I know PS2 has had 4 more years of production, but XBOX1 really did do bad in comparison during the years both were sold. Look whos saying it lol. Normaly I would come to your house and smack you if you said a bad word about XBOX1 lol. You can look at comparative sales firgures (SNES Vs Genesis, SMS Vs Nes, PS1 Vs N64) and see there numbers and see XBOX1 and it did very badly in comparison. It was one of those black horse consoles like Saturn, GC etc. I guess on the plus side it did out sell the Neo Geo and Jaguar lol.
And at first many did slam the Duke controllers but ever since XBOX1 branded as the FPS console people started hunting Dukes. Every Black/Halo/Counterstrike junky I know swears by the Duke
I swear by the idea that hacking sold XBOX1. Of the 24 million sold Id bet $5 at least 50% were modded. I think for this one credit for it moving belongs to us nefarious types that frequent sites such as this.
360 was able to compete on a more level playing field. They didnt get shafted as bad on games. XBOX1 lost the "exclusive" competition hands down. And many franchises that were PS2 exclusive hit XBOX with 360. And you have the purchase of Rare in there as well along with many great franchises while not exclusive are seen by many as XBOX territory, like COD and BF really making a splash.

You're definitely right with that one and I know you are a big original Xbox supporter from way back and I bet that pimp hand is very strong from slapping others. LOL.
I owned a PSX, PS2 and N64 but you are right if you wanted to play FPS the Xbox was the only place to be which I learnt down the track and still have a few original Xbox's in my house to this day.
I love my 360 and the customer support by Xbox has been good to me as well and I believe my next console will be the Xbox One even with all the negatives that has been said about it as I see they also have some great ideas and innovations there too. I'm in no way saying it's the perfect console but I believe it will be the console for me.
However with that said I will be waiting to see and feel the console, controller and software at the EB Expo in Sydney before I make a final decision.

You don't, it's the middle of PS2/DC/GC and 360/PS3 (it was a late release)
Same thing with the Nintendo64 it was twice powerful as the Saturn and Ps1 (but in this case it never used it's full potential)
The PS2 could only push 480p couldn't it? With the Xbox you could push it up to 720p game wise correct? _________________________________________________________ The internet, a place where people expect you to know what they know.

I have a few xbox games that do 1080i - says it right on the box
The real measure of success is the number of games sold not the number of consoles sold. xbox has trumped other consoles as games sold per user but it def had much less consoles sold so it can never claim the crown. The 360 is the biggest money maker in this regard with having near equal console sales to PS3 but a higher games per user ratio. At least when I checked over a year ago this was the case with the 360. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

I sort of wonder how much they would actually sale if peoples old 360s didn't over heart every 2 years that they owned it. _________________________________________________________ The internet, a place where people expect you to know what they know.

My believe is they would have sold more as many left for PS3 over it. It must have stopped allot of potential sales as well with people not wanting to take the chance. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
