Date: August 16th, 2024 12:54 PM Author: Brindle corner partner DVDs and GTA games sort of carried it and those were on Xbox. Almost everything western was on Xbox. PS2 had thousands of games but the good Japanese ones didn't really catch on here. And then 360 won the following gen in the West which shows how popular the original Xbox was with those who had it. I feel that this was another retroactively Lost Gen for Sony, along with the PS1 with the disastrous release of the Classic.

Date: February 1st, 2026 7:05 PM Author: splenetic irradiated area cuckoldry PS2 won handily. It had final fantasy, gran turismo, god of war, silent hill, numerous jrpgs, Twisted metal, metal gear, etc.
Xbox had halo,otogi, wreckless, JSRF, panzer dragoon, gunvalkrie, forza, prject gotham, and usually late ports of games that were a little crisper on xbox
You'd have to really, really like Sega to claim that xbox won |

Date: February 1st, 2026 7:18 PM Author: Brindle corner partner The performance in the following Gen says a lot about how people felt about the prior Gen imo. I think Xbox westerners were hyped for 360 more than PS2 fans were for PS3. PS2 westerners who never finished a JRPG and hated Raiden were like, “uhh, anyone up for some SOCOM: US Navy Seals?” and played online lackadaisically with inept Losers, none of whom cared about what they were playing. PS2 had tons of Titles but lacked a killer western app. Westerners in 2006 were like, “uhhhh, Bluray? Let’s get hyped guys.” The PS3’s victory, btw, was the definition of a Pyrrhic victory.

Date: February 2nd, 2026 2:36 PM Author: splenetic irradiated area cuckoldry First of all, your post needs to be viewed in the context of the fact that you are claiming the PS2 somehow "lost" the gen despite being the best-selling console of all time. The PS2 more than doubled Xbox sales in the US (and the ratio is way worse if you consider worldwide sales). Everyone (westerners included) knew the PS2 won.
But let's extend the logic of your post out a bit. The Xbox One was a massive flop and Microsoft was completely Done Here after that...which says a lot about how people felt about the prior gen, according to you. That makes PS3 the clear winner over Xbox 360, which would also of course make PS2 the clear winner over Xbox.
We can see the culmination of this in the latest Xbox getting absolutely bodied by the PS5, getting outsold 2.7 to 1. I would argue that this is a representation of how people cumulatively felt about all prior gens, in aggregate. The sum total of everything Microsoft has done in gaming is that Microsoft is the loser. The bottom line is that gamers don't care about Xbox. They liked Microsoft bleeding money to provide a massively subsidized Gamepass, but that was never sustainable. As soon as the financial spigot was turned off and Microsoft asked gamers to pay something closer to the true cost of the service, gamers revolted. Microsoft's entry into gaming was a complete failure. Microsoft entirely lost the console war, and no case can be made that it was ever ahead.
This of course is the opposite of the PS3 having a "Pyrrhic victory," as you contend. How is it Pyrric when Sony went on to completely vanquish Microsoft in the following generations? |

Date: February 2nd, 2026 3:21 PM Author: Brindle corner partner OG Xbox was greatly outsold in the west BUT I think its western customers were more satisfied than many care to acknowledge. It really was a “Console that launched with games.” The sort of thing that’s fallen by the wayside but which used to exist. It’s seen as playing with fire. Sega tried it and it all but bankrupted them.
PS2 launched without games. And that’s what drew the developers in. Cutting edge hardware. DVD. No other games for competition initially. That’s what Nintendo learned. Super Mario 64/OOT made western third party games look like shit. So they decided to not even bother. So making Games actually hurt them back then. |
