> In another two years, GC and PS2 MAY be standing eye to eye, and there is a minute chance that GC will overtake PS2. But we cannot exclude XXXBOX from the mix if we talk about the next 3 years....

Good reasoning... well said, you CAN'T exclude XBOX and also you can't understimate the 2nd party companies that develop games for the PS2... the PS2 has to this date some of the best games avaible on the 3 systems... one can expect to see the quality of the games for that system to grow, not to stand waiting for the GC to overcome them... if they games for the PS2 keep going at this rate the gap won't be THAT small... at least that's how I see it, any other opinions would be apreciated...

DMC2 is coming to PS2. Don't worry about that. And Carnage, please buy an Xbox. If you don't want to give money to developers who work hard to make games, then I would rather it be Xbox developers.

I wasn't aware that Sony had any really powerful 2nd parties. Could you please enlighten me?

My bad I mistook 2nd for 3rd... 3rd party companies still provide GREAT support for the PS2...

I don't get this whole catch up thing. neither the Xbox nor the gamecube will ever have a chance to catch up with Sony in pure software titles. And They are not just gonna stop releasing titles.

If Nintendo or Xbox wanted to compete with Sony with software, They should have been made their systems at that time.

I doubt either system has a prayer of coming within shouting distance of the PS2.

Are you saying sony is concentrating on other stuff? You guys forget that just because they have the Sony brand name.

Sony Computer Entertainment is a division of sony which only concern is making the Playstation brand name a success.

Same with Microsoft. It's merely a division of Microsoft which is devoted to making the Xbox a success.

They work seperately from the actual company. But they are funded by the respective company.

Come to think of it... one can wonder if any of the 2 systems will ever catch up with the PS2... though I admit that the XBOX would have a bit more of trouble for that...

Software wise I don't see it. Unless Nintendo And Microsoft support the console well after the death of the PS2. Which I find highly unlikely.

But its been said. Microsoft didn't come into this expecting to beat the Ps2, But to become recognised as a brand name for gaming.

In the end they may achieve it... or at least that's what it seems...

I think they are doing reasonably well in such a difficult market. I don't expect the market to be just handed to them. What microsoft does is no different than what Sony has done/is doing. Trying to expand their business practice beyond Software.

If they do become a successful brand name as they hope. They will have financial security outside the avenues of the software industry.

It's a good idea for any company to do that.

Best part would be if they finally break up that thing about Japan being the entire center of the video game world... but maybe it's asking too much on my part...

In My Opinion Japan has been losing its video game grounds for almost 2 years now. While alot here won't agree with me. Our American and European titles are becoming more and more interesting as we speak.

And they've been growing in popularity. Just giving it the time it deserves and continue supporting Our american/european economy and only good things can happen.

Well if you build it they will come. You just need to offer the product first.

Every business thinks alike. All things considering. For As long as Microsoft has been active in the gaming industry. They are doing incredibly well.

And obviously they are not going anywhere.
