Xbox 360 release dates revealed

sweet thats a date that I will have to keep open for playing video games.

I think i'm gonna hold out, cause i here the PS3's gonna have a lot more JUICE (graphic wise) then the xbox 360! + Blu-Ray.

I know what 'm gonna be doing this Thanksgiving!! I just hope I don't get turkey on my controller ;). This release makes me feel like a kid again...like it's the night before Christmas or something.

Waiting till PS3 comes out. Not because of graphics, but because of game catalogs, and by then if I choose to buy XBOX360 (Which I predict I probably will), it will be cheaper. =)

I'm with you toiletman, I'm hearing that blu-ray is going to beat the pants off of XBOX360.

OK bluray, lets take a 50GB disc and only use 13 GB on it for the game...and charge people more for it. That makes sense.

Xbox 360? whoopdy-doo. I think i'll wait for the saviour of the game console industry to come out.

that is wack. I think i'll hold up till taxes come again.Then i'll have money :)

Well I'm australian soo ill have to wait anyway... So ill wait some more and c how much the prices drop and change and also see what other gadgets u get with either of the consoles... I'm going to india at the end of the year soo u never know what is possible there soo i may get somethin there... The only thing im sure of isim gonna c if i can get a projector for my laptop.... Well also price is a big thing ill also wait for prices to drop at the moment i am impressed with X Box but ill like many others here hold out till i c what sony does...

I'll hold out for the PS3 too, though I think the Revolution is actually the next-gen system I'm looking forward to the most.

"OK bluray, lets take a 50GB disc and only use 13 GB on it for the game...and charge people more for it. That makes sense." -The point is you won't have to buy a seperate blue-ray dvd player, those will be quite expensive when released therefore you get a two in one type deal with Sony.

So you're choosing between games(which you are going to be playing almost all the time) and a DVD which you mihgt pop in a few times a month. I'd chooose the games.

So your saying that blue-ray is the future? What about HD-DVD. Eveyone knows that Microsoft is leaning toward Toshiba and HD-DVD.

well lets remember that sony has gotten companies to release movies on umd so U know they can do the same with the blue rays if they choose.

mkaseatgb,,, I am sorry to say this but honestly if the games where such a big deal to you over the ability to watch the movies on the system, Well if that were true, then you wouldnot even be considering buying a xbox360. Microsoft has never had a chip on the shoulder of the games that Sony has had. That is why there are only around 22 million xbox worldwide and more than 33 million PS2 just in North America alone. There are more that 100 million PS2 sold worldwide. Hummm 22mill, 100 mill??? Now where do gamers go for games and selection?? That's right. Bring it home to daddy. Sony wins!!!

u don't see microsoft including HD-DVD in there console. GO SONY!!! BLU-RAY.

[QUOTE] OK bluray, lets take a 50GB disc and only use 13 GB on it for the game...and charge people more for it. That makes sense.[/QUOTE] i have to agree 100%

The games will prob stay around the same price they are now... Also they may still use CD and DVD based games, only releasing large games (Maybe with lots of video) on blu-ray discs.... Its like the PS2, some games are CD based and some are DVD... You can get single sided 25Gb discs too... Also their may be multiple games released on one disc (eg. Classics from the PS2 etc) who knows : )

i agree with the blu-ray thing... the blu-ray player in the ps3 should really be an ADDED BONUS to something you already want because of the GAMING CAPABILITY...not the reason you choose it over the 360. all i believe is that you shouldnt waste your breath arguing over which is better when you have played neither. we have a few stats & rumours but nothing is 100 % totally true unless stated by microsoft/sony. imho you should invest in an xbox360 even if you plan 2 get ps3. because its relatively cheap. i had a ps2 and decided to get an xbox because i wanted to see what it was like. they both have great, different qualities. i believe the ps3 and the xbox360 will follow suit. we all know the ps3 will probably still domin8 but the xbox at its price is good to tide us over for the months in wait for a ps3. ill get both because i agree with me :P

Considering that I work, I'm not cheap, and that I love video games, I'm gonna be buying the Xbox 360 when it comes out, and then buying the PS3 when it comes out. Why settle for 1 when you can have both? Unless one console is just ridiculously better than the other, I think I'll enjoy having both...

same hooshies im getting both :P

I hear that stand-alone Blu-ray players could be over $1000 when they first come out. This really swings my vote to getting a PS3. Another reason being, my roomate is already getting an Xbox360 LOL. A quick question -- how does the graphics processor in the Xbox360/PS3 compare with PC video cards such as the top of the line 7800GTX?

what so you believe that there will be NO blu-ray player cheaper than the ps3? especially as it's made by sony. if anything, sony is one of the most of expensive makes...rite? so i think nearly all bluray players will be cheaper than the ps3

Ok maybe there will be some "el-cheapo" Chinese models available, but do you really want to buy them? Even if the PS3 sells for $399, its still a good deal, considering that the el-cheapo standalone players may be mid to high triple digits at (release). Its a Sony.

