[QUOTE="ianuilliam"][QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"][QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"] Bringing up the ps2 is not living in the past, since GOOD ps2 games are STILL coming out. And since the ps2 continues to outsell and be outplayed over the 360. Sony, as a company, would be stupid to stop supporting that and force their users to upgrade before they are ready. So they continue to support it, and offer the choice to move up to next gen as well. THAT was there plan. Why should ps2 be included in ps3 vs 360? Because that is Sony's modus operandi. It was last generation, and it worked, and it is this generation. And Sony consoles, right now are outselling Microsoft consoles. With more games to play on them to boot.

Yes, it is living in the past, as the PS2 is, get this...NOT a next-gen console.
That's correct. But it is in direct comprtition with next gen consoles, since it is being marketed at the same time. And it wins. Let me break this down in simple terms. Let's say I make a console in year 0 that lasts for 10 years. And you make a console in year 1, and then another in year 5. Now You are saying my console is not competition for yours at the year 7 mark, because mine is not next gen. If it still gets bought and played, by virtue of being designed to have a longer life cycle, it is still competition. The fact that I release a NEW console in year 7, while STILL supporting the old one and including backwards compatibility in the new, does not change the fact that the old one is STILL in competition.
If the 'System Wars' can't really be determined until the end of the generation, than all this 360 is winning or wii is winning is pointless anyway, as the last generation is still being bought and therefore not over. Well, not over for anyone but MS, guess they just flat out admitted defeat. Wonder if they will bow out of the 'next generation' before it is over as well?
When are you Sony fanatics going to get it? You do NOT compare last-gen consoles to next-gen consoles. If you can do that, what is stopping people from bringing in EVERY product that the companies have made into play, hmm?
Because Super Mario Bros 1 for NES was not in market Competition with HALO. They were not made and sold during the same period of time. The PS2 games that came out between Nov 05 and the present ARE in market competition with 360 games that released during the same period. Simple enough answer?
So, a last-gen console CAN be compared to a next-gen console, just because it has not been discontinued, defying all rules and barriers of this board and simple logistics. And EVEN when it isn't the primary focus of it's maker, and the number of games being developed for it are greatly smaller in comparison to those for itssuccessor.Awesome, great to know my species still has hope. Here's what I find funny, the ONLY people agreeing with the TC are low-level and low-post-count accounts with PSN tags in their profiles. Interesting.
Meh!Isnt this supposed to be an open forum for people to discuss everything games.
