The following reply to XBox vs. PS2 is my opinion. So if the only reply you can think of revolves around "you are a dumbass" then you should save yourself the trouble of posting. If you have a logical argument, then by all means, reply.

The XBox is little more than a PC shoved into a console box. The system is huge. I don't have any exact measurements, but I believe the XBox to be about twice as big as the PS2. What does that mean? If The PS2 is just about as good as the XBox and it takes only half as much space to do it in, then PS2 is better (at the very least, ergonomically speaking).

The controls are simply huge. I've heard that if you were to drop one on a small household pet from 5 feet up, it would kill it. Whether that is true or not, it still illustrates my point. Some of you might be thinking, "Hey, you can go buy the smaller ones." Yeah, I could go buy a lot of things. The PS2 comes with the normal, comfortable controllers.

Some might say the XBox is better simply because it has better graphics. The simple fact that the XBox has better graphics is not enough to make it better than PS2. As crazy as that might seem, how much better are the graphics? Noticably better? No. So if the graphics are not noticably better, is the XBox truly better? No.

The argument might come down to amount of games vs graphics. Amount of games goes to PS2 and graphics goes to Xbox (barely).

If your argument is XBox is better because it has better graphics, get a valid argument. Saying the Xbox is better simply because of unnoticable graphics is like saying cow shit smells better than bull shit. The games that have been made for both consoles such as Silent Hill 2 are no different. I've yet to see anything from the Xbox that truly outclasses the PS2 or even begins to come close.

PS2 Wins.