This is what I am going to do......Buy the 360 bundle package AND a core system......sell the core system on Ebay for a nice profit and it will pay for part of the bundle that I will keep.......And do the same for the PS3.......I have to have the first in the hood to have the new systems.....Its good to be old enough to buy what I want and not have to beg for it....AHHHHH sh*t I still have to bet the wife well I'll just have to throw her a bone......win win for me

Ritam2001, Stand-alone Blu-ray players are and have been sold for sometime now and they run almost 4x what you thought at $3,875 USD through eBay or you can also buy direct from Sony in Japan. Sofar they are only sold in Japan with exception to those who will export them to you through eBay. I can't beleive anyone would pay that kind of money but I suppose if you have a high desposible income what the h*ll. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Blu-Ray-High-Definition-DVD-Recorder-Pla...

blu-ray is gonna f****** kick a** :D We'll need the extra space to make the games HD, adding in all the intricate details. HD-DVD, on the other hand, aint even gonna come out with the 360 for at least the first couple of versions. why does just about everybody think that blu-ray is gonna hold just games? again, it can hold more movies.

yer blu-ray great lots of storage ok yeh......what you gona store in 50gb? i am a neutral here as i intend to get both but some of you seem a little brainwashed. i have absolutely no idea bout the price of blue ray players. all i know is if SONY of all people are doing a ps3 with an INCLUDED blu-ray, do you actually think other companies gonna retail at four figure prices, like you seem to think?? come on, use your brains. sure they're expensive now. that's because not a lot of people are familiar with it. the very first blu-ray models in full retail (not on ebay, when you see them in many shops) will be out before the ps3 so sure they will be expensive. but by the time the ps3 is out, the prices will be lower than the ps3. these people aint stupid....

@ Lethal_B: Thats why I said "mid to high triple digits", not $$$$'s. Of course the prices will go down -- how much is still very uncertain though... @MrMovies: Thats a recorder. No way the PS3 will have recording abilities. But you are right, its insanely expensive. My point is basically this -- why get an expensive standalone next-gen DVD player when you can get it in the form of a PS3 which you can also use to play games?

Console is a dying breed...once computers are afforadble for all .....and you brain washed console junkies get a glimpse of what pC is capable of ...you too shall leave all your fancy shmancy consoles to be nothing more then dust collectors...its funny if you think about it consoles are mini computers for half the price of a reg pc(xbox360 and ps3 refernce)...big deal... spend the money and buy your self a real machine...eventually consoles will turn into full blown computers and guess what i wont have to wait 15 years to see the day because i already own one..

@ritam2001 It sounds like that you are gettin the PS3 more for the DVD player than the games. Fine. Just remember, the PS3 is 2, maybe 3 years away. And theres no guarantee that the PS3 is definitly gonna have it, because a PS3 doesnt even exist yet.

Ya really. All ive read today is that " Oh im going to wait for PS3 cause its got Blu-Ray ". WTF is Blu-Ray going to do to make games better huh????. I thought the whole point of gettin a new system was to play better and more graphical games on it then the original one. If all u want it for is to play Dvd's then go out and buy a dvd player for like 80 bucks and there u go. u dont have to spend 600 bucks on a system that has Blu-Ray. And obviously, Xbox 360 has got the best and the better of games then Playstation will ever have in my mind. Sony may have all the technologies and contracts with these big name movie and game companies, but they dont have 1 thing, the skills and smarts on what a gaming system should be.

There is no way sony could sell a Blu-Ray player for a grand, then sell PS3s with blu-ray for $400. They would get investigated by every consumer agency so fast its not funny. So either blu-ray players are gonna be cheap, the PS3 won't have blu-ray or you'll need a loan to buy a PS3

It's gonna be like Xenosaga...even more useless movies put in yet $30 more expensive per game

mxndemon.....You may be correct but i doubt it will happen in the next decade so dont hold your breathe. Sony did not patent its new chip for the PS3 for nothing. As far as I have heard it is suppose to be new tech. that is why they patent it. Even Microsoft does not have anything that can match it yet and there is no other company that to date has produce anything that I have read of that can do what it do on the screen baby. So I dont think any computer can touch it. Computer are more versitle an do way more but xbox360 and the PS3 are not just some rookies when it comes to the gaming industy.

