PS2 had a year head start and had a great lineup of games coming out around the time the Xbox and GameCube launched. The PlayStation brand was just too strong, especially in Europe and Japan. There’s no way the Xbox was going to make much of an impact in those regions.

I’m still mad the OG Xbox never got a port of RE4. It would’ve been the best one.

Late to the party and a new brand, that's about it. Which is shame because Xbox and the 360 were good. I always remember how I think it was Bill Gates decided to incorporate the features that soft/hard modders implemented into original xbox into the 360 as natural improvements. Shame that the xbone fucked everything up.

Why did you decide to feel raped because the console you dislike won the generation 25 years ago? Not even Kevin Nash was this much of a KWAB

PS2 was the sequel to psx, so it was a juggernaut, every european country in 1999-2000 werewaitng for ps2, it was the device that you really need a quantum leap from 32bits generation. And it was thanks to Gran Turismo and other games.But hey don't worry anon years later, like 20 years ago xbox360 won to ps3 in next gen.

an old friend of mine deliberately bought one solely because everyone else had a ps2. he figured he'd be able to play ps2 at everyone else's house, so get the other one in order to play as many games across platforms as possible. he had a dreamcast for similar reasons, and most of the gaming was done at that dude's place, played so many fun 4 player games with the bros. most xbox ports looked better, and they got online right before anyone else

As someone who grew up with an Xbox and loved it, I concede that it was competing against one of the greatest consoles of all time with an unbelievably varied library with something for almost any gamer.And I obviously mean the PS2, not the shitcube.

was it my childhood or was newest tech packaged better then? Everything about new tech has been getting less human in its presentation. Or is it just aging. Did our parents think all the new gadgets just looked tacky back in the day?

No fame and then the lack of Silent Hill 3, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Resident Evil 4 just solidified the disinterest, if it had these three games it would've been much more popular for sure.

>It's a much better consoleBold of you. The Xbox barely qualify as a console, it was more like a mediocre early 2000's PC stuffed into an (for console standards) oversized 'box' -hence the name-

It's both more expensive and less powerfull than the PS2https://blogstation2.wordpress.com/tag/evolution/>They say the Xbox is going to be either 600mhz or 1000mhz. The PS2 is only 300mhz. But if you can have your background engine running in 10% CPU and 50% VU1 time, then you have far more power. >I don’t think anyone has ever overstated the complexity of programming for the PS2. But, on the other hand, the Xbox libraries won’t allow you anywhere near the actual hardware, so there is little room for optimisation. Plus, the Xbox doesn’t have the high speed vector units of the PS2, which may be why even the best Xbox games run at 30Hz. >I seriously doubt we would have been able to make Ratchet and Clank run at 60Hz on the Xbox without drastically reducing the number of moving objects.

Inconsistent third party support, and people being happy enough with a PS2. Not to mention Sony was already well established in the gaming world at that point.

It did well. It had no chance in Japan or Europe, and it didn't even try to sell to the third world. It was basically north america only and it still beat the Gamecube, which was following up on the n64's good performance in north america.
