Got GBA within 2/3 months of launch. Cube in early 2002. Used dreamcast in 2002 or 2003. The holiday Xbox bundle with Tetris Worlds/Starwars whenever that came out. Neogeo Pocket Color when EB Games/Gamestop started selling the liquidated warehouse stock that completely made zero mention of SNK on the packaging. Pokemon Mini in mid to late-ish of the decade from a Canadian online store that had a bunch of them. Got a PS2 when the silver slim model launched. Likewise used an eMachine during the era to replace my 90s computer for peecee gaming. Only hardware i didn't get that i wanted from back then was the N-Gage.

You really need at least two of these to have a decent version of every game worth playing. PS2 had the best exclusive library, but it got pretty bad ports of games made with something else as the lead platform.

>> No.10223618

You pick the console that has the kind of games YOU want to play. Gamecube is family friendly, PS2 is more geared to older teens, and Xbox is for grown men who like Halo.

Is there any graphic comparing PS2 vs. Xbox exclusives?

I would pick PS2, but GCN has a really strong library.

PS2 had Sly, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo, MGS, God of War, Ico/SotC, DMC, Kingdom Hearts, and a ton of JRPGs,

Whereas Gamecube had Animal Crossing, Wind Waker+ Twilight Princess, Melee, Paper Mario TTYD, Pikmin, Star Fox Adventure + Assault, Viewtiful Joe, Super Monkey Ball, Metroid Prime, Rogue Squadron 2, and F-Zero GX.

Honestly though looking at that library I just named, GCN seems stronger, but I'm probably missing a bunch of games.

Then Xbox in third, then Dreamcast in dead last (one of the worst libraries of all time)

The PS2 gives you nearly two generations of console libraries to play through.

>> No.10223693

This is true, but in this instance you can only choose one system.

PS2 cuz of PS1 compatibility so I can still play Silent Hill 1, Warhawk, and Disruptor.

Outside of the US, video games are instead called "computer games". Calling them software isn't aspergic because it's literally what they are and it's what we've always called them, and the reason we call them software is also the same reason we didn't call them "Nintendo tapes" lol

Debatable. PS2 version has Separate Ways which is awesome but it also has worse graphics. The Wii version is the best of both
>Sonic Adventure better on GameCube
Very, very debatable.
>NFS Underground better on Xbox
I'd agree but I also want to point out that no version is perfect. The PS2 version has a really nice motion blur effect missing on Xbox and there's sometimes noticeable lightmap pop-in on Xbox.
Anyway, I'd add GTA III and VC as being better on Xbox than PS2

What makes TimeSplitters 2 worse on the Xbox? It's the only version I've played on the actual console.
