Xbox was the best console last gen. right ?

Sorry but Bayonetta's ass craps all over Rachael's

Jet Set Radio Future
Dead Or Alive 3
Dead Or Alive Ultimate
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysey
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath (should have added it dude)
Conker
RaliSport Challenge 2
Halo CE
Shenmue 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Ninja Gaiden
Street Fighter Anniversary edition
Jade Empire
Morrowind
Blinx (deal with it)

These were the game that made the Xbox for me. The more i think about it, the more i believe that there wasnt a best console last gen. The PS2 had the most highest rated games, theres no denying that but it wasnt for everyone (it was for me). What i mean by that is, a person thats a heavy FPS/WRPG player wouldnt find a home on the PS2 and in that regard, the Xbox would be the best console for them. Its something i liked about last gen, each system had its own area it catered too, unlike this gen where everyones going for everything. It meant you needed more consoles, but i liked that.

Im going to make a thread on this later.

It had NGB andSHenmue2, so i think so, if only it had FFX, that would be YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

For me Xbox was the best console of last gen. Xbox Live was outrageously awesome and based on that fact alone wins the "console war" of last gen. Not to mention, it had all the games I wanted to play: Halo 1 and 2, KOTOR I and II, Splinter Cell series (the ones that came out on the PS2 were a joke), Morrowind, Jade Empire, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2, Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Amped 1 and 2, Pariah, Fable, Rallisport Challenge 1 and 2, Rainbow Six 3 and Black Arrow, Deus Ex Invisible War, Ninja Gaiden, and probably a few others that aren't in my game collection. The only things in my collection for Xbox are exclusives, games that also came out on PC, or games that came out on a significantly later date on other consoles.

I bought a PS2 for two reasons: Ace Combat and Amplitude. I used my brother's Wii for two reasons: Rogue Squadron and Resident Evil 4.

Nothing could compare to the original Xbox for me. My friends and I all brought our Xboxes over to a friend's basement every weekend and had the longest 16 player Halo games. Honestly, those are some of my favorite memories from that time. A PS2 or Gamecube couldn't have provided that experience or those memories for me. Xbox FTW

I kinda agree since i had more games for it than for PS2. I used PS2 for exclusives and Xbox for everything else.

A discussion of a last gen console turned into PS3 vs Xbox 360. Why am I not surprised?

gameofthering

It's strange because the logic in this thread makes the Nintendo Wii the Winner because the Nintendo Wii is the Weakest of the 3 consoles and the PS2 was the Weakest last gen. (Graphicswise)

You implying Dreamcast right?

Playstation 2 won at sales

Gamecube won at 1st party games

Xbox won at graphics

I think down the road the Xbox will get it's props. As of now everyone will say PS2. I'd still say Xbox because...

- HD gaming. Every game was at least ED.

- First Console with a harddrive

- First real online console gaming

- By far best graphics

- Faster loading, etc

- Awesome games (Crimson Skies, KotoR, Halo, Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, Riddick, Forza, etc)

what's ED?

- people will just stante the PS2's optional hardrive

- People will just state Dreamcasts' online

On sales alone ps2 is the best

list of most sold games consoles last gen

ps2

gameboy advance ( oh yes the gba sold more than the xbox)

xbox

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles

ummm no. Ps2 was the best in sales and games, gamecube was the best in terms of graphics (see resident evil) xbox was best online thoRenzokucant

▲ Xbox may have had best graphics, but PS2 had good graphics and the best library of games. The gamecube had....melee? ▲

Loco_Live

The Gamecube had Melee, MGS: Twin Snakes, Zelda: Wind Waker, Pikmin, Luigi's Manson, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, Soul Calibur 2, Twilight Princess, and even had a Peripheral to play GBA games.

Ps2 was by far the best console last gen, much more A,AA,AAA titles and its best games like FFX, MGS2, MGS3, Dark Cloud games, Gran Turismo games God of War 1 & 2 etc where among the very best games of the gen.

ohthemanatee

In other words, an SDTV with Progressive Scan.

technically the ps2 crushed it but really i played my xbox far more than i ever played my ps2.

hell, i may have played rallisport challenge 2, rainbow 6 and ghost recon more than everything on ps2.

Wrong, it's a 100% fact that the PS3 has the best stats in terms of games and scores in it's time frame, that is the very defintion of consistent. It beats the 360 by a little and the Wii by a ton. Gamtrix

what you defined is an average, not a consistency

so the Xbox and wii are ED but none of them are HD, is that it?

there's also a List of 720 p games. So I guess I got the SpideR_CentS wrong, Xbox Original Games were AT LEAST ED. (He even said that so I should really start reading a little more.)

xbox - graphics and online

[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="Gamtrix"] Higher average in a shorter time frame makes it more consistent. Gamtrix

PC yes, 360 no. The 360 has been anything but consistent these last 3 or 4 years. WHich is like 80% of the console war. The PC yes.

Gamtrix

you seem to like to present your opinion as fact. btw, still waiting on that gamertag.

[QUOTE="Gamtrix"]

[QUOTE="clone01"] going by the spreadsheet, then, PC would be the most consistent, followed by the 360. the 360 has a higher overall rated library.clone01

[QUOTE="Gamtrix"][QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]

How is it the most consistent? They went from no AAA titles for almost two years, lossing money on each PS3 sold for 3 years to a lot of AAA titles and making profit.....hardly consistent...

DroidPhysX

Ummm....thats not consistent. Two years of mediocrity to 3 years of good-greatness is not even close friend. If any console is consistent its the Wii...(teh sales)

I had all 4 systems last gen, and to be honest I found the GC to be the best. DC had a great start, and would have probably been my fav, but alas it died before it could really shine.

Barely and only because of the year on the market alone. That has 0 to do with being consistent. And I'm not going to give you the gamertag I use because it's shared and I don't own the box. I just game on it. Gamtrix

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="FIipMode"]

On the spreadsheet yeah.

xbox was last if anything its the ps2 or gc but it had great online for its time

There's no need to even respond to that anymore. If you had read I actually said I was wrong.

The Ps2 was way better than x-box. I might be in the minority in SW but i honestly thought the X-box sucked, and sucked hard. Though the ps2 was the best, I had the most fun with my Gamecube.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]

But best console isn't decided by best graphics you know that, it's about the exclusives it has.

SecretPolice

There may be 1 or 2 umm PC/Xbox games there but who cares right ?:P

I'll take the pic just for you. Gamtrix

But PC doesn't count as a console. They cater to a different niche :D