The new console are becoming more and more complex and offering us so much more than just gaming experiences in some cases. If they are not careful, as prices of technology goes down the computers may be the ones to become obselete in the future. They have already been putting HD on ps2 and xbox. If they ever happen to make the mistake of putting a windows operating system on any consoles and then a burner then what would you need a computer for. I know that is nothing likely to happen anytime soon. But if it ever does what would you need a computer for then. Instead of console being a dying breed, computers might be the ones in trouble if these console continue to offer more and more with the years and new consoles to come. You know that Sony and Microsoft both really would like for the systems to be the center of your home entertainment providing all your needs in one. You gaming, web browsing with a huge HD, and recording ability etc...... Years away from happening... but not impossible or too far fetched an idea.

Toiletman..... i totally agree with you again. More gigs on a disc and better graphics on top of better graphics and more gigs doesnt make a good game. But some of these idiots out here you can get a logical point out to. Those are the same ones that say that the ps3 sucks or the xbox360 sucks but have not had a chance to play and truely compare them yet. LOL How stupid. Both systems will thrive and everyone has their opinions to which will come out ahead but that is just opinions as of right now. I do honestly think PS3 will be the better system and not b.c of the more power that they are suppose to have. This is not the first time this topic has come up and it surely wont be the last. It is deja vu all over again just like with the xbox and ps2. My friend kept saying man this is Bill Gates we are talking about and his system is more powerful. I told him I understood but i had been reading of the developers were going to make games for the PS2 and not the xbox. Sure enough the better library of games on the PS2 dominated the more powerful system in the Xbox as people kept saying xbox is going to kill the ps2. Well, it did not happen. I am a realist type and dont mind hearing anyones opinion as to why they think or beleive what they beleive without becoming offended. I respect Microsoft, but for those of you out there that can handle the truth without getting upset about me saying this,... The xbox got there a$* whipped. Beat down. Skull drug. Man!!...., sony drug them through the Mississippi river and dumped the body in a junk yard and put a not around their neck saying they bad a#$ yellow boy. But some of yall loyal xbox fans not hearing me though. Man just search the sales numbers for the sytems. Now for those of you who can not handle the truth, i expect to hear a counter argue but before you do that please...., please google and find the current number of xbox systems sold worldwide and then do the same for the ps2. Then with still having respect for the xbox being a great system and superior to the ps2 in raw power dont waste your time when you see exactly what i meant when i say that Sony dealt them boys a Royal flush. Sales are not even comparable and that is still with all respect to Microsoft and the xbox and 360 which i wouldnot mind owning. I am getting a PS3 too. Graphics dont make the system so stop argueing about that point. It has been shown to be a fact that the games will make or break the system. Microsoft had better hope they do better on their video game library this time around or let see....., how shall we say, Deja vu all over again............

You know what? How can we really compare a game system that is coming out in two mnths and a gaming systen that isnt even build yet? We just have to wait and stop arguing.

Just a word on the xbox 360's price,ref to uk price as stated on the above thread,£209 ? cheapest i can find it for is £279 on amazon.com

You know, i think that M$ diserves another shot... The XBox hit a few out the park as far as exclusives such as Forza,(i hate to say it) HALO, KOTOR, Fable, Splinter Cell is better on XBox(so i count that too), not to mention the addictive online play of games like RB6, Ghost Recon, Conker Live & Reloaded. And 360 they seem to be in the right direction as far as games are cocerned... by signing on SquareSoft, i guess that will get more traditional RPG's on the 360. And the bs about the PS3 being more powerful is tiresome... this link (PIMPED by mkaseatgb) should explain in plain english there isnt much difference between the two and its possible that the 360 has a slight edge. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html. And the bickering between the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray needs to stop. The bald headed sum-bitch for M$ already said that they left the option to upgrade down the road. Not to mention the PS3 has to use the first of the blu-ray drives. As the CD and DVD have shown us in the past first is not necessarily mean better. IM NOT ps3 bashing by any means im just saying your reasoning is sketchy and manipulated by propaganda. Make your own decision... not by the pre-launch propaganda but by actually playing the games then disciding which you prefer.

