What system won last generation (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, or PC)?

The PS2. By a landslide. A HUGE landslide.

The Gamecube was better than the Xbox in my opinion.

The Ps2 won with sales.

Though IMO in terms of game quality the PS2 and Xbox where equal.

And the Gamecube is an indestructible box that nobody wanted to make games for :cry:

are you talking about the outside world or this forum? and what's the reliable method for tracking the sales of gaming pcs?

edit: PC gaming really has no structure like consoles, so it would be impossible to track gaming PC sales. For instance, all 360's are created by Microsoft--yet,not all gaming PCs are made by the same compay, so you have scattered data. Gaming PCs obviously sell more than consoles, but it would be prepostrous to compare the two.

For what it's worth, PC hardware is always doing well. Incidentally, PC makers are reporting an uprecedented growth in top of the line gaming PC sales as of late.

PS2 for consoles and we all know PC always wins. PS2 just has so many outstanding AA and AAA games. Xbox had some good ones, my favorites being JSRF and Halo, GC eh...it had some great games that I played but I never owned one so it doesn't hold a big place in my heart.

You forgot the Dreamcast. :(

On a serious note, the PS2.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="Bentham"] That's utter nonsense. Sales determine console winners. If the question had been, "Which system provided the most quality games in the 2001-2006 era?", then yes the answer would be PC. Bentham

your edit is why we don't use sales to determine the winner here.

Are you kidding?! The PS2 by a landslide!!

And I'm in no way biased, i owned all 3.

In my opinion, it was a neck-in-neck fight to the finish between the Xbox and PS2, and it ended in a draw, because both systems had an equal amount of hardcore games for their fanbases. The Gamecube did not perform well... that's all I can really say about it. Although games like "Melee" were fun, it didn't have enough to "keep it going."awmannn

Look, I owned 2 Xbox's and still do and even I know that the PS2 did not Tie the Xbox, the PS2 had TOO MANY more great games. Point blank.

Now, you seem to go by Hardcore Fanbase, which the PS2 would win as well.
The Xbox was GREAT, but not in any way superior to the PS2...Also, I liked the GC equally to the Xbox, well, almost.

"Which system provided the most quality games in the 2001-2006 era?"Bentham

IDK in sales it was obviously PS2, but in quality imho it was a 3 way tie (I owned all 3 and despite small things IE gamecube had best lighting imo) there wasnt too many differences between them all...dragonfly110

GAMES. Games was the difference. PS2 had more AAAAE's, AAAE's, AAE's, AE's, etc. Heck, Klonoa is coming to Wii, it's a PSOne port, but did those Wii lovers even play Klonoa 2 on PS2? Maximo? SLy Cooper? Okami?

It wasn't even close to a tie, However, someone with limited funds, and little exposure to all of the great last gen games could think that, I suppose.

I played more games last gen than this gen, and if you look at my SIGS, I PLAY A LOT OF GAMES.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]as always, the pc. the system with the most high scoring games is the winner.Bentham

The Dreamcast started last gen, it came out in 1998 in Japan, 1999 the world. The PS2 came out in 2000 and is still active today. The Xbox came out in 2001, died right after HALO 2 came out, but M$ kept it hush hush (Didn't last really more than 3 1/2 years), adn the Cube died, the same way, but was resurrected by Zelda, but it had been dead for awhile.

Since the PS2 just dellivered Persona 4 a few months ago, that's pretty impressive.

PS2 by about 100 million.

IMO though, Gamecube had the best exclusives.

PS2 by about 100 million. IMO though, Nintendo had the best exclusives.Master-Thief-09

Well, actually the PS2 has hit well over $160 million, but who cares. As far as tbe most AAAE's, AAE's, AE's, PS2 won that war by far as well.

Here you go people PC>>>>>>>>>>>>PS2>>>Gamecube>>Xboxmillerlight89

Yeah, that's pretty much how I would list it, too.

The Gamecube had more appealing exclusives for me, though.

PS2 for consoles and we all know PC always wins. PS2 just has so many outstanding AA and AAA games. Xbox had some good ones, my favorites being JSRF and Halo, GC eh...it had some great games that I played but I never owned one so it doesn't hold a big place in my heart.

well someone has to break it down to sales because no one would win any argument. is it the quality, the game sales, who had less jaggies etc etc. i go by a combo of both. as much as i want to say that quality reigns in sw, most industry people would say game sales. even ms admitted that they were trying for second place last gen and achieved 2nd place over ninty. so for me, its about game sales. unless everyone wants to conceed that ps3 had a better year than ms and the ninty still a distant third with the wii...

Well, you could say the Xbox was technically superior (eg.PS2 wouldn't be able to do something like Fable or Morrowind). But of course the PS2 had more good games.

As far as games and sales go:

1. PS2

2. Xbox

3. Gamecube

This would be true if we lived in Bizarro World.

But really it's this.

4. Xbox

I think you meant over 160 million UNITS. A console doesn't cost $1.60.

And since no one owns all the PCs, no one made as much money as Sony did.

Gamecube may have had the least amount of games but it had the highest quality games which is what matters to me most.Zero5000X

And no, Gamecube had the better exclusives, I did say IMO.
