All I know is I own 163 Xbox games that you can't even play on a ps2 and I don't even own all the exclusive games. That number alone should peek some intrest for most gamers plus most games released for both systems were better on Xbox.Their were great horor games on Xbox silent hill 2,4 Cold Fear and The Thing,Run Like Hell then exclusive games like House of the dead III,Doom 3,Land of The Dead Road to Fiddler's Green and Half Life 2,Call of Cthulhu,Curse Eye of Isis (exclusive in NA).I think the ps2 was a awesome system with huge amount of exclusive games But as a gamer I wouldn't want to limit myself to only that experience I found plenty to enjoy with both systems imo.

And even if you don't like every other game on that list, there's no denying Morrowind. That game alone is worth owning an Xbox or a 360. No other game like it on consoles that generation.

And to answer your question: I'd rather play Morrowind on Xbox because I'm not a PC gamer, and even if I was I'm not bothering with tweaking my PC and looking for files to download to make it work in 2020.

Let's not forget All Xbox's actually have an internal hard drive capability, with the original Xbox coming with a hard drive packed in. and the PlayStation 2 and GameCube needs memory cards in order to save your game progress. If I were you guys and buying all these PlayStation 2 and GameCube games I'd be stocking up on memory cards too. While they are still cheap. Especially if you like sports games like I do. Or not.  ::)


I love both my PlayStation 2 and my Xbox's more than my GameCube. Because GameCube has always been more expensive at least in the past 10 or so years

PlayStation 2 had a room for a hard drive but I never figured out what hard drive is compatible or how to mod a PlayStation 2 how to use it or USB flash drives.

I know xbox had good stuff

but It lacked exclusives and heavy hitting titles (that people seek to replay today) compared to it's competition, also western rpg's like morrowind where far superior on pc let alone more mods, most people who play these series play it on pc not xbox. again a ton of the nostalgia for that series is pc not console.

Only thing I'm saying is that the argument that more people have nostalgia for the cube and ps2 is a very poor excuse to defend the Og xbox.


Xbox has good stuff but the nostalgia argument for the other consoles makes no sense at all. If the library's where comparable in quality with the other 2 sure I'd love to agree with that but it really isn't the case, not many people will agree with that except for really hardcore xbox fans. I was never to fond of sony in the olden days but it definitely has tons of good stuff wich I figured out later on it definitely is pretty impressive it's pretty hard to deny that it might be one of the best gaming libraries of all time. I really can't say the same for xbox it's not even on the same lvl. Again xbox has great titles like otogi, panzer dragoon orta voodoo vince to name some examples, but it's a pretty far cry compared to the peaks of other consoles especially for titles that are playable today for a different experience.

being suprised why xbox hasnt increased that much in price even though there is way less supply and the rare games are more rare isn't that strange if you compare libraries on all 3 consoles. and the lack of said titles for sought after genre's that are replayable today. I'd only call it slightly underrated at best but I definitely don't fault people for ignoring xbox. it's has some fun stuff but nothing to lose some sleep over compared to ps2 and the cube.

western rpg's and shooters, the first having way more fans as pc players and the 2nd in an era where online quality shooters are in an abundance.

And it hasn't changed in the current era, because exclusives on new gen xbox console have basicly become a big meme now it's almost non existent it's only gotten worse with every new console gen

I'm not sure how having more nostalgia doesn't make sense. More people owned PS2, therefore there's more people that get nostalgic about it. It's hard to get nostalgic about a machine you never owned (Xbox).