Wow, couldnt say it any better myself.

thnx

da won, you have got it perfectly there. nice one. thatll stop the bitchin! :)

Ive just heard so much bickering back and forth when only a select few with no allegience to either side see the whole picture... DarkmanDisciple is the gamertag Top 5 games im playing: 1. Rainbow Six: Lockdown 2. Delta Force: BlackHawk Down 3. Pariah 4. Conker Live & Reloaded 5. Forza Motorsport Thats my top five. If you notice Halo 2 is not listed... its a well known fact that it isnt the only decent game for XBOX... I keep jumping from forum to forum and all i keep hearing about is Halo 2 & and Halo 3. NOTE TO GAMERS THERE ARE OTHER GREAT MULTIPLAYER GAMES FOR XBOX THAN HALO.

the second part to my post just had to be said even though it was off topic.

I'm glad that xbox 360 is coming out this year. Is been like what 5years seen xbox. I heard that PS3 is coming out late 2006, maby 2007.

Am I the only only person who finds the idea of being loyal to a company that makes games consoles strange? Take "lxhotboy" for example when he states

for sanity on an insane forum speak to lcarbutt

Now how true is that. Only 1 question here. What about Nintendo's Revolution. Have any of u guys seen the controller for that thing, its like a remote control in 1 hand and a joystict in the other. But frankly to say, thats the only cool part of Nintendo, Xbox and PS take away their glory with their own graphics and design and coolness that every gamer wants in his pad .

lcarbutt.... would you mind pointing out where i stated that i was a loyal fan to sony or any other system? I never said that and by saying that microsoft got drug through the Mississippi i was merely stating facts as the xbox flopped when it came to sales and that is not an opinion or any loyalty to that statement. That is what we called a statement that can be researched and proven, or in other words just reality. I did say i am a realist. xbox's butt is where sony kicked over 100 million units out and microsoft only got about 22 million last i read. That is reality not being loyal to a system. i am not loyal to any system. If you can read you would know i am all about the library of games. I did say that and that is the one thing that you can look back at and find in what i wrote previously.I did though givee an opinion of where i thought the best library of games would be considering that microsofts previous system came up very short in that area. Again that is not loyalty so learn to interpret things a little better next time please.

Can we please talk about something else either then the Mississippi River or Sony trying to Beat out Xbox 360 in this race or Blu-Ray. How bout we talk about how like cool Xbox 360 is being the first of the 3 systems coming out this year or wat kind of specs that u r most stunned about in the Xbox 360. HUH????????

LMAO ALright man. I dont really care too much for the specs b/c the specs of the system dont really matter. Graphics are not going to make the games a great game. What would impress me is if someone could list some of the games that will be released on the xbox 360 that are big releases. What developers are currently working on games and what games they are working on would really interest me.

OK Man. Here are the 12 launch games already announced: 1. Perfect Dark Zero 2. Kameo : Elements of Power 3. PGR3 4. Call of Duty 2 5. Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter 6. Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion 7. D.O.A. 4 8. Tony Hawks : American Wasteland 9. Condemned 10. The Outfit 11. Quake 4 12. NFS : Most Wanted As far as games that are in development : 1. Halo 3 2. Gears of War 3. Final Fantasy XI 4. Sonic ???? 5. Full Auto

Having kids i know why they picked that date to rls it. Right before Christmas its a conspiracy my kids are already bugging me about it and with it being around Christmas u can bet it will sell. Wanna bet when the ps3 is rls'd its around Xmas too

PS3 isnt planning on an xmas release if they dont push it back. It is a good marketing strategy thought.

Could you show us these "astonishing" sales numbers, because I found none,"lxhotboy."

@crazydesi: just leave it man, the kid is a fanboy whichever way you look at it.

I would be shocked if PS3 will sell more then xbox360.

Lethal_B... you are correct. I am a fanboy. I am a fanboy of whatever system has the best library of games. Always have been and always will be. Not to any system. crazydesi.... You are seriously telling me that you cant google and find some current sales numbers on the sales number that microsoft and sony released???? Are you serious or kidding??? U got to be kidding. hold on and let me find it so i can spoon feed the baby.

Excuse me, but i think you'll find the PS2 had a WIDER catalogue of games. whether they were BETTER or not is down to PERSONAL opinion is it not?? all this crap about dragging it through the mississipi metaphor rubbish is making you look a right idiot.

Ill admit it, i have a ps2, though i am not impressed. The library of games and the different types are appealing. I just think that the xbox takes in those games (the ones they get) and makes them better.

