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.

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

I love PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, PC gaming and Mac gaming from that era with equal enthuasiasm, many great memories from all whether playing alone, playing with others, watching older siblings play etc etc

What’s your diagnosis, doctor? Can I make it in the Journey Home? Am I too gay, not gay enough, or both? Give it to me straight, TYIA.

outside of actual scores, FIFA 2002 had the best soundtrack imo, Gorillaz Tiësto et al

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.

Flower circa 2009 is my all-time favorite video game FWIW. Crazy to think I'd never heard of Autoadmit.com at the time, come to think of it (2012 was the beginning for me IIRC)
