Ninja Face that is the most stereotypical argument against Xbox i've ever seen infact your whole post is complete bullshit.

Firstly regarding the size of the consoles, does the PS2 have a harddrive? Nope, built in ethernet adapter? Nope, go ahead and spend the money to get those upgrades and you'll find the PS2 to be relatively the same size of a Xbox.

The controllers are huge? have you been keeping up with consoles at all? Obviously not, the Xbox switched its controller design to the Controller S (small) about a year ago, meaning this is the standard controller bundleded with EVERY Xbox. Once again you'll find the sizes of the two to be realatively similar.

Now the graphics department. This is a no brainer here. The xbox can support bump mapping, pixel & vertex shading, and antilasing. Look at Doom III the most advanced graphical game, then look at the systems is slated to be released on, PC, and Xbox. Wait no PS2 why is that? Well basically the brains of the videogame developer world, John Carmack, said it would be impossible for PS2 to run Doom III, given its graphical limitations. It doesnt support any of the advanced graphical techniques he employs to make Doom III shine. Which makes me wonder, what game to do you consider to have the best graphics on PS2? You have to be an idiot to use a mult platform release as a benchmark for the graphics, especially a game like Silent Hill 2 that uses prerendered backgrounds. Developers take little or no time to make changes from one platform to another, graphical changes especially since developers have limited time to port a game, and major graphical overhauls just arent possible.

Next the games. I must say i'm glad the PS2 has more games, seeing how it was released 1 year before the Xbox. However what you probably dont know is that as of Christmas the Xbox had 200 games for its console, which was the fastest pace ever for a console to reach 200 video games. You should also do some further research and take note that Xbox has more games online than any other console.

The Xbox has done much more than any other console to bring radical changes to the console gaming industry, therefore Xbox wins.

Also Titan you might want to check out Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox, its one hell of an RPG, and Fable when it is released.