Obviously the games for Xbox 360 are goin to own, but i havent really seen any PS3 games except for Killzone, Fight Night : Round 2 & FFX2. Now i dont know about you, but id rather own a system that has a lot of different kinds of games that are playable right now, then waiting 2 years and playin games that arent as good as Xbox 360 and probably costs more for the system. And heres a question for PS3 fans, What the hell do you need 6 usb ports for????

oh please dont start all that again, jason. we've just restored law and order here.....

SRRY. I didnt read the whole thing except for the last reply. I didnt know that u guys already talked about PS3 vs. Xbox 360. I just wanted to know Why Sony put 6 usb ports on the back of PS3???, I dont even think there are 6 different things that u can plug into them. BUT I DONT KNOW. Im not a huge fan of theirs. SRRY AGAIN!!!!!!!

I cant wait for this system and the ps3......more gaming for me

PS3 ALL THE WAY...MUHAHAHA im sorry but come on 360? get out !! but ye jason does hav a little point why 6 ports ? o Well :P il be gettin it n e way ...daddy bear will still pay for me no matter what !! LOL :P :) AND BLUE RAY DISCS ROCK !! its been stated dat half of american ( buildings and roads graphicated) can be put onto one of those discs WOW !! so they do put a little shock to your heart considering that right now we only technicaly have like 8.4 gig cds SO YAYYY to BLU RAYYY!!

I think the PS3 is going to support quite a few USB controllers, so at least four of those ports could easily be used for people who opt not to use the wireless controllers.

O ok kool thnkx...was wonderin why ? and yeh ill go without the wireless stuff ..i think cordedz alot EASIER

[QUOTE]lcarbutt.... would you mind pointing out where i stated that i was a loyal fan to sony or any other [/QUOTE] You didn't, but you did imply that other people do when you said [QUOTE] but for those of you out there that can handle the truth without getting upset about me saying this[/QUOTE] I agree with you, their are people on this forum who have strange loyaties to game consoles, who do in fact take it personally when you put down "their" console.

Yeah, the console will come with one wireless controller, and when you are playing, you can choose six more wired ones. That is stupid, though, seven ports, how the hell do you split that up. I mean three is possible for an odd number, but seven?

Didnt we already have this discussion here? Or was that in the PS3 Vs 360 thread?

Lethal_B.... Actually that Mississippi dragging thing is a song, I did not make up some metaphor thought i did use it as such. If you had ever heard the song you might understand. But i guess you cant hear Jimmy. LOL Did you understand that one?? or do you need me to transalate that one for you????LOL Everyone also knows that PS2 has the best catalogue of games so stop wasting keystrokes here.

So anyone find those crazy numbers about the ps2 and the xbox mississippi incident.

erm dat ps2 has the best catalougue of games !! ...

HAHAHAH. LOL. U think that Playstation has way better games then Xbox. I almost laughed my ass off because that was just about the stupidest thing i have ever read. " PS2 has a better games catalougue ". WTF. Can u put the catalougue in the disc tray and start to play the catalougue on ur PS2. NO. Why??? Because the catalougue doesnt make games, developers and publishers make them for u to play. AND WOW!!!! PS has a better catalougue. WHOOPPIE!!!! its like " Oh the catalogue is the best thing since sliced bread and who cares about playin games when u can look at them in a wonderful, colored catalogue. GET WITH THE F***in PROGRAM.

xbox is the crap...its big fat ugly and sluggish ! alll games come out on ps2 b4 then 2 xbox apart from the ' xclusive games ' which 2 be honest r not all THAT !! but hey thats my opinion PS2 all the way no need to get all xcited ova it ...calm down !!

Jason8, by catalog, he meant selection of games. Games are always (at least to most people) what make or break a system. Graphics, price and ease of control are all factors, but ultimately the games are what make the difference. As yet, the only game that even looks worth renting to me on the Xbox 360 is going to be Halo 3. But, hey to me all the Halos so far have just been glorified Golden Eyes (which I can play on the 64 without buying anything new). Sure, lots of people like Halo and other Xbox games more than I do, but there are plenty of games for the PS consoles that you might not like that thousands out there would sacrifice their food money for, too. It's amazing how many people just refuse to accept that others may have a different opinion that they do. You like Xbox 360 the most (obviously), others like PS3 the most, others like the Revolution the most, some will buy all the consoles, and some don't even like video games. Get with the program.

