Im not trying to sound like a fanboy, but saying the xbox is like a pc has nothing to do with the gaming experiance. I mean, if you really want to get technical then the ps2 is just as much of a computer. The xbox just has more common components and put together simularly to what we might see in a pc. Besides, for what it's worth, being like a pc just means it can play games and be used as a multipurpose chunck of hardware. Like using it is a live streaming media player, or using it to watch vcd's and many other kinds of video/sound formats, without converting them to a common format. (as for sales, well, it is doing well in the US, but that is probably because the fanbase is more towards fps's unlike some countries like japan.)
When I see the new nokia game console with the 3d rendering, i don't say it sucks because it's a mobile phone, would u?
I forgot to mention one of the common features about the xbox too. I don't play online much, so i didn't mention it above. But from experiance, xbox live is no joke. It really is very good. Socom was really fun on the ps2, i used to play it alot at my friends house when it first came out, but after people started cheating it was just no fun
ps2 games are cheaper by the way, well, older ones anyway.
