, sony brand does not equal quality! usually you pay more for the name with anything associated sonywise
Quote: | The thing about the PSone is that making games for it was so easy that a lot of people would make games just because |
yup, right there but....
with the ps2 its the reverse situation making games for it is hard, and was once commented that only the top 5 games companies in the world could probably make games that utilized the full potential of the ps2 (squaresoft,konami,capacom,EA) i think,
and looking at the results it seems fairly certain, and the other 2 console gamecube/xbox have been praised for easy game development and coding
plus, im fairly certain that research for ps3 is well underway, so signs are ps2 aint gonna last as long as the ps1 did