Yep, everybody is entitled to to their own opinion...except donkeema because I cant read his (please learn some grammar)

@donkeema Where have you been for the past five years? How about a couple of games like: Half-life 2, KOTOR I and II, Morrowind, Fable, and Doom 3? Oh yeah, and there is a game by the name of HALO!!!

I think ps3 is gonna be better be cause it has 510 gb and xbox 360 has 360.some idiots i know still think that xbox360 will have better graphics.I am going to get xbox360 for christmas(reserve).Xbox360 is going to launch in mid-november.the 12th most likeley.ps3 is set to launch in early march of 2006.in my opinion,ps3 will be better. xbox360 is going to cost $300 and a modded one for $400.The modded one plays original xbox games.ps3 at e3 was rumored to be $375.No,I did not go to e3 but my relative did.

The companies say that playstation is a single-player game console. Xbox is a multi-player game console. Poles say that more people play single player than multi-player. That is only at certain hours of the day. So ps2 and ps3 and ps1 are all for single player.xbox and the 360 are multi-player.

Jason8 man you are tripping. Just about everyone here knew the selection of games it what was being discussed when "catalogue" was used. Nonoitall knew how to interprete what was being discussed. Man you made yourself look real dumb when we are talking about apples and you are talking about oranges. And you know what else, you have to be the smartest guy here to know that quote, "Because the catalougue doesnt make games, developers and publishers make them for u to play." Man that was deep. I mean really deep. No one, I mean no one else here knew that but you man.

crazydesi.... Let me ask you this just being honest before i go and put this link on the page so everyone can see what i was saying about the sales of the xbox and ps2. Do you honestly beleive that xbox sold enough systems to put a dent in sony's dominance in the video gaming industry. Let me tell you i have posted the link before on AD for some fool who said Xbox outsold the PS2 worldwide so finding it again is not that hard. back around may and june the sales numbers were like this xbox 22 million worldwide PS2 100 million worldwide. hell there are more ps2 here in north america alonethen there are xboxs in the entire world.

That is not a fanboy post. That is called real life. That shows you which system has the best selection of games. If you dont think that it does, then that is your opinion and you are entitled to that. but let me remind you that your opinion is not shared by many others if you do think that the xbox has a better selection of games.

If Microsoft plan to ever put a dent into Sony's market of gaming, releasing their system first in a start and one of the best marketing stratedgies they can have used. Now the only thing they need to do after the release of the xbox 360 is show the world that they can get the big games too.

[Quote]The top 10 software titles for the first six months of the year were dominated by PlayStation 2 games. Sony's console had six games in the top 10, including Sony Computer Entertainment's Gran Turismo 4 in the top slot. Nintendo had the second most games in the top 10. Game Boy Advance games held two positions with Pokemon Emerald at second place and Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap at seventh. The lone GameCube representative was Capcom's Resident Evil 4 in the eighth slot. But that tied Microsoft's entire Xbox contingent, with the tenth-place Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith lingering at the bottom of the list. [/Quote] That was pulled from gamespot. Link is http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/07/28/news_6129940.html

This is exactly what microsoft doesnot want to do on the xbox 360. Fail to put enough games into the consumer must have list.

Sorry but i do admit i was wrong on the sales numbers for the PS2 and Xbox. The psx has sold the 100 million units. http://www.nlgaming.com/nl/asp/id_6029/nl/newsDisp.htm Desi.... here are your numbers. Here a link so check it out for yourself so that you can come out of denial thinking that the xbox really did well against the ps2. There is plenty of other evidence online supporting this post so if you still dont believe it i can find other links too. I found another on CNET but here is one that shows the comparison of both. PlayStation vs. Xbox worldwide shipment comparison: Source: Company earnings Worldwide Hardware Shipments PlayStation 2 (Life-to-date as of 6/30/05) Worldwide Hardware Shipments Xbox(Life-to-date as of 6/30/05) 91 million units (Playstation 2) Breakdown: N. America: 36.78 million Japan: 21.25 million Europe: 32.97 million 21.9 million (Xbox) Breakdown: N. America: 14.6 million Japan: 1.8 million Europe: 5.5 million Now let me say this one last time. I am not a fanboy. It all about the games. Now if i must be a fanboy LOL then i really does not matter to me. LOL b/c there are only 22 mill xbox fanboys and 90 million PS2 fanboys if we want to call everyone a fan who post some truth to real life sales success of these systems. Looks like most people who thinks that xbox has the better selection of games as an opinion doesnot hold more water than a cup with a hole in the bottom.
